[fishrule]

Wow, that is an amazing camera! Love the pictures. It looks more like art then a fish tank. I don't know how you keep it so clean!

As colorful as everything is... my eyes keep being drawn to that large puffy plain deep red acan. .

Me too.

Nice job with the tank it looks awesome.

Red acans are beautiful I agree, but that hammer WOW amazing!!!!!

 

[superkat]

stunning!

Thanks!

Although a few corals were relocated, and it may seem that I have gone backwards, I feel that the tank looks less cluttered, and has much potential to be better than it was. I honestly felt that the hammer was taking away from the torch coral a bit, and want to limit myself to only the torch euphyllia for this tank. If I had a larger aquarium, multiple euphyllia would work.

I also plan on sticking with only zoas and palys on the rockwork. and nothing else. I also plan to start a mushroom garden underneath the torch coral rock, and relocate the zoos that are there now to the main branch.

Here is where things currently are.
*full lighting... so colors may look a bit washed out compared to the blue plus shots I usually post*

And New acan added. the mini colony of my favorite coral (Thanks )

thanks for looking all

DUDE! that torch is REDIC!

Hahahahaha!!!!!! That's one of the best things I've ever heard!

Dan, I am completely in love with that tank. Very impressive!!!! I can only assume that you spend alot of time at ARC huh? Frickin Happy endingz is totally insane, as is the todds. I am def a big fan on the all red acan, and once my tank is up and running again, I'm doing Randy's acan pack if he's still got that going on. Keep it up dude its totally inspiring!

Tank looks great Dan. Keep up the good work.

That's a very beautiful coral display; I look forward to seeing it grown out.

 

[dan10342]

Thanks everyone. Your compliments mean a lot to me.

Took this FTS this morning, before the corals got a chance to fully open. However, I think I'm at the point now, where I can just let everything grow in. I'm pretty much out of room, except for 1-3 more select corals. (some mushrooms and a watermelon chalice... oh well)

*mind the snail on the glass*

thanks for looking,
dan

Your nano looks great... your mini-colony of Happy Endings ain't half bad either. :thumbsup:

 

[reefscape15]

[shawna1972]

Love it!

Dan you should really start a thread giving tips on aquarium photography! What camera/lens do you use?

 

[dan10342]

thanks!!

pimpinitup6969, perhaps someday I will make one, when I become more comfortable with the camera. Its a nikon d3000 with stock lens. I hope to get a better lens soon though.

What a difference it makes when the corals are actually open!

And every once in a while, I happen to take a photo I really like.

Here is one for June:

thanks for looking all
