Nice looking SPS you got there. It's funny how the colors always look so much more vibrant on the top down shots. Thanks for sharing!

Is this your purple poison shortcake?? Mine is grayish orange, no polyps and no growth. Maybe i should put it in your tank for a while!

Thanks! You are right, the top down pics do look more vibrant...

Brad, that isn't the PP shortcake... Shoulda check the pics before posting...:question: this is a piece I got from Kelly or from the order you and I did back in June or july. Here is the top down pic of the same one...

I think it was the funky radion lights doing the special effects. If it ever turns out like that pic I will be sure to save a sliver for you. :lol:

Here is the top down of the PP shortcake...

It is the left piece to the setosa... Grayish pink-purple with some green. I do get PE but not in this pic.

Ah, ok, closer to mine, but I still don't have any color. You're numbering system is off a bit :)

Hahaha. Prob quoted the wrong pic earlier. Perhaps the Radion will help you with the color issue?:lol: What does it look like near the T 5s?

It's not a light issue, it's just a brown frag :) Maybe it will improve, dunno....

Here we go again Wayne.... Lol

Rich, don't stir the pot! Lol

Things are looking great Wayne.
I found the PP shortcake is slow to color up but once it starts it it changes fairly quickly.

Looking good Wayne, is the radion fixed yet?

Hey Chris,
Thanks! I am currently discussing with Martin on the defective replacement radion. The internal clock seems to be defective as it is not syncing with the Ecotech software (program)... At least there is light... but sure is a pain to turn it on and off everyday.

Wayne

Looks good Wayne. Can't wait to see it in person :)

Great News today... I should be getting the replacement light for my replacement light soon. Aqua Digital quickly responded and this time has sent me (by email) of the tracking # for the new lights.

Once received I will change all the Radion lens (the TIR lens kits are sitting on the shelf at the moment)!

Certainly a good start for Sept after a crappy Aug..

Hi Greg,

Thank you and thank you for the info on the PP Shortcake! :biggrin:

Jason, looking forward to having you over soon. Your CM frags are doing well!:wink:

Wayne the new lenses for the Radions are awesome ! I can't believe how much brighter and way better spread they are now. The swap is easy and the enclosed instructions are very clear.
We did have a chuckle, as part of the install is to add two clips to hold the wire harness away from the LEDS.. Something that obviously should have been done during manufacture:wink:

Shelley, thank you for sharing and glad to hear that the new lens are making a difference! I hope to have mine changed over once the replacement light arrives. :biggrin: don't forget to reduce the intensity so that your corals get used to the new lens. If possible share some pics to show the difference...

Recieved the replacement radion for the original replacement radion this evening.unlike the first time, the package arrived in a reasonable time. I have set the new light along with the new TIR lens for all three units. The replacement light seems to be working properly along with the two original lights and the light program seemed to work fine in demo mode. Now to test to see if it can run a full cycle without any problems...

As for the TIR lens, they seemed much brighter, better spread and able to reach the corals near the bottom better. I have toned down the intensity level at this time to 70% and will monitor and increase the intensity level gradually over time.

Test pics with Canon 5D mark iii
 

Just picked up a Canon 5d mark iii DLSR and took some pics of the tank and corals at time when the Radions were transitioning to night settings. I have to say that I am very impressed with quality with the following pics taken at 3200 iso except for one at 2500... No photoshop required. :smile:

Nice photos! What lens did you use for the photos?

Thanks, these were just "fun shots". I was jut using the 50mm f1.8

Your tank is filling out so nicely!! I'm really questioning your idea of adding mini maxi anemones tho..

Wow buddy!!! Tank is filling in fast. It's looking more and more like TOTM!:lol: I think it's about that time to submit your entry!

Yup, I think he's there!! Wayne, do we have a tank??

wow that is nice....totm nice indeed:)

Hey Wayne, I've been really looking forward to seeing your tank. Wow looks great. Can't wait for you to have a frag swap of your own. And as usual great photography. Skills.:biggrin:

Shelley, thanks! You got a point on them nems... Really have to think about it now...:neutral:

Hi Ronnie, thanks and love to have you and others over soon... Shall we plan a local tour again? I know Rich and several others would love to attend too! I think we can work it into Kevink's frag swap at his place in nov but have not heard from him when in nov.. If not we can certainly try to have one at my place... Late oct? :smile:

Guys, thank you but like Brad, I am not ready as there are still many things I have to do like setting up the controller etc... Even if I m I am behind a long line of other tanks that deserves the recognition... Rich.... Let's get yours submitted soon! I'll come over with my new Canon bad boy! You are gonna love the 5d mark iii!:smile:

Great to see the commitment Wayne, I'll send you the details on what we need for the write up!! :razz:

You mean sending it to Rich...

If he's writing about your tank, sure.

I think you miss read my reply earlier... :razz:

Nope. I just ignored what you said :razz:

This is gonna be such a cool TOTM.....

:confused::drinking:
:crazy::crazy:

I know. Rich and I can write it up, and we can steal pics from this thread. You get the fame, we'll do the work :)

Another pic update
