yeah i agree the boarder is larger then i thought. Its the first time i tried to post from my iphone and i guess it has more limitations then i thought. I will use the DSLR and snap a few new ones and post them though photobucket next week.

So here are the same pics from above but i uploaded them from my computer instead of the app i have on my iphone. I dont think i like the border so i wont be using that again. The pictures look pretty good for a camera phone but the quality is no where near a DSLR.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or comments.

I sold a birdnest colony and fragged a bunch of my A.staghorn corals. It allowed me to move a few things around and to make my sand bed a bit cleaner. Take a look at the pictures and let me know what you think. As always questions and comments encourgaed.

Pictures were taken with my iPhone 4.

Thanks A lot nebthet. I will see if I can borrow a Dslr with a macro lens again. Its been a while since I used a Dslr and taken some decent quality pictures. If I am correct last time i checked your tank looks like it has cleaned up and went on a growth spurt. Good job with your tank and I look forward to seeing an update on here.

Alright, you ask and you shall receive. I borrowed a DSLR and a few different lenses and took a bunch of pictures. I don’t have much camera skills but these are some of the better ones. I should have used a tripod for the macro lens. The pictures were coming out blurring because I couldn’t stay still lol. I think a few of them turned out amazing so i hope you enjoy.

Sps coral shots:

I could not get a good picture becuase of the placement of some of my nicest zoanthids, including my orange colony with green skirts and two different pink colonies.

Nice shots.. thanks... Those digis are looking really good now. How many different colors of them do you have? three?

Time to move that sponge away from those zoas though if it is bugging them.

Keep up the great work.

and yes.. my tank had been growing, but it slowed down a lot the last few months as a bulb change was nearing, and I had to fix water conditions because the tank didn't take well to using zeovit food.

Neb,

I have 5 digis. Dark green, light green, red, reddish orange, and purple which is more like brown. Most of them are hiding in behind corals or against the back wall.
