Wow indeed, what did you change? The difference is remarkable.

Nice corals! Needless to say, jealous. Will be really keen to see these guys grown in come say six months from now.

You know Tony, honestly I don't know. Caley was home at the time I wanted to snap some pictures. I gave her that camera and she changed something to make the camera think that the aquarium lights were the "flash". I told her never to change that setting and just "leave it" for me.

Before I'd try the tripod and the pictures just sucked. Now I can just point and shoot!

The FTS still needs work though. The colours aren't right. Corals are brighter in person.

I know I'll have to do a lot of pruning down the road cause I have a lot of frags in there. I'm interested to see the "final colour" of the corals in my system too. I know corals look different in everybody's tank. I too am looking forward to the "grown in" look, instead of the frag tank look.

Wow! Nice frags and growth. Tank is going to look terrific when some of those babies fill in.

Forgot to include pics of my auto top off upgrade - went from siphon to drilled tank. No more worries of losing siphon

Enjoy.

Another couple of corals I like:

Have no idea what this is but I split it with my friend. We flipped for the base I think and he got the base

This is Snappy's famous Uber Grabe Milli as Mindy would call it

Love all your stuff! That freebie frag is really nice, I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks as it grows. Might just have to hit you up for some frags once stuff grows

Frags are no problem once everything grows. I know that I'll have to do a lot of pruning as my frags are really close together right now. My strategy is to sort of let the really colourful ones grow big and either sell or keep fragging the ones that I don't like so much or the ones that stay brown/tan.... We'll see, it's all a learning process

So my wife pretends to be "uninterested" in the hobby but I caught her red-handed staring at the tank after the kids when to bed. I was upstairs doing something and saw her staring so I quickly grabbed the camera without her knowing. She may roll her eyes at this hobby and get annoyed at the things I do for the aquarium, but deep down inside she loves it. Here's proof:
