GQLMAO's Small Peninsula Tank

Small update: Picked up a purple acro mini colony from Reef wonderland!



My other mini colonies, still having troubles with the reflection of the lights on the water, again Reef Wonderland Fiji mini colonies!



Ric shot:



African Deep Water Hornets from Reef wars!

Wow you nailed that last shot, nice work!

Great looking coloured sticks and stuff too!

Thanks! I am still fiddling around with the camera, I find that as long as the shot is perpendicular to the glass it is easier to shoot. Hopefully I will get some more shots in the near future to document coral growth and coloration.

Nice tank and stick collection...btw I like your gundam collection as well!

[gqlmao]

Thanks! I am sure you have a very fine stick collection juding by the name . Maybe I'll get a can of air duster and take some pictures of my favourite gundam, not in the picture shown. Then maybe Canreef will pay more attention to the tank!

I have quite a few high end sticks in my collection and slowly adding more.i love gundams...would be really interested to see what you have.

Very nice! Looks like you've figured out the whole photography thing :-)

I would trade you my gundams for frags JK. I am a big MG fan, they are just the right size for me and they have enough detail for inking and painting. I think I got about 8 MGs, 1 PG.

Barely, I think I just need to take lots more pictures. I don't know if it is the leds but pictures are really dark when I shoot the side profile of the acros. It is probably the hard shadows, rendering certain positions impossible without a flash.

I've come to realize that both from taking pictures and coral response, I might need a second unit and angle the lights to overlap, or go t-5s. I finally realized how limiting 1 led unit can be especially when you are trying to cover a 24"x18" area. Certain areas don't get enough light.

I got into Gundams during the Gundam Wing days. Started collecting those and then it got crazy from there.. I have a few boxes in my closet that still need to be opened

I dunno man, those pics look pretty good :-) LEDs are challenging to photograph though. They can easily trick the camera's sensor.
