Picktchoors!!!

There is a weird dampening effect over some of the corals that completely prevent a picture being in focus of them, no matter what. The tort in particular, even the photos are kind of hard to look at. Guess I need to keep experimenting to find the ideal settings. But here are some non-throwaways from tonights efforts..

Red planet!


Cali tort


Supposed to be a blue polyp stylo but seems to be slowing turning pink..


Rainbow stylo but also seems to be pinkifying..


Dunkin' duncans.. (danke!)


Acans..


MOAR ACANS!!



Lavender tang, totally underrated tang in my opinion..


Cleaner shrimp plus survivors of caulerpa damaged Stylo from my 40g. Effecting a recovery (I can see growth) and has gone from brown to .. um .. moar pink. Good think I have a thing for pink stylos!!


Male bellus angel


Potter's angel


Growing fast and darkening up (had bleached a little in a pellet incident over the summer in my 40g)


Canary wrasse


Purple sherbet! Yum yum.


Insert Monty Python accent: Anyone else have something better to do than march up and down the square! The .. PIANO?! Right-oh, off you go .... (Lieutenant tang)


And this girl needs to be moved over soon. Still chumming with the butterflies and eel in the 115g for now:


Thanks for looking

By Gosh Tony, I think you've got it! SPS thriving in your tank. The curse is broken!

Colours look great!

I have a bit of a theroy about sps keeping. From my expirence when I had a fair amount of LPS and some softies any sps (even birdsnest) would RTN within hours. I had always thought it was because maybe my nitrates were to high or something. However now that I don't have many lps or softies in my tank I am finding that I can keep sps and my nitrates haven't changed so...... maybe less lps & softies = sps alive?

I have mostly been adding Acans and other softies and the sticks keep looking better lol. I think it's a giant game of chance and you take as many pictures as you can while you're winning. Tony you're winning so snap snap!
