Founder And Admin's Tank

Reef central's Oct tank of the month will sent our ricordea fanatics drooling. SPS guys also will drool. We lose hands-down not in terms of equipment or skill but that we cannot get such beautiful specimens in Singapore!

Give us those specimens and we'll probably outdo them.

I'm sure you can.

[Cookiemunster]

Tsk Tsk, poor reef poor fishes poor copepods, hardly any space left for anything to move. No wonder the poor powder blue looks like he is going to cry.

Bro you really need to stop. Give away some corals. You are guilty for destroying a really really large reef population.

Reef Police!!!!!

Pictures on the first page has been restored.

Ooi AT!

I think your pictures are too underexposed. You need a bit more light to capture the colour but not so much that it drowns out the contrast.

[Achilles Tang]

Yeah... it's massively underexposed... coz the centre acro table is reflecting too much white light, you can't really see it once I bring up the contrast.

[coralreef]

send to me...i try to use PS to do it

[Tanzy]

Have you tried ISO100 F2.8 1/125? Unless you use filters, you can't get pictures that look like how our eyes perceive the actual tank. I guess you will just have to compromise for the sake of colours and let certain areas be overexposed. It also reveals a problem with lightingm indicating that the light is not that well dispersed over the tank with hotspots and dark areas.

[Achilles Tang]

You have seen my lighting rail. All my current pix are shot only with the Radium/Ushio blue MHs on. The rail was pushed into the middle of the tank, so naturally, less light falls on the darker areas of near the front glass.

Guess the best photo will be possible when all four bulbs are on.. but the sakis at the back will be immensely bright... like your first pix taken by you in this thread... washed out... how to balance off?

[Tanzy]

You must use a SLR with filters I suppose or electronically manipulate the picture.

[Achilles Tang]

hmmm... here's a test shot... with flash... shot appears even more grainy.

Now my Chocolate Mimic Tang looks more like himself without the radium induced blue!

[Achilles Tang]

Hon, as requested... the pix of my latest acquisition... two table acros.

[Achilles Tang]

Closeup.

[Achilles Tang]

Hey, this mode is fun!

Here's a whitish acro with lavender polyps.

[Achilles Tang]

Here's my purple branched acro with orangy yellow body.

[Achilles Tang]

Cool! This mode seems to bring out the colours... gonna take another full tank shot tomorrow!

Here's my extremely purple encrusting montipora....

It's next to my birds nest coral that's finally turning pink after a few months.

[Achilles Tang]

Man! The colours are popping out!

[Cleartank]

AT, you got to secure you doors and windows if not I will break into your place and kidnap your GEMS

[williammuk]

Beautiful!

Because of photos like these, more and more reefers are being enticed into the cult!

Well done, AT!

[Achilles Tang]

I am but a humble member of the Great Al Fragya Fundamentalist Cult!

May all who enter our fold be honoured to serve our Calcium Carbonate masters with all our body, heart, mind and soul!

Let us open our hearts and wallets and offer daily sacrifices of money and sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, calcium hydroxide as we gain our satisfaction from their growth, pleasure from colours and the waving of polyps!

May we sacrifice sleep, time and loved ones, yeah even our very food money, just to pursue the ultimate nirvana!

[hghflyer]

Wouldn't it be nice to have a short video clipping/poster-size pic of your tank(incl indi pic of each corals/fish) to illustrate on how reef-keeping should be at Aquarama 03.

Just a thought...

[Achilles Tang]

There will be a photo gallery of sorts for members' tanks and their inhabitants.

[Achilles Tang]

Anyway.... I started a new thread on my tank here.
