Blueheaven's tank

[blueheaven]

Hi guys, its been a while since I posted on my tank thread.

Got a new DSLR today so here's some testing pics.

Enjoy!

[blueheaven]

My green Palythoa sp. that is growing too big

[blueheaven]

Tried shooting at the fishes which had been really kind to stay at the same location for me to shoot.

This chromis had been with me since my tank set up few years back

[blueheaven]

And this is one of the anthias my parents bought without my notice

They sure do bring some life into my tank

[blueheaven]

And of course a full tank shot

Notice I did massive fragging to my tank to make space for the colonies to grow out

shoot raw.. then you wont have problem with white balance anymore. the sand should be white not blue.. usually i set mine to 5200, daylight. which dslr are you using?

[godzillaliu88]

Hey Blueheaven, find the old pic of your tank and post a comparison lah.

I tried shooting in RAW but it'll be harder for me to resize and post here

I had some shots in RAW which I'll try to post later to compare.

The white balance is only a little more bluish as those who has seen my tank in person will notice that my tank is really blue

Oh and I'm using Olympus Evolt E500 with Zuiko 14-45mm lens

[blueheaven]

how many blue tubes you using?

seems to be more bluish.

I'm using 2x250w BLV 20k with 2x54w T5 BluePlus

Hey Blueheaven, find the old pic of your tank and post a comparison lah.

This is my tank shot 2/1/06 (the most recent I could find)

[blueheaven]

Some SPS shots

Orange monti 4th generation frag

[blueheaven]

My laptop doesn't read CF cards and I don't have a card reader yet so uploading into the laptop would take some time considering that it is using the old version of USB.

I'll post more pics in a while

is that a mini gonio next the to oragne monti?

did it grow out by itself?

[blueheaven]

A very very slow growing frag...

[blueheaven]

Nope that's a baby leather coral

I used to have this big piece which attached itself to the rock and while trying to remove it, I left a few strands of tissue there. Then after some weeks, it regenerated into a complete specimen again and after that, it remained this size till now

[blueheaven]

One of my favourite SPS colonies

I bought this one when it was bleached and as luck would have it, it turned out to be such a beautiful specimen!

[blueheaven]

Closer look at this specimen (I need a macro lens!)

[blueheaven]

This one came from a frag which Keith and I chipped off from the main colony.

It was slightly bleached and injured but it recovered and is forming a very nice growth form

[blueheaven]

Green body birdnest frag from a reefer friend

[blueheaven]

Blue candycane from Joe

Started off with 3 polyps

[blueheaven]

Rics and acan lords

[blueheaven]

Heavily cropped picture of a pink gonio which is recovering in my tank as it wasn't doing so well at the LFS

[blueheaven]

Last pic for the day, my sunflower zoos from Joe
