SRC Member Ketchup Posted February 6, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted February 6, 2010 hahaha... just downloaded the pix into the laptop... am doing the 'selection' process now... i think i really need a tripod when using macro lens! 8 out of 10 pictures are blur sia! gimme awhile... but don't expect too much... it's not that 'gem' really! I have the same problem then i rem the blur pic could be due to min focusing distance.. try step back a bit and use close up filter Also, can pump up the ISO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilsontantw Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 And... i believe these are my most expensive corals to-date! Any expert advice on how i can keep them growing? was told to do low light + high flow + feed with cyclopeeze will do... correct?

wilsontantw Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 After i got the acans, gotta do some shifting of the rics to another part of the tank... seems like they quite like it there.... Pic taken 10 mins after their 'relocation' and 'glueing' of the new ones... so not fully opened yet. Definitely just a baby collection compared that NANO-RIC siao (haha... yes Ray, i'm refering to you)... But i do like the variety of colours... the funny thing is, i really can't decipher the colours accurately, so i'll leave it to your 'eye-power'... that's about all for today... there's 1 more zoas that i bought, but it's not open at the time of photoshoot, so no pic... until next update... (hmm... thinking of going to CF tomorrow... haha) Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

Sigh... nonetheless, decided to make some adjustments of corals after buying a few for the new year. i think i'll set a target... stop at 2...... (dozen!) hahaha... No lah...should be 2 dozen (hundred) rite???... How many more did u buy???

Any expert advice on how i can keep them growing? was told to do low light + high flow + feed with cyclopeeze will do... correct? Aussie or Indo acans??? U just need to target feed them once a week using frozen mysis or brine shrimps. Can get at most LFSes ard $1.50-$2.00 per pack. Henry's reef gourmet also works very well but it will foul up your tank very quickly if you overfeed with it.

Wanted to get the one and only chevron tang, but alas, it was reserved! Nice specimen... good size too! And we met Lemon at LCK... He also starts his shopping early! Rics... oh yeah... quite a lot left at CF, greenies especially. I think there are quite a few 'yellow/orange' as well... but my budget for the day is up, so didn't buy Rics...

And thanks Peter, i managed to feed them some henry's today... gosh, the colours are really quite something... took some quick shots with my iPhone earlier... Jeremy: i'm not sure how wifey is going to take it if i go on more LFSing trip... she not very happy today. However, a possible solution could be we get our wives and juniors can together for the "Reefer's lonely wives" club, and we both go LFSing... maybe we can still make it.

Yup, Aussie acans have fantastic colours but the really nice ones are in the region of 6 blue notes upwards depending on the number of mouths they have. How much did you get yours for? Do take note that you have to put your acans a couple of inches away from your other corals otherwise your other corals will get eaten up very quickly.

Probably my XXL cleaner shrimps as well. as you probably have guessed, mine's the 2B2R versions. Was quite fortunate to be there during shipment arrival... but i can say that the 9B notes are really really spectacular! wish i have that kind of spare cash to throw... btw: the pics of iphone turned out really crappy (under actinics and blueplus)... coming right up...
