New custom tank build

Thought I would post some pics of the corals I picked up on vacation in Orlando. I have got to learn how to take better pics

thanks tank girl. hopefully they all get along or i will have to pull a pair out.
 
Some more pics. I picked up my bubblegum monster chalice i purchased a while back and while I was at Custom Reef Creations I picked up a yellow carpet anemone. Some one please stop me before I go completely broke.

Within an hour of putting the carpet in the tank this happened.:bigsmile:

I'm happy to report that everything in the tank is doing really well so far. Only a little aggression between the clownfish so far but I am watching them very close to make sure they don't get out of hand. If things get to bad I will move one of the pairs to the quarantine tank till I can figure out what to do with them.

Omg amazing tank. Love the lights... what kind of lights are those? Expensive? ??

They are AquaIlluminations Vega Colors. They are a bit pricey but full controlability of each led and good spectrum. Not as expensive as the radion pros though.
 
Okay thank you :) im going to look to see how pricey lol

500 for each fixture and about 75 for the controller. Each fixture can cover about a 24 x24 inch area.

The phantom found the carpet some time last night also. So glad that I didn't have to wait long for this to happen.
 
Thanks they are coloring up nicely. Wish I could take better pics

I have a Sony alpha sale but I don't think any of my lenses are macro. I also need to figure out how to whote balance it. I'm using a teipod but haven't tried using a timer which would help. Also I need to try and use manual focus not auto

Man it's been a whole month since I have updated anything. Took alot of pics tonight. Right now the tank is loaded up with a lot of corals from Custom Reef Creations for a commercial that is being shot soon. Bill is having 5 custom tanks bought from his store filmed for the commercial and I am one of the lucky ones to be included. I wish I could keep everything but a few of the pieces are from Bill's personal collection. I will be keeping a few of them and some of the corals do belong to me. So here we go.
