rarelyseriousb first tank.

[rarelyseriousb]

The tank is a 37 tall (which sucks). I have a 175 mh and 4 t5 on it. the skimmer is a Euro-reef 80. Is that to big for the tank. I am battling alge at the moment. I cant get rid of it. I took all the rock out picked it all out and it still comes back. My coral is slow growing I think. Im working on My pick skils still.

here are some picks of some of my coral. My friend took them. they looked good till we posted them on photo bucket the it dulled out the pics.(any ideas)

[mltascp]

Ya I have learned my lesson. Im taking a pick when there new. write down the name and see how they morph.

 

[mltascp]

Zoas and palys are my fav and you have a nice collection.

Good stuff Spike!

How about you use www.smugmug.com instead of photobucket? I have a coupon if you want it, $5 off.

 

[Saltysteele]

Sweet, man!

I'll take one of each

 

[reef-lover]

Spike, you have a nice tank...

Anthony,
Nice collection of corals and nice set of shots. The one shown below is the standout for me. Many of your shots suffer from having too much in the image that detracts from the subject. Try composing/shooting your images such that the coral of interest fills the frame, or nearly so. They'll have much more impact. Also, many of your shots are a bit overexposed. Try underexposing by a half to full stop in relation to what the camera meter is telling you. Nice work, nonetheless.

Actually Im spike My buddy Anthony is the one who took the pictures. I really appreciate the advice. We are both trying to learn how to better our aquarium pics. Hes much more experinced photog than I am so I will relay all tips to him so we each learn. I did mean to crop the pics but It was getting late. Im not sure he could zoom closer or not. After looking back they are overexposed. We will work on it.:wink:

Realy? Ive been wondering this for awhile. I was wondering if I should start overfeeding. I dont get to much skimmate and my growth is slow. Ideas?

 

[rarelyseriousb]

Ok I have some new zoas in the tank but My buddy Is holding the pics hostage. I got some sweet frags locally and Reef_Pets hand some sweet stuff. I got like 8 new zoas.

I wouldn't start overfeeding, but start looking for areas where you aren't stable. salinity? temp?
