Went to Reefapalooza today found some great acros and some other stuff. Mortgage payment might be a lil late this month but was well worth it

That's on serious haul!

20 frags is definitely a serious haul. You're either gonna need more rock, a bigger tank, to get rid of less desirable ones, or just keep everything trimmed tiny

Total haul was 18 acros, 1 monti, 1 lepton, 1 cyphastrea and one euphyllia total 22 frags.

Picked up a small ceramic frag rack for most of the new frags until I can find proper placement in the display.

Actually seen this at the show and am seriously considering replacing all my rock work with these ceramic structures. Will provide a lot more surface are for corals.

Thats awesome!

Moved some rocks around and got most of the new pieces mounted.

Same FTS just used a different gel filter not sure which one works better

One of these day I will get a real camera and learn to take better pics. But iPhone and gel filters will have todo for now

FloformAustria · 07/03/2016, 03:48 AM

looking good!!

the top downs are pretty good for iPhone pics!

cheers

sahin · 07/03/2016, 04:51 AM

Corals are looking great.

Keep up the awesome work.

Bpb · 07/03/2016, 06:33 AM

How do you do your top downs. Also...download Lightroom for iPhone and you will be able to get the color 99.9% correct with just a few temperature and tone slider adjustments. I know how tough it can be photographing a reef with a cell phone but Lightroom will compensate for that almost entirely. You'll just be lacking the extremely high spatial resolution of a true DSLR camera

For top downs currently using an acrylic coral viewer with phone placed in it. Thanks for the info on the app I'll give it a try.

reefmutt · 07/04/2016, 11:04 AM

Wow! You have a lot of really nice pieces in there.
Looking fantastic.
This tank will be amazing when they get all grown in.

Thanks but it's nothing like the collection you got going on

I probably will have to pull some out once everything really starts to fill in and only keep the nicest ones. Gunna need another frag tank soon

How is the juvi French Angel behaving?

French angel is doing great getting big and still not nipping. The queen angel on the other hand is getting too big for the tank and acting like a he's at the Jersey shore so will have to be re-homed soon.

Messing around with Lightroom app definitely think it helps

Great colours in this pic!
Love the granulosa (I think) in the forground.
I'd love to see it in all its colourful (and focused) glory!

Thanks Matt
I think it's one of the better pictures I have taken

When I bought it awhile back was told it was a frag from "the ultimate Efflo" now that it has settled and really taken off over the last few months I think it is

reefmutt · 07/12/2016, 01:53 PM

Nice!
Although the growth tips look long, the whole coral sure looks like an efflo.
Really nice growth and colour.

glaukos · 07/12/2016, 04:23 PM

The top down shot if that coral is craaaazy man

Guys could this be a solitaryensis?

It looks exactly like the second pick in this ************ article.

Ian sure if I had it in higher light I could pull a lot more green and blue out of the body

Edit:

Ugh silly forum rules just google " the tale of the ultimate efflo"

Usernam Invalid · 07/13/2016, 12:13 PM

Picked up 2 more of the large marine pure blocks 4x4x8
