Just playing around, took a few shots top down with the flash.

Yellow Millepora, just glows

A fairly new addition and another favorite, Acropora papillare

The one I call "purple rain" not sure why just sounds cool I guess, Acropora nobilis
http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a174/sphelps/Corals/DSC_0021_edited.jpg


This is a red Acropora abrotanoides, it lost it's color shortly after addition but I'm working on getting it back, you can see the red coming though the new growth, just need my new reactor and we should see some good results.

Ahh, my purple tort, gotta love it, Acropora tortuosa

Not an enhanced picture, it's seriosuly that pink, Stylopora

Not the best color but a great growth pattern, quite unusual, forget the name

Has it's better days, looks great after Zeospur dosage, Acropora formosa

Another favorite, porites. It even has a few X-mas worms growing out of it.

Looks great Steve. Nice pictures and you have some sweet pieces there. Love the orange clam. Well done.

Man I love pinks Stylopora's but that one is super intense! Wow. Anytime I've tried Stylopora I found it to be a very slow grower. How is this one for you?

Yes I find the same, all my stylos grow much slower than anything else.

Looks sweet. I like the yellow Milli. Everything is very vibrant. Are you running any Bactiria methods like ZeoVit?

Yes I use Zeovit, you can read more about the additives I use and my dosage schedule in the FTOM (November).

Nope, no enhancements. All the above pictures where taking with the aquarium lights off, the camera flash was the only light used. The pictures were transfered directly from the camera to Photobucket and posted here :mrgreen:

I'm going to try and get a picture of my new lionfish tonight with the same method.

Good idea!

Every time I'm there it's only for a few hours though. Next time I'll book a later flight home, and pop in for a while.
