Will do Brad.

daplatapus 08-05-2012 04:51 AM

Geeze I gotta get me a macro lens. Those are some really amazing shots. If I get to do the upgrade I'm wanting to do I may have to come to the mainland to pick up a tank and maybe do some tank tours :D

Thanks very much Wayne! It sure is coming along. I'll bet you tank is looking as good as mine. I haven't been taking too many photos lately, pretty busy with life. I wish I can capture the "true image" of my tank...it's so much nicer in person. Guess I'll have to keep trying.

Those pics are shot with my 18-250IS lens without a tripod, I was pretty lazy today...:redface: I'll snap some macro tomorrow for you guys. If you are ever in town, just let me know and you are more then welcome to stop by. Mine isn't the nicest setup in town but it still looks good. Well at least in my mind.

Not yet Wayne, I have been meaning to get one....I did contact broadway cameras and they told me that they will order one in for me and it should arrive soon. Hopefully I'll have it soon. Still thinking about the 180mm...:twised:

Tank report...Things are all doing very well. knock on wood. Some pictures of new and old. I have been going a bit over board with adding corals to my tank. I need to do some serious trimming, but I guess it's always a good thing to be saying that.:biggrin:

I have been going a bit over board with my reef purchases and the worst part is we are still in summer....:redface:

Tank has been running fairly stable except for alkalinity consumption. I have been supplementing with RX6 duo calcium reactor, large kalk reactor plus manually dosing and still I have problem keeping up with it.

http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/...2E78C90DB6.jpg

I have recently traded in a few large volley ball size sps colonies to lfs hoping that will curb the up take but I am sure some thing else is gonna grow in place of those colonies, or new arrivals like this one.

Rich, your tank is gorgeous and looking better everyday! I don't think it is the corals in display tank that is running your Alk... I think it is your frag tank that is doing it:twised:

Rich, we should be more understanding, be more supportive and help you through your ordeal!:neutral:
So... When would you like us to come over and start trimming and removing your excessive frag collection?:twised:

SeaHorse_Fanatic 09-07-2012 04:08 PM

Most serious reefers are OCD in my experience. :redface:

We'll have to start a local OCD Reefer's Anonymous group with weekly meetings and tours of the LFS to help cope with the epidemic. I nominate Rich as our club prez:lol:
