Got a fat bubble

[KahluaZzZ]

Green spots are actually on the glass...not fully opened by i already like it *twirlysmi

very nice piece! i like bubble corals

 

[KahluaZzZ]

Yep..it seems to like the mh. I'm having hard time to reduce the flow over this coral. My aquascaping isn't very cool to place new corals. Hey during the night the tentacles are looong ! Good thing i knew it would need a good distance between this baby and my zoos/star polyps. So fun to check at night. Hope it'll acclimate well and make the 7" like at the store.

yah, the sweepers on those bad boys get ridiculous...putting it in an area of low flow will reduce the number of sweepers i believe (i can verify that for you)

i am sure it will be just fine and fully expand in a week or so...just needs time to adjust. got a full tank shot with that puppy in there?

 

[1979camaro]

borneman tells me they bubbles will expand much more under lower flow and feeding will greatly increase the speed at which they grow.

so, how much did you drop for this guy? $80 CAD or so? (thats about $65 USD for the other Americans)

 

[KahluaZzZ]

65 $ tax...approx 75 CDN. Kinda hurt the wallet, but i couldn't resist.
The ol'timer at the store got a wonderful shipment..almost bought a green hammer...but it was 85 $ + 15.6 % tax. The big problem at this store is that prices are never the same for every person. Prices aren't written for corals.
Last year he probably would have asked me like 100 bucks. Kind of a newbie screwer.
I'll try to ajust my cam for a full tank shot..everytime i tried so far..not enough exposure. My cam shutter speed sucks big time. Tired of taking too dark pics ( without ugly flash ).

 

[KahluaZzZ]

again too dark...even processed in photoshop..

I am going to change my freeking tank to a reef!! All I need is a nice skimmer, more live rock, and lighting, right?............

 

[yamahaguy06]

oh and very nice pics KaluaZzZ!

 

[1979camaro]

kahluazz: if you can change the EV down to like -.7 and increase the film speed to 400 then take the pics at night (no lights in the room but the tank) and you should get a fairly good shot

 

[yamahaguy06]

camaro this is all I need right. for a reef, and kaluaZzZ your tank would be concidered reef right??

 

[1979camaro]

yep, that would be all you need. basically all the stuff we have been talking about to stabilize your tank will also make it reef ready when you get the lights

kahluazz's tank is a burgeoning reef

 

[yamahaguy06]

very nice, cool

 

[KahluaZzZ]

yeah, it's becoming a reef . I would really consider it a reff if : i had more real good LR ( got like 77 pounds of rock, mostly UNporous base rock...heavy as a hummer so it looks much much less ), and if i buy bigger corals. Got lot of frags.

 

[KahluaZzZ]

mhh tried the EV before..didn't see much difference. Having doubt about the quality of the cam. Not much advanced options

 

[1979camaro]

how about the ISO? did/can you adjust it? some of it is probably your halides; 14000k is prett blue

 

[KahluaZzZ]

got 20000k..even worse. Nope ISO isn't adjustable. I tried different lightings..and this is the best i could have. Before i used my friend's deluxe Canon cam...and i could adjust everything and pictures were way better.

 

[dbacksrat]

either you have some dust on your camera lense or your bubble has planaria--try a freshwater dip (for the camera and/or the bubble coral)

 

[1979camaro]

nuts...i reckon you are just SOL then eh?

 

[1979camaro]

Green spots are actually on the glass...*twirlysmi

just looking out
