Updated Pictures of my 120 Gal Reef

Roll221 · 09/01/2011, 11:19 AM

Took some updated pictures last week with my new camera. I got a Canon Rebel T2i. I don't think I have it completely figured out yet, but I think these turned out nice. I do know I need a good macro lens but these will have to do for now. Here is my previous thread if you want to see it all from the beginning. Enjoy as I know how we all like looking at the pictures

ORA Red Planet, sill encrusting really no indication of it starting to table yet.

Generic Teal Blue Stag, really starting to look nice.

Strawberry Patch Cap

Bubble Gum Milli, can't wait till it grows out. It got those three right side branches then just stopped branching and then started to encrust more?!?!?

Ed,

Still getting the growth

I suppose it could be your camera, but your colors even look to be better too. Are you noticing better color as they get used to your lighting, etc?

As far as my color goes it's always been good. I have not changed lighting in the past 9 months, need new T5s soon though. Just seems like some have always maintain their "true" color while some have faded away and are now slowly starting to regain their name sake colors.

The “Tubbs Pink Jade” (2nd pic, bigger brownish one behind the purple tip Acro) is regaining its greenish undertones but yet to see and pink tips. The "ORA Blue Iris" (2nd pic top right encrusted with not many branches) is about 60% back to the color is was when I got it. The "Idaho Grape Cap" and "Raspberry Milli" (Obvious in 1st pic) have solidly maintained their color even with everything my tank has gone through in the last 20 months.

Thanks for Looking,
Ed
