all of these pics were taken with a 100mm macro lens - still having trouble getting great macro shots.

Been seeing a lot of those lordhowensis online lately. Would like to get some eventually. Not cheap little guys. Awesome shots Ace. Very cool. I need to get a tripod for my camera to make life a little easier taking pics.

[hobogato]

actually, austin aquafarms has some frags for $20 - that is where most of ours came from.

[rrasco]

Nice. I'm really getting into all the acans out there. I love open brains. Also wish I could find some more affordable ones.

[koa25]

I might have to give austin aquafarms a visit. Those would be awesome. Thanks for the heads up, Ace.

[Mr Cob]

Ace, all of those are super sweet corals and pics! That purple tunicate is nice, bet that adds a great little splash of color to the tank.

[350gt]

I want the bazooka joe...... That is sweet.


Nice pics ace....

[alton]

Nice corals and pictures Ace. Hey when you going to move another tank, your lovely wife said she would bake cookies next time?

[Bill S]

I saw all of these personally yesterday... These tanks are insane.

[reefreak]

Those acans and that bazooka joe had me drooling! Everythings looking good ace!

Super nice squamosa. My favorite pic by far!

thanks cory. the clam is a stunner. the blue smudges on the inside show correctly in the pic, but the outside rim is actually blue green.
