Norg's 30 gallon reef (New stuff pg.7)

Haha. Thanks Grim! I have to have a steady hand for my job so I can usually shoot at around 1/13-1/15 of a second and still get clear shots. It really just takes some practice. What I did for these shots was use my exposure composition tool in my shooting menu. I moved it up to +5, meaning plus five stops I believe. This way I can shoot with a higher aperture to still get some depth of field and I can keep my shutter speed up around 1/100th of a second. Better images can be gotten by shooting with a tripod but I did it this way simply because I didnt have time to mess around with it.

 

Great pics! You certainly have a knack for taking those closeups.

Never knew those lenses existed, I'll have to look into them.

 

fantastic pics my friend!

 

I recently added some more corals as well as equipment to this system and thought I would click a couple pictures. I apologize in advance for some of the slight blurring. Didnt realize my diopter filter had a smudge on it until after uploading the pictures. :/



Obligatory FTS



Kinda forgot I had some chalices in the frag system. They will be better suited for the 30 gallon so I decided to make a spot for a small chalice collection.



Pink chalice, its starting to develop slight hints of green though.



A while back I heard this chalice be referred to as a bubble gum chalice?



Montipora that I got from ToddSails on 3reef. Thanks again Todd!



Im going to make Chris (Biocube) jealous by posting this one. I know how much he wants it for himself. Haha. This picture isnt very good but this is an ORA Bellina acropora like pictured below. Cant wait for this to grow out.





Added this pitiful sized frag of ORA birds of paradise. It broke off of one of my colonies in the frag tank on accident when I was fragging it.



Green slimer.



Cant wait for the left side of the tank to start growing in. I added red montipora digiata, ORA Jeremy's green montipora, and blue/green stag recently.



The right side. Begging for some more acros.



Sump/fuge. Recently added carbon/GFO reactor and an aerator.



Wire management! Finally was able to clean this up a bit.

Well thats really what has been going on with this tank in a nutshell. I would like to run an Apex controller with auto dosers as soon as I can. An mp10 is also being seriously considered. :

 

Lol love your clean wires. Looks sweet dude. Love the SPS

 

wow this is the first time that i'm seeing that tank and i have to say i love your rock work, and your new adds are beautiful

 

That Bellina is a very nice coral! Heard they're slow growing.

 

I WANT THAT FRAG NOW!!!!!!!!!


I'm stealing it Wed, iv added it to the reminders on my phone.

Looking good man, can't wait to see them in person and my tank.

 

Thanks man! Cant touch Chris's Biocube, but its a step in the right direction.

Thanks man! The rock work came together really well. I scaped the tank with a buddy of mine. Getting two perspectives on the rock work was really helpful.

Thanks Jerry! I got that piece a while ago and its just now starting to have noticable growth. Not very fast, but faster than some others in my acro collection.

Haha! Keep thinking you are taking my Bellina! Ill frag it for you eventually.

 

I'll wait outside your house in line starting today.
