Nice! I like the strange purplish/green coloration on that anemone. Your cap clown still looks pretty small....mine is almost 2" already. lol...i think i should lighten up on my feeding... :X

How bout a full tank shot?

Cap is still about 1.5". It was the male (female jumped ... found it on the floor all dried up when i moved out my old 120g).

No full tank shots yet until this diatom phase goes away

Excellent stuff as always, Len. Is that lit with flash or tank-lights? If flash, from above? Judging from the shadows, it looks like it's from above. What kind of ISO and shutter/aperture are you using?

Hey John! 8)

Those shots were ambient light, no flash. That's why the light looks like it's coming from the top I was shooting between F5.6 and F8 with the halides and and getting 1/30 to 1/200 shutter speeds! My current lights are incredibly bright and affords me the opportunity to shoot flash-less photos more easily

I haven't bunked down to shoot more tank photos yet. Too busy setting this tank up and waiting for coralline to finally take off.

That's awesome. In this new 29 I'm running 2x55wPC and I can shoot pretty quick through most of the tank, too. BIG switch from the 130gal with only VHOs!!

How long does that usually take, assuming Ca levels in the mid 400s?

Oh, sorry i missed your question. Coralline is funny. Sometimes it takes off right away, sometimes it slowly builds up then explodes. I actually don't want that super coralline encrusted look (i like turf algae in moderation) but knowing how much supplements I'll be adding by way of ca reactor, kalkreactor, and bionic, I'll probably end up with a coralline tank regardless.

Nice set len.
