Will do Crispin - those pics were taken at 100 maybe i should try 200?

- Thread starter poiromaniax

the candy cane and the zoas are both great pics, but the fish show alot of motion blurr which means your shutter is too slow. i am surprised that they were shot at 100 to be honest, maybe try open the apperture setting (lower number) and increase the ISO settings (maybe go to 400) and then try at 1/100 sec shutter speed. i am sure you will get clearer shotsUpdate Time!!! (YAY!)
I have since changed my scaping with the advice of Anthony Calfo (Thanks Ant, was awesome meeting you)
I am in the process of having a light hood built for my new halides (Thanks Jevon)
So my total lighting will be:
2 x 150W MH running Venture 10 000K
2 X 54W 12 000K
2 X 54W Actinic
FTS
Sailfin
Chromis
Jumping Bean Angel
Bubble Coral
Zoa's
Candy Cane

Small update:
Beginning Dec I got a few zoas and a frag of blue button polyps from HotDog - I have been looking for them for ages so thanks so much dude!
I also bought a beautiful cup coral from IM. It is a greenish pink colour but I cant seem to get it on the camera.
Over the Dec holidays, I wasnt able to tend to the tank as i normally would everyday and as a result, my lime green monti digitata started to bleach and recede, luckily the other montis only had receded polyps. My LPS took quite a knock too. with barely any polyp extension showing. Corralline also receded bigtime
I did a large WC yesterday as well as dose some of Midasblennys brilliant calcium booster.
Today everything is doing much better with all the montis showing polyps. The LPS is back to normal.
Thankfully no losses!
Anyways, heres some pics for you guys:
(Havent got round to cleaning the front pane properly)

Some of my zoa collection:
Rasta Zoas - they are bleached, but slowly regaining colour

A few frags
and my lime green monti, definately looking the worse for wear
The colour on the BLV's is getting alot better - not looking so green/yellow anymore
I did a WC and things just looked nice so I whipped out the camera:
(excuse the greenish tint on some of the pics, havent quite got the white balance with the new globes)
My long awaited Blue Button Polyps
Tried from a different perspective (but the glass is dirty, so it ruined the shot)
