nice pics, how did u get such close up clear shots?

TCU Reefer 01/21/2006 11:05 PM

What kind of camera and lens are you using? Those are amazing.

mummra100769 01/22/2006 02:51 AM

wow...thanx guys high praise indeed. some camera specs now follow.

camera-Fuji s602 zoom
3.1 mp with some simple magnifying lenses that screw onto an adapter.no underwater casing just clean glass and a good macro setting. this camera is a few years old but still works well and at a couple of hundred bucks it's well worth it.

a couple more shots.

bigevill 01/22/2006 10:48 AM

can I ask what you paid for those? My LFS is selling colonys of around 20-30 polyps for around $450.

mummra100769 01/22/2006 11:18 AM

well i will say that back east they are way more than out here on the west coast.

TCU Reefer 01/22/2006 11:43 AM

Geez, I need a new camera!

mummra100769 01/22/2006 12:57 PM

my camera is like 3-4 years old. you just have to get to know your camer and what it can do.

peterlin98 01/22/2006 03:40 PM

mummra100769 - awesome pictures and Acans !! Can you share how you keep these Acan happy? My LFS said that they are feeding Acan 3 times a week, in low flow, and low light condition.

mummra100769 01/22/2006 05:03 PM

high flow but all indirect...i run 2x250w MH and 3 VHO on my 37 gal cube. i also rarely feed mine.

zukihara 01/23/2006 10:27 AM

Very, very nice. Borderline exquisite!

tangey 01/23/2006 06:20 PM

nice

Rjukan 01/24/2006 08:48 AM

i used to call him a lobo but then he fell on my lobo and tore him up. i am locking him down with epoxy tonight as he is too dangerous.
