Thanks for the compliments :) have you got some nice flow going over them and feeding the tank plenty?

Lovely. Whats the feeding regime of the tank @Wrangy ?

Well, three times a day the fish get a good pinch of dry which is a mix of the following:
- NLS pellets, flake and algaemax
- Ocean Nutrition marine mix 1 and 2 in the smallest pellet size
- ELOS sm2 pellets

Then depending on how frequently I'm home they get a cube (or three depending on the mix I feel like feeding lol) of frozen mixed with 5-6 drops of vitachem and a but of nor mixed through.

I also add acropower (~10ml a week) and Coral vitalizer (3-4 drops once a week or two) and I've started some phols Xtra (2 drops) once a week too now.

I think that's everything :) oh and once every couple of months I give the sump a stir at night to put some floating goodies into the tank lol

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO I always make an effort to have perfectly titled threads!! My efforts have gone to waste haha

looking incredible Dom, nice work!

Cheers Sam :)

[dimitri]

what settings do you use on the camera & lights to get such vibrant/non blurry pictures?

 

[Savage Henry]

Very nice.

Do you glue the zoas onto the frag or do they self attach?

 

[potatocouch]

That is some porno

 

[potatocouch]

@Wrangy i want some zoa like yours Dom ... where did you source the frags from? Fragalicious ?

Exotic Aquaculture got some but they are sold out/grown out.

 

[ajkdark]

Curious to know as well.

haha this is only 8 pictures of at least 30 :p It's mostly about white balance to get the colours correct and then I use a few different settings here and there to get the focus and sharpness set but I'll go through those tomorrow night in depth for you :)

Very nice.

Always glue down first, then you won't lose anything haha

All over the place Fragalicious and EAA are both AMAZING but as with anything that's beautiful in this hobby you have to be bloody fast!! EAA did a release last night and I think most things sold within an hour or two! Make sure you follow on FB so you know when things are happening. I make sure I have notifications turned on for all the pages I like so I know exactly when and they show first on my news feed!
