If you don`t have patience you will learn all about it, or you will fail as a reef keeper. That`s really how simple it is. Alex is of the patient kind, I can already tell. We`ll be seeing a lot more of it. I should have mentioned his tank I linked to is 6' long.<BR/>Now I have to see if I have a fish that will not look like a fish, to try & fool you.

I just finished installing the lights in this tank. Now with monitoring & water changes the tank is cycling through its bio chemical phases & will soon be ready to transfer more & more of Alex`s specimens from an older smaller tank. I`ll be updating images from this tank periodically. <BR/><A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/9965803@N07/1083495089/" REL="nofollow">Alex`s new tank</A>Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-8464917123020648222007-08-11T09:46:00.000-07:002007-08-11T09:46:00.000-07:00Andif,"Wow Fella", is that like "Hey Sailor"?Thank...Andif,<BR/>"Wow Fella", is that like "Hey Sailor"?<BR/>Thank you Andif. <BR/>An interesting exercise, is to describe an image to some one without them having seen it. You can take as much time as you want in describing it. People are always surprised at having pictured it so differently. Not because you didn`t describe it right, but because many images are beyond that. That`s why we shoot them. It`s like the shots of your vacation. How can you describe them? <BR/>Then you have Olivia, who is no help at all, throwing stuff in the mix like "risque bouquet".Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-43148861308331807532007-08-11T09:36:00.000-07:002007-08-11T09:36:00.000-07:00Olivia, there you go rhyming again.I believe most ...Olivia, there you go rhyming again.<BR/>I believe most people would not even try to shoot this subject. The tank this anemone is in, is severely scratched. It`s a 50 gallon tank, although I`m helping him set up a new 150gallon one. I`ll link to a shot in a liitle bit. The front tank panel creates the misty look in the images of this series. This is not detrimental to the inhabitants in any way, but it sure makes it difficult to shoot. Even from one inch away, the sensors will pick up the scratches to focus on. These shots are taken right through the imperfections. If you think these are nice, & I do, they possibly would knock you over with a clear window to them. The tank transfer will be done in about ten days, so there will be more coming.<BR/>Have a nice weekend.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733105237141682139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55892249698893833.post-69379939908127920282007-08-11T09:26:00.000-07:002007-08-11T09:26:00.000-07:00Good Morning FM,I`d estimate the distance at 75 ya...Good Morning FM,<BR/>I`d estimate the distance at 75 yards.
