dude those rics on the first pic are sweet (the ones on the bottom left of the pic) got any frags? That leather is very cool looking as well. All your corals look great where are you buying them from? Jeff's, Reef Collections, Tongs?

[joe_bui]

Thanks man,

I'm waiting for those rics to produce babies or split...I will sell the frags then. I will have a macro shot of just them today. I get most of my corals from Reef Collection. They are having a serious sale right now. They are remodeling so they want to liquidate everything in their store. Well worth the drive north. What are you looking for? They have whole colonies or orange yumas (6-9 heads) for $85. Singles are going for $15. Hey, I sound like a commercial...those *******s should give me a discount!

get a tripod! You'll be sooo much hapier, but nice pics! Sometimes i wish my camera had a macro mode.. alas i need to spend 500 on a lens.

[joe_bui]

Yeah, I know I need a tripod...but not too bad for my first time out with the macro, huh? :D Think I'm gonna get the macro lens too (Nikon Coolpix 5000)

[elgordoinavw]

thats it you must sell me those rics so yu can buy the lens and take macro shots of where your ric once were =)

[REEFWAVE]

the coolpix macro mode is pretty awsome on its own, i have the 4300 and have never had a problem of not being able to get close enough. use the timer if you dont have a tripod, usually just pushing the button is what blurrs mine. with the timer mine come out good enough for me anyways.
beautiful corals as well. i have never been up to reef collection, but i may just have to aftere seeing corals like that......lol

Hey Chris,

GREAT idea. I will try the timer to see if it improves things. I'm at reef collection all the time. Let me know what you are looking for and I'll get them to hold it for you. This goes out to the rest of your SD reefers as well.
