    Website Update 07/31/05 - New Corals in!

    Hi everyone!

    We just got in some real nice corals at great prices!

    Check our new arrivals section for everything we've posted today.

    New items include - Fiji Acroporas, Fiji Zoos, Fiji Tubinaria and Solomon Zoos to name a few. Get them while they last! We'll also be getting in more items this week. So check back again real soon.

    Thanks again for everyone's business!

    Hi Sean,

    I was looking at your new arrivals, and the acros look great! I have a question though, it looks like you use 20K lighting in the tanks right? And your camera, like most others really exaggerate the blue they "see" under 20K. Take a peak at these 2, one right off your site, the "after" is using Adobe's "auto color" function. Which is more accurate? I think the "after" looks better, and I hope it is more accurate, because the eggcrate is now white instead of blue, and the coral sure looks a nice green! Let me know if you need some help with photoshop, I'll be happy to lend a hand!

    Thanks Poseidon! I was able to get special picking as they came off the fiji plane before anyone else had the opportunity. I am using 3 14K MHs with 2 55w BLUE 03 PCs and it's really blue. I originally took pics with the flash, but didn't look good at all. So I took all the new arrivals (most of them) without flash and came out better (so I posted those). The second is by far more accurate, looks better than anything I have taken and is actually the way it looks in person. I have photoshop and will have to give it a try for those corals that need touch ups to get the actual real coloring where my camera is difficient. Mind you, I won't use photoshop to misrepresent the look of any coral - ever! I might take you up on your offer if I run into problems, I am not a photoshop expert! I do appreciate taking your time pointing out the differences.

    Thanks again. Sean.

    Anytime! just shoot me a PM and I'll send you an e-mail address where you can mail them, I'll "fix" it and send it right back! It takes very little time to do each picture, but I think it will help your customers choose what they want.
