New pictures!

Nice stuff Mike, I do seem to have a recollection of a couple of them. Make sure you keep them growing, I may need your assistance in the future here!!

Anytime Charlie... We'll just have to ship in a smaller box! LOL!

We may have to try that new thermos theory.

This new pictures are awesome, Mike. And I like your new frames alot, you just can;t beat plain black in the outer frame(canvas), it sets everything off perfectly. I just wish those were a bit larger in size( pictures), you know me...I;m getting old and blind.

Thanks Gene! Actually that frame is by accident, it is the same action as the one I usually use, but for some reason when I run a batch action, the matte becomes much smaller... I haven't figured that out!

I can certainly send you some BIGGER ones if you like! ;)

Great job, Mike!

I liked all of the pictures and corals.

Thanks Gene, I think I underexposed these to much... Usually I do a stop or 1.5, this was under by 2, and it is to dark... I do like the images anyway though....

They look great, I think I actually recognize a couple of them. You are getting some great growth there my friend!!!

[Poseidon]

Thanks Charlie... Did you see the other thread with the Blue Milli?

Hey Charlie!

[charlie]

Not until you pointed me there.

Well, lets not get too critical. I personally like pictures that are slightly underexposed, it hurts my eyes to look at all those colors when exposed properly...
Seriously, though, you are right and some of them are a tad too dark but I like them. They all have great composition and tack sharp.

On a side note, you have to kill one of the pests next to that blue millie, it looks like it's posed to do some damage in the near future.

Yup, you are correct Gene, those DA&* Aiptasia are a real PITA! I have one in the tank that is almost 2 INCHES across, and it is in a place that I can't get to without major demolition. I tried to add 5 Peppermint shrimp, they dissappeared into the rocks, never to be seen again....

I want to try another Copperband, but I am gun shy on them, if I could find another Auriga Butterfly, that would be my first choice. I have had my fill of the "Joe's Juice" and Kalk Paste, and Lemon Juice, and Vinegar, and Boiling water, and etc etc....

I really need to find some NaOH... That is going to be my last resort!
