[yellowtang]

rgds,

[Eniram]

Amazing shots. Care to share your tips on maintaining your zoas and how to make them propagate.

[LaW]

Like all SPS colour.

How i wish that is in my tank.

Thanks for the kind words Ben.

The coral is wow.

Thank you very much mengyang_neo.

Wow, your zoas collection is insane!! And those zoas colors are really stunning. Very beautiful corals you have.

Hi Underwater,

Thank you for the kind words.

[LaW]

Got frag? Lol

how many you want Fred? but must wait long long. im already on back log on a number of people on frag exchange. now need to wait for most to recover.

[LaW]

Not reefing or photographing skill, is software editing skill lah. Hehehe... Saw the corals last few days, very tempted to keep corals.

yeah la yeah la, whatever you said its true. don't forget about what i want from you.

Must come back to LPS tank one day, what fish did you buy at Irwanna that day

He better don't keep LPS or whatsoever, or else it will be food for his angels.

[LaW]

wow bro.. your photography skills is amazing...

love your zoas... :wub:

Thank you kiko for the kind words. I'm actually still a noob in those.

LaW, are sny of these zoas from the latest GO shipment ?

rgds,

Hi yellowtang,

post #575 and #577 are bought from GO on the same day. But only #577 is from GO latest shipment and #575 from the left over of previous shipment. Quite surprise that its not taken for its potential.

[LaW]

Bro, seem like your reefing & photography skills has improve tremendously .. Can teach me or not, how to take those close up shot ? Are you using a micro lens or ?

Hi Larry,

Thanks Larry, no man stay at a stagnant level throughout, will need to constantly find a way up. thank you for giving marks on me for those.

for close up shot, you will need a micro lens. for corals' small details, i recommend at least a 100-105mm. Best to have vibration reduction or image stabliser those type, i don't remember what sony calls theirs but its also similar in name. Expensive but it helps alot. im constantly dreaming about owning a Nikon 105mm F2.8 VR . that lens is good.

and from there, you can crop a portion of pic out to see more details, provided that your pic is sharp and your hands are steady.

can show you more if possible, see if i will be back on time this weekend and talk more about it during our "shopping". or simply drop by my place anytime, i can drop by your place too.

^ +1

Also, what is your husbandry regime bro?

Fantastic corals you got there! haha (:

Hi Marc,

I didn't follow any regime. Just change water when i felt like, dozed additives and coral food when I remember. But i do know zoas like high light to propagate and good flow to stay alive.

Thanks for the kind words.

nice zoas collection u got ther bro....cool.......

Thanks cool fella,

really sorry i didn't help you on the previous time on the lineatus. was busy those days.

omg the zoas.

too bad my new tank will be zoaless. otherwise will love to get some from u

Hi Kai,

your fishes will be good enough to replace the zoa's worth.

Law, thumbs up for ur photography skills. Reef keeping and photography are really like red wine and red meat.

Hey Em,

thats my line , get your tank up and good and you can shot with ur D90. Remember not to lose/dirty my camera's condom. I like that a lot.

if not, i will skin you.

Amazing shots. Care to share your tips on maintaining your zoas and how to make them propagate.

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks. like what I told MarcoVan, i don't follow strictly on a regime. if want your zoas to do well, give them light. if you want them to survive, give them flow.

amount of light affects coloring as well as growth. sometime you can't have the both of it and need to sacrifice one. i normally choose growth over coloring and then shift it down after i am "satisfy"

but thats still my opinion based on my experience, no hard scienfific proof.

will talk more about it next time. till then,

[MOssrope]

scary looking pictures!

you really bring out the best in them.

what country was the pictures taken in btw? for those overseas pictures.

[Emmanuel]

Sure law .. I'll make sure I leave no stain on ur condom .. I can't believe we can actually share condom

..

Lol

Hi KY,

Thanks for the kind words. The details as follows.

Taken from a plane from Shangrila to Kunming.

Sunrise taken along strait of malacca from my balcony on a cruise.

Random shot in the evening along strait of malacca as well but on deck.

Dali's landmark. Home of the white clan. Dali, Yunan, China.

Up in some mountains in Lijiang

Taken in Bai Yun Shan, Guangzhou.

[LaW]

some more:

Dino valley.

That fella is huge. i need to pull out my ultra-ultra wide to fit this fella in. Pardon the lens shadow effect.

untouch yet.

Can't remember the name of the place but it is in Lijiang. Think is Jade Dragon Snow Moutain.

Same moutain:

Show name: Impression of Lijiang. NICE. There's a picture similar to this that is the 1st prize in silkair tour photography competition recently. trying to mimick it but can't.

A child begging for money and at the same time doing homework. This picture aches me, i gave him some money in the end. Some people just walk/step across the "notice paper", all the kid can do was only to wipe away the trails left behind. Kunming, China

I got more if you are interested. Can post as well.

[LaW]

Sure law .. I'll make sure I leave no stain on ur condom .. I can't believe we can actually share condom

..

Lol

... you sound really sick. you can get your very own condom for your camera.

Awesome corals and photos, as usual! Looking forward to visiting you soon! I'm down and out with a ear infection since wed, so traveling will be difficult. Will keep you posted!

[MarcoVan]

Well I am already running a 250W MH. Perhaps shall add one more unit to the current setup. haha and see everything sprouts or not. anyway when can I drop by to see your tank?

I realise knowing you for so long I have not actually seen your tank! :X ahaha

Hi Zen,

I doze Lugol's mostly. Sometime Kent's marine strontium on occasion. Used to doze VitC but stopped for more than 6 months already. Dozed Kent's marine chromamax and Zeovit's Coral Vitaliser when I remember.

thats all for now.

yeah, do drop by if you free or so. but let me know sometime in advance to arrange.

just stick with one MH and see how. dun need to rush.

and hope you have already walked out from nightmares.

[w3ish3ng]

For Lugol's solution, I doze as according to the direction but not every day. Only a couple of days I doze if i remember. Brand I used is Tropic Marine and Kent's.

How big is your tank? Pasar malam selling cheap MH 250W. Go check out Milch_tan thread.

no problem for being concern for a friend.

Wow those photo are taken very nice and also your corals looks nice

Hi Klyve,

Thank you. Your red corals never fail to amaze me too.

[LaW]

Thoose zoa and sps are

Hi Jack,

Hi yooyoo99,

thank you for the kind words. do take out your camera and start shooting soon. *Hint: spent more on buying more corals for your tank to be your model*

[Eniram]

Law the picture of the ladies carrying those huge basket...are they real or just 1:10 model size? If they are human my goodness those are bloody heavy basket of tea leaves i assume!!!

I think i need to be a Chiropractor and fix their backs!
