  1. I can set my camera to increase saturation' date=' contrast, and sharpness to get the look out of the lens without editing software. I could technically state I had not altered the picture.

     

     

    That is exactly what I am talking about, and for a seller to do that is flat out wrong. (flame)

    I'm not being technical-I understand cropping is altering-that was not my point.DOH!

    Its the deceptive SOB that knows what they are doing is wrong, they jack up the contrast to the point that the coral is popping with vibrancy.(nono)

     

    So you are techniclly getting a "WYSIWYG" because you got the coral pictured, what is not mentioned is "I doctor my photos so that the coral looks better than it actually is. I find this drives up my prices-Happy bidding!!"

     

    So everybodys on the same page, its wrong

     

    I agree-(scratch)

  2. Just curious if I am just overly anal or suffer from a case of "Richard Craniumism"

     

    If you found out a seller Photoshops their stuff they sell, "boosts" up the contrast or just alters the photo-(nono), how would that make you feel once you found out he/she did that-(flame)

     

    Granted you don't have to buy from them anymore, but what of all the people that don't know, and if they did, would not buy from that seller.

     

    Curious

  3. I think Isaac is "AFK", I emailed him looking for a specific chalice last week and no reply-I figured he would reply being it would have been a 300.00 dollar sale-(laugh)

     

    I vote for the "oversaturated" photo as well. I honestly wish people who doctor their photos would have a major tank crash and lose everything they own-:eek: How's that for Karma

    Glad I held back on that one-

     

     

    If these get found and MissDeffiance would want to "go in a frag" PM me, or anyone for that matter, I am sure they are spendy-;)

  4. What happened...I saw a pic before. I can't really tell you. I had zoa's growing on my pink birdsnest for quite some time and the BN continued to grow and do fine.

     

    Kinda funny though, I too am going to embark on a battle tonight between corals. Of course I will be doing the attacking but it should be interesting as far as what happens. Gonna try the "magic eraser" theory on some of my zoa's.

     

    Never heard of the magic eraser-I use the "magic scapel" works everytime!!

     

    I deleted a few unrelated pics from Photobucket, it must have reallocated addresses???

     

    I have NFI-:eek:

  5. So I have some zoos creeping toward my birdsnest and another acro, any input as to who will win the upcoming battle?

     

    I found out who wins between a milli (blue) and a monti (rainbow)-poor monti-(laugh)

     

    Anyway I heard the zoo may win on the acro but any input is appreciated.

     

    Sorry for "no" pic I messed up my photobucket pic

  6. I was not even talking about noise-(laugh)

     

    Odd thing is Marine Depot's reviews are all 5 stars but a few. I have spoke to many who have used them, carried them (as a LFS) and its the same concensus

     

    I still have the Remora HOB I use on a frag tank-It sucks-(laugh) but I bought it because of all the positive reviews-dumb mistake

  7.  

    Look at chllers, you will see what tank size they are rated for and they will also say what GPH they will require. I am pushing 400GPH through mine, have not heard of the "slow as possible" I suppose it all depends on the chiller

     

    I had to send my chiller back as it quite working, I was using a MJ1200 which pushed the water less than what was required-they still covered it under the warranty but if the manufacturer recommends "x" for using a product they produce I have to assume they know what is best.

     

    Not being defensive so dont mis read but every one has opinions and maybe the guys at nano reef have some idea of what is going on, but they aint the manufacturer-(laugh)

     

    Here is the brand I have, you can see what they recommend;

    Good luck Eric

  8. I'ld start by drilling the bottom of the tank with 2 holes, one for the return and one for the down pipe, and then build yourself a hidden..........................

     

    Oh you already drilled-never mind-LOL

     

    Just had to do-

     

    Roy has good advise

  9. I've used Marine Lands but not anymore as it is white.

     

    D&D makes a pretty good one

     

    But two little fishies aqua stik is best-IMO, plus it is red

     

    I had to move some rock work I had epoxied, I tried to seperate it where I had joined w/ the epoxy, well the epoxy did not give way the rock broke in a fresh place not where it had been joined-

    Beat that.

     

    People can skimp but I dont care for a piece of LR tumbling and cracking my glass or breaking a SP colony of Oregon Tort-LOL

     

    Good luck

  10. My chiller is a 1/10hp and requires a 265-500gph flow through it. I have the pump that runs that in my sump.

    With all my pumps and lights etc. my chiller is running off and on all day and even at night when the lights are off my tank never dips low enough for my heater to even kick on., which is how its set, heater kicks on below 76, chiller kicks on above 78.

     

    My Chiller is set at 79 so my tank never gets above 78, average is 77.7.

     

    Look at chllers, you will see what tank size they are rated for and they will also say what GPH they will require. I am pushing 400GPH through mine, have not heard of the "slow as possible" I suppose it all depends on the chiller

  11. Are you looking to buy or trade? I have Oregon Mummy Eye' date=' Blueberry chalice, Tubb's Alien Eye all with lineage. All nice size pieces were fragged 11 months ago. I will only let them go for exotic corals or a good price.[/quote']

  12. I'm in need of a maxi-jet 1000. If you have an extra please let me know what you want for it.

    Thanks in advance.

     

    I have 2 brand new 900's -(thats untrue, I used them for about 30 seconds in my tank, and then bought two MP20's) if either would work 10.00

    LMK

  13. Not so much the lineage as that helps, its just that most chalices I see that show any lineage/well known name are some of the nicest brightest coolest chalices I have seen.

     

    I guess I am looking for those with sick colors and that typically sell for a crazy amount per eye-at those dollars I need "popage"-(laugh)

     

    Here is a great thread-TEC represents well there-nice stuff

     

    I have seen some very nice aspera chalices, any chance yours looks like this;
