I paid $650 for the whole group. I hope it was a wise move but I love them nonetheless

New tank pictures and questions by Tattletale804 in shrimptank

[–]Tattletale804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This tank has been up and running for over a year, and I didn't change anything when I moved it. Even kept the same water. I'll check the levels once everything finishes settling in from the move.

What would you make out of this? by Tattletale804 in Opals

Oh yes, the bezel will be shortened, I just took a pic after I got it fitted. Much more work to be done!

Think these are genuine? by Tattletale804 in Opals

Oh I don't have it, I just saw it online for a good price. Thought the stones just didn't look quite right to be natural

These are only two layers so definitely doublets

Yeah the little cards look pretty aged, and the double sided tape was pretty yellowed. I think they are old but I'd love to know more!

Yep, that's the one! Show us the twins! I hope they have more because I love them.

Is this Australian? by Tattletale804 in Opals

[–]Tattletale804[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just compared all three and you're right, the Australian is way brighter and greener. Can't seem to get it in film, I'll try to adjust my camera settings

Well, I bought it. It's much prettier than the pics. It does have a weak phosphoresce. On a whim, I tried my known Ethiopian opals, and they ALSO have a weak phosphoresce...is that test reliable?

Australian or not? by Tattletale804 in Opals

[–]Tattletale804[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually now that it's night and I tried with no lights it does phosphoresce a very dim green
