FriscoTX Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Looks good! I hope you have a nice drip loop in place, otherwise you'll fry more than your ballasts.... Link to comment
Darklyte24 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 ya, im adding a emerald crab, shrimp and prob 2 clown fish tomorrow if the shop has them all. i got some small bubble algae in there.. copepods swimming crawling everywhere too. Link to comment
mindaugas Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 think yer camera can pickup some of the copepods? Link to comment
Darklyte24 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 i dont have any macro lenses. it has a macro feature though. I have a digital rebel xt with a 18-200mm and a SD800 Link to comment
mindaugas Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 in my pics I use a crappy HP Photosmart M425 with the macro option on, I turn the ISO to 100 and the white balance all the way down. It seems to work pretty well. idk if it would catch copepods, I just wanted to see what they look like in a tank Link to comment
bubbles3660 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 tiny bubbles in my cube... Wasn't that a Don Ho song? Love the water reflection that your flash caused in the first shot. Looks like ocean horizon. Why not move the temp probe into chamber 3? Cleaner look. --bubbles Link to comment
Darklyte24 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 haha cool thanks, ya don ho or something like that, it was tiny bubbles in my wine though. I will prob move the probe thanks for the sug. I will take pics later tonight when i get off work and head to the LFS for some clowns and cuc. Link to comment
Darklyte24 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 clown, hermit, emerald crab, skunk cleaner shrimp. what corals should i get for stock lighting? Link to comment
sephroth_r1 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The reason all your params are so low is because you havent even started your cycle yet. It has only been 9 days! Some cycles can take from 1 month to even longer ive seen! I would caution you on adding anyting yet, as it will be detrimental to whatever you decide to add, and most likely kill it. DONT RUSH. in this game, rushing only leads to bad things. Link to comment
Darklyte24 Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 besides taking the fish back which i dont think they will do, what can I do? can i get some water from the shop and put the fish in that for the time being? Link to comment
mindaugas Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 tell the LFS u jumped the gun and ask if they can hold the fish for you while the tank completes the cycle. Link to comment

salt creepette Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 more pics again looks nice. want to pick your brain to see if you had the same problem with me when trying the mj900, did it suck air and shoot a bunch of bubbles into your tank? I tried using it and got that problem, went back to the stock pump but am not satisfied with flow... Link to comment
