divecj5 Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Wow Adam - you've been busy. I just got finished looking at the photos and they are great! I can't believe you're starting a 17g. Do tell more.... Will this be a new thread? Thanks for swinging by and trying to catchup on the thread. Definitely been busier than a one-armed paper hanger lately. Here is a link to the new thread....picking up the stand this afternoon - Greenleaf 17g Link to comment
steely185 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 How about some updated shots on this tank. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 How about some updated shots on this tank. Definitely. I'm getting a couple of replacement bulbs in this afternoon so I'll snag some updated shots. Not a whole lot of growth lately. More than likely replacing the sand bed next weekend since I think it's leaching phosphates. Link to comment

Rehype Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hey man any updates? This thread definitely needs a new FTS.. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hey man any updates? This thread definitely needs a new FTS.. I took a bunch of pictures this past weekend but I must have screwed with the settings as they were all too dark and WAY too blue. Hopefully I can snag some this evening after a water change. Overall, some things are doing well and others not so hot. Long-term, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to juggle keeping up with two tanks, especially one being SPS dominant. I may end up removing all but some of the SPS and getting a nice big fat RBTA for the clowns. I'm trying to keep more of a hands off approach instead of tinkering every time I see something not looking too hot. We'll see how that goes Link to comment

Its hard to avoid the urge to tinker or adjust things in the tank. The best things seem to happen when you just let it be..Well im looking forward to some pics. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 looked at your photography site...you do very nice work btw...aspen's a cutie! Thanks for the compliment on our work. You can check out/follow our blog if you have any interest....I'll let Aspen know of her compliment I totally agree with you man. Its hard to avoid the urge to tinker or adjust things in the tank. The best things seem to happen when you just let it be..Well im looking forward to some pics. I think it's one of the hardest things about this hobby. It's difficult to look at something and try and figure out whether it's been irritated, really not happy, or just having a bad day. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Still not 100% pleased with the way the pictures are turning out. These are all taken with 2 ATI Blue + and 1 ATI Aqua Blue Spezial. My Favorite Fuzzy FTS -Adam Link to comment

Deleted User 6 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 try fiddling with the in-camera exposure levels. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 try fiddling with the in-camera exposure levels. These were shot in Manual so all settings were done in-camera. I was just was rushed, didn't wait until the daylight bulbs cut on, and was stuck with my 50 1.8 since my wife had the other camera and the 17-40 that I usually use. With the 1.5x of the 40D and the focal distance of the 50mm is a couple of feet, I had to stand damn near across the room to get the FTS What did you do in-camera to adjust for your LEDs when you were running them? I thought you said you were having a hard time adjusting for the color temp as well. Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Mine was pretty much all in-camera exposure (I shot in AP mode) and then LR2 WB changes. But I wasn't shooting with my 50 1.8. Link to comment

Deleted User 6 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 yeah, manual's cool and all, but I'm past the point where I think I'm professional enough to make all my shots perfect, lol. Link to comment
