Dionaea Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Well, I finally got a digital camera of my own, a PowerShot G3. I love this camera. So, without further ado, here are some updated photos of my 2yr-old ten gallon. Details will follow tomorrow...

J-Bass Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 How much did the G3 cost you? Thanks. Link to comment
jdsabin1 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Beautiful tank and I am very interested to know and see more. A nano that is two years old is very nice to see and reassuring too. Link to comment

Dionaea Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 Sorry for the delay getting back. Thanks for the generous compliments. Here are the specs I promised: Hardware: -10g All-Glass aquarium -CSL 2x40W PC w/MoonLite -EcoSystem 40 Refugium (Live Sand) -Jalli 9W (or 13W, depending on the bulbs I find) over refugium -Ebo-Jager 50W heater -Hagen Jumbo thermometer -Pinpoint pH monitor, which needs to be calibrated- right now, it says -2.65 Livestock: -20ish lbs Fiji Live rock -Carib Sea Aragamax sand bed (seeded with the old AragAlive when it only came in crushed coral, which has been siphoned out as it rose to the surface) -Teacup caulerpa (refugium) -Peppermint shrimp (refugium) Fish- -Ocellaris clown -Yellow Neon Goby -Black-ray shrimp goby Coral- -Green/Purple Acropora -Elkhorn Montipora -Orange Montipora -Neon Green Tree Coral -Briareum -3 types of Zoanthids -Green Trachyphyllia -Blue Green Favia -Mushroom Leather -Purple Mushrooms -Baby Blue Candy Coral -Red Sea Xenia -Red Cactus Coral Inverts- -Derasa Clam -1 Lrg Feather Duster -80,000,000 small Feather Dusters (approx.) -Blue-leg Hermits -Scarlet Hermits -Serpent Star (the first invert I had 2 years ago) -Nassarius/Cerith/Bumblebee snails -One big Red Foot snail -Pygmy Starfish (about 1/2") I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. The tank as it looks in the photo is actually dirty. All of the glass gets a good cleaning weekly, and the tank gets a 6g water change. I mix DI water with Instant Ocean to 1.024SG, and raise Ca with Turbo Calcium by Kent. The Alk is usually OK when I mix it. I let it sit overnight with a Maxi-Jet 1200 and an Ebo-Jager heater set at 80deg F. I feed 1/2" cube of Brine Shrimp enriched with either Vita-Chem or Selcon to the fish daily. I feed Reef Solution, DTs, and Golden Pearls occasionally (each about 1x/week). Also, I sometimes break up an Algae Wafer and throw it in. Ca is kept at 430, Alk at 3.2 meq/L; pH goes from 7.7 at night to 8.3 by lights out. Photoperiod is: 40W Actinic: 8AM to 10PM 40W 10000K: 9AM to 9PM 9W 6500K (refugium): 8:55PM to 9:05AM 1W MoonLite: 9:55PM to 8:05AM The only circulation is a Rio 600 as the return pump. Whew! Let me know if I left out anything you'd like to know! Thanks, James Link to comment
Dionaea Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 J-Bass: I got the G3 from BeachCamera.com for $469.00 last week. I sprung for 2nd day air ($29.95). The total was $498.95. I ordered it Tuesday and had it Thursday by 1PM. I was pleased. I also ordered a 256MB SanDisk Ultra CF card to go with it from B&H (bhphotovideo.com) with the same awesome results. For that, I paid $69.95+14.50s&h=$84.45. It has a faster advertised write speed (2.8MB/sec) than I found with other brands in a similar price range. -James Link to comment
T?@7 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Nice! I like the moonlight pic, looks real Link to comment
Dionaea Posted September 22, 2003 Author Share Posted September 22, 2003 I had to take some of the photos down and resize them for the web. I have put together a little photo gallery that includes shots from my tank, if you're interested. Here's the link. There are other shots from my G3 there, as well. Thanks, James Link to comment
