boxboy Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 your laptop is helping run you system? Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 What are these and how can i buy/trade for some off you? Socal said it! and the zippers need some time to grow before I frag em. the tangerines I could frag, I'm letting the system settle in before I do any cutting. Im currently looking for some scans, in a month or Id be willing to do a trade! Pink Zippers and Tangerines. yup your laptop is helping run you system? not really, I have a few excel programs I set up so i can graphs the results from the test, its actually pretty nice though, all i have to do is write down the drops of the reagents for the Mg, Ca, Alk and it gives me the ppm for them without having to do any of the math. It also nice to see a visual representation of the parameters over time. Im a research scientist and Im just used to keeping track of things this way There is also a calendar that set up for maintenance and what not Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 params now that everything is settled in: temp 79.2 pH 8.33 alk 201ppm Ca 350ppm Mg = 1250ppm NH4 0ppm NO3 0 ppm NO2 0 ppm PO4 = 0.1ppm I need to get the Ca and the Mg up a little, buts that because I didn't dose last week while the tank was settling. Now its back to business as usual Link to comment

Arkayology Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Those lights are pretty high. Why not put them lower and turn down the intensity? Nice pics too! Link to comment
ayobreezie Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Crazy ass setup. Dual sols. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I had this issue. Try getting the whites over the blues then control the colors in photoshop. You'll see sharper, more n focus shots yet u can control WB & colors in PSraw. Nice though! Lol Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Those lights are pretty high. Why not put them lower and turn down the intensity? Nice pics too! I thought they were too close to the tank when set it up after I got back, I thought Id try raising them higher too how it looked/ things reacted, we'll see how it goes I might get a smaller spacer Crazy ass setup. Dual sols. thanks! it seems to be working pretty well I had this issue. Try getting the whites over the blues then control the colors in photoshop. You'll see sharper, more n focus shots yet u can control WB & colors in PSraw. Nice though! Lol thanks ... yea I know there is more stuff I can do, to them, I'm still pretty new to the picture taking thing, one of these days (after grad school apps are turned in), I want to learn how to use PS Link to comment
