cruzH20polo Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Thanks a lot Honestly the YWG is MIA, I havent seen him since the morning after I put him in I Havent seen him eat, I havent seen a body ( I put a lid on the tank so no carpet surfing), I've checked the sump, He is just no where to be found In other news, I mounted the powerbrites in front of T5's instead of behind, and I like it a lot better! Im starting to make a dent in the bryopsis problem slowly raising the Mg level its at 1400 ppm currently, and Im seeing more die off/less grow back after I remove it. Im still a little perplexed on where it came from, but im slowly getting rid of it I still don't feel satisfied with the scape ... I might add some more LR iono thought I like the simplicity of less rock... but tank how it is, is not doing it for me. Im not to sure what I am gonna do so Im open for suggestions Link to comment
automatik_33 Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 I sort of noticed the same kind of reaction from my ywg after I just made the move. He seems a bit more timid and shy. I still see him eating and just being him but he is not as active yet. As for changing up your scape I think it looks great with the branch! Not that I know to much about scaping but I could perhaps see a inclining mountain along the back of the tank with the branch up front. I'm sure you will find something that you're very happy with.

Great news about the bryospis.

But seriously sorry to hear bout the accident, but glad to hear that you are doing ok. haha i can see why wow that sucks man, hope u bounce back. i bounced up right after the crash took 3 steps and feel again because I didn't realize i broke my foot Anything new here?

boosted chemist Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 how you get decent pics under leds? mine always seem washed out no matter waht ido Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 I use the white balance setting and set it using all of the lights without the LEDs, then turn off the lights, and turn the LEDs on, from there I adjust the shutter speed until the color I see on the display is the color I see on the coral and turn off the pumps and use a tripod, I didn't for this ^^^ picture, but I usually do also the way I got the best color initally was top down shots, my ealier pics that I had the best color in were top down. That was before I discovered shutter speed and white balance, read your manual it helped a lot, there's also a picture tutorial on here that is pretty awesome that lead me in the right direction with my camera Link to comment
