Miguel Burguete Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 Don't over complicate it. In the end it's only light and money lol I have thought about adding one or two more bulbs. The problem with LEDs is the price of them here in Portugal. You guys have a lot of nice prices for led strips. In this fixture I can add one more bulb easy. If we look at the portion of Watt per gallon I have more than you in your new tank! So do you think I is worth to add two more bulbs? Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 If its that easy for you to add 1-2 more bulbs,I'd just do that and call it a day. You'll have more than enough light over yout tank. And the whole watts per gallon,eh. How,he has I believe either the 4 or 6 bulb ATI fixture. With led's you cany really do watts per gallon,that rule kinda go out the window lol. Link to comment

And his display is way bigger than mine! I may start adding one more B+ and If needed the other C+. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Stay with the T5... the cool thing about adding one extra bulb is being able to explore new bulb combinations, albeit, 3 bulb combos are rare and usually its 4, 6, and 8 etc.... But this way you could do the Coral+ Blue+ then add an Actinic+ and really get some nice pop! Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 FTS Update Nothing new just trying to improve my photo skills but still far from what I wanted. Any tips for canon EOS? I wanted to bring more the real colours! http://postimg.org/image/e205ukjgp/full/'> Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Maybe it's because I'm on my phone but perhaps a bump in exposure, seems a tad dark. Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Shooting in RAW mode and using photoshop lightroom to edit will help with any color or white balance issues. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Are you using a polarizer? Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 Shooting in RAW mode and using photoshop lightroom to edit will help with any color or white balance issues. Thanks. I do not have FS but maybe I will! Are you using a polarizer? Nop! Just the camera with an 18mm-55mm. Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 It's still very dark and I cant bring up the true colours: http://postimg.org/image/jhfv8v73z/full/'> Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Regardless of it being dark,it looks really really good. Can't go wrong with eagle eyes and radioactives !! Love the red shroom in the background. Link to comment

Love the red shroom in the background. Thanks!! But sometime it is quite frustrating to cannot show to others what you really sea! I believe that more people would enjoy this pico with better photos.

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Use the exposure compensation... Will slightly increase the brightness... Link to comment
VABumpkin Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I know what you mean. It is annoying when your tank looks different or more drab online than in real life. You can download a free trial for lightroom if you just want to try it. Link to comment

RK_tek Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Your tank looks amazing. The minimal rockwork makes it appear much larger than it is. Link to comment
