Figure everyone else is making videos I should make a quick one.

 

Small update.

  • Adding RW-4 this week for more flow
  • Polyp Booster - Amazing stuff
  • Coral Color - Best Aminos I have used ( more on this later )
  • Reef Roids - Going to a 1/4 teaspoon once a week. Easily can be over dosed but coral response has been incredible.

 

Enjoy!

Well you should get your kick back from polylab this week. Read this last week and immediately ordered reef roids and polyp booster :). Do you just do both once a week or are you doing polyp booster more often? I noticed some serious response to both!

Ha! Make sure to tell them that. I dose polyp booster daily ( three drops ) and the roids once a week.

Thanks! I am excited to. I love the IM series and seriously looking at setting up a SR series.

Can't wait to see that fusion 10!
The lagoon looks beautiful Dave!

Dave what are your settings on the lights for your pictures? I can't quite get the balance between blue and white perfect so the fluorescent colors pop but it doesn't look like Windex.

Yep, that is my buddy. I have had it for years and love it. I almost pulled the trigger on a new one last night.

What a huge clam!

 

Thank you!

Sweet tank, can't wait to see that SPS Rock grow out.

Awesome job man.

 

So I set my white balance for ~4400K using a grey card. With you camera on...

  • Select slider mode in BF.
  • With your blue settings leave them where they are.
  • Gradually adjust your white channel until things look like they should. Generally for me I have it set ~ 60% when the blues are 80% or so.
    • Your tank will look weird to your eyes but normal on the camera sensor
  • Save this setting for photo mode.

thanks for the advice Dave! I will try this and see if I can borrow my stepdads camera as he was a professional photographer so he has all the gear needed. Hopefully I can take some good pictures and upload them this weekend or something.

You can over dose reef roids? I use about a teaspoon a day haha. No ill affects. Coral seems to like it I guess. Haven't noticed a difference but I've been using it since I set the tank up.

Like anything else over feeding can lead to weird stuff. Also only being ~20g of water and an AIO I dont have the best skimmer in there. ;)

whats the diff between polyp booster and coral color??

The colors is a true amino acid and the booster is a weird coral sludge.
