DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I'll have to pull her sd card and take the pics of the frogs off to show you. I ended up taking off auto and using it, it looked much better than auto focus. 1 Quote Link to comment

I should start messing with my wifes Nikon d3300. I have messed with it taking some red eye tree frog pics. Never tried taking pics of the fish tank though. To be honest. Taking pictures or video of reef aquarium is very challenging. It's all about getting the white balance right. LEDs are great for human eye but probably the worst light for taking pictures or video. Just practice. Benefits of digital photography is unlimited rolls of film at your disposal so snap away and it might become another expensive hobby. Lol 2 Quote Link to comment

I'm gonna try and grab the pics off her sd card tonight. They aren't of fish, but my frogs are badass. I'll post em up in my journal later tonight if I remember after I get out of work tonight.

There are many great sources for background music for videos but I like to use library from “Epic Background Music for Videos”. This particular cut is from vol.3. Quote Link to comment

A Little Blue Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Due to filtration limitations, algae reactor will get installed over next few weeks. Also, I’ve heard about UV filter from EU and I’ll be testing that soon as well. More info soon. Meantime, sundown over Little Blue Reef. Enjoy🤞 4 Quote Link to comment

A Little Blue Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Arriving tomorrow (hopefully). First order ever from Tidal Gardens. Than Thein (owner) seems like a nice guy. He's building new facility so here is my little contribution to the cause. Great youtube content, superior quality, in depth coral portfolios, tech talk and more. One of my favorite channels on the Tube. Almost forgot about this guy 3 Quote Link to comment

Not particularly worrying about anything specific. I’m sure all will be fine. Was going to order something different from them for 2.5gal tank but I’ve changed my mind. Felt a bit guilty about it (emailing them back and forward with BS Qs and all) so I decided to help out a bit by participating in their live sales. Wished I could make it to their annual BBQ event and check out TG new facility but work gets in the way and I’m slowly running out of the extra time off. 1 Quote Link to comment

A Little Blue Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 Swapped that long vid above with a shorter version. Took few pics of new frags and UV sterilizer. Orange frag rack throws off this weird yellowish color cast. Frags might not be 100% happy but they’re almost there.
