davinaster Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Did you get your tripod and take this pic before or after the TOTM gauntlet was tossed? lol Your tank is beautiful, and this picture is simply mah-volous (for some reason, I seem to be pulling out old SNL tonight - wow, that dates me!).

Tigahboy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Haha. I took that w/ my sony digi cam. which now my gf has taken as her own. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 I bought the camera before the TOTM thread. I just wanted to capture more details. Tripod, I also wanted to get, but just didn't have the motivation to take proactive steps to find one. The TOTM thread was a partial incentive to get a little more motivated. But me cleaning the salt creep that was trapped between the tank back and the background sheet....that was completely motivated by the TOTM thread. haha. Link to comment
davinaster Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 Well, it looks amazing - the tank and photo are professional quality. I've been thinking that it's time to recruit you for an online tutorial on close up shots of our critters. Now that your pictures have actually improved... Link to comment
gavin123 Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 great tank. what are you dosing to keep those calcium/alk levels up? gavin Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Haha...thanks. But no need for me to reinvent the wheel. There is already a great website that basically taught me everything I know (still a lot more to learn) about reef photography. Uchiha recommended the site to me, and it's been a great resource: http://www.ximinasphotography.com/lessons/index.html just skip to #6 "Techniques" lots of good stuff there on photographing your reef w/ digicam. hope it helps!

ccjung Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 I think that tripod is a tad short, and the camera a tad old.. Those pile of rocks you take pictures of are looking OK... Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Originally posted by gavin123 great tank. what are you dosing to keep those calcium/alk levels up? gavin Thanks dude. twice a week I dose Seachem brand Reef Plus, Reef Carbonate, and Reef Complete in succession (15 minutes between adding each)...and my calcium stays at 430ppm. I'm gonna get a calcium reactor soon tho. Much easier and more stable. Link to comment
ReefMonkeee Posted January 11, 2005 Share Posted January 11, 2005 tigahboy you should get in on the group buy at reef creation on RC then. Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted January 11, 2005 Author Share Posted January 11, 2005 Originally posted by vibe oops. haha. sorry. juggling 3 things at once here.

And they sell em at marinedepot.com for $279 (no tax and no shipping added) for a complete bulb-pendant-ballast-mounting kit package...just plug n play. and thanks for the compliment, vibe!
