    Please Help I poisoned my system

    Maybe throwing carbon in your system will help absorb some of the toxins? Also, Phosguard might help with the phosphates...? Just an idea? Good luck.

    August 2010 POTM VOTING!

    How did my photo not even make it in? I don't understand as I was one of the first people to post my photo? This makes no sense at all? Must be Politics.

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    Correct. That iss my mistake. As for the chip sensor it is considerably larger, up to 25% larger in DSLRs v. p-N-s's. This allows DSLRs to capture all the color and variation that corals have to offer. (esspecially rainbow Acans....lol. You also, have much more control over your photos with...

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    The reason that your shots won't look like that is, because (and it gets pretty technical), but the simple and uncomplicated answer is. A point-n-shoot is not a DSLR. A DSLR camera gets great shots, because it has a completely different sensor in it. in the Canons they use what is called a...

    I would be more concerned with lighting. They definitely need MH or T5s

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    Nano... You can change that you just need to get a macro tube extension. It locks on to the body and then you lock the lens to the end of that. They are a little pricey about $150 - $300 depending upon the magnification, but they do have auto-focusing as well so your shots will end up crystal...

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    It depends upon the subject, distance and settings of what I am trying to shoot (Lighting, distance, depth of field...etc...). The Full Tank Shot - lens configuration was set up much different than the R/G-BTA setup. But let's say for example the BTA picture... The Macro filters are...

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    Thanks! I need followers! I just went to a friend's house today and shot his tank for him. As you can see some of his corals are utterly rediculous. I wish I could change my picture for the contest, as I just took a bunch of pictures today! Here is the one I wish I would have used for the...

    Soooo....what are you guys using for cameras?

    Ya, the 100mm L is rediculous. They are selling it on Adorama.com for $944.00 right now. Umm, to be honest, I went to amazon.com typed in Macro filters and bought them for $13.00!

    Windex

    +1... It has to do with the Ammonia in Windex, or other household glass cleaners... There is one that I have used for over 3 years and it works well and doesn't contain Ammonia. It's called Sprayway, they have it at Walmart and Target. It is great it is a foam type so you really don't get...

    Vortech MP20 problem...

    That is correct. The blinking red means that there is some type of connection error between the wet side and the dry side. Usually that it has indeed stopped spinning. I just took mine apart and cleaned it and it seems to work perfect. I have the MP40w, basically the same thing however.
