180 The Simple Way

Ah...eye candy as always! Your 180 looks like it's coming along nicely! I especially like the LPS mountain! Sorry about your light cracking. We had problems with our bulbs also but, they were right on it to replace our bulbs. Looking forward to seeing how the new ones will look.

Just a little update... board has kep me busy the last couple of weeks and I've kept my grubby hands out of the tank. Which is a good thing!

No new additions, no new anything... nice...and...slow...

must...resist!

The hair algae is definitely waning. Foxface is working the bryopsis pretty good. Zos are EXTREMELY happy under the 14K hamilton's, but my hystrix isn't coloring up as quickly as I'd hoped.

That's it. Sorry, no pics this time.

edit: Oh, yeah. with the 14K hamilton's I switched the 2x110 VHO to 50-50's and the color is VERY nice. The VHO now add a bit of daylight to the almost-too-blue of the hamiltons.

What were your camera settings Travis?? The fish look as though they were posing for you!

 

[ReefLady]

Camera settings- well, on these I used a flash technique to underexpose the backgrounds while properly exposing the fish (didn't work as well on the flame shots, as they're a bit underexposed). So the shutter was locked at 1/250, aperture around f/4-f/5.6, ISO 400 I believe.

Great shots T! Where's that Sailfin at?

 

[ReefLady]

Sailfin is chilling in the 55, not a pretty tank to take pics of. The idea was to QT him in there, but now that the butterfly is in the 55 as well I think the sailfin will be going into the main tank. Worried about bioload in the 55.
