SPS reef version 3.0

[jhale]

so what grows at the top of the colums so close to the light?
I don't know what it's called but the turbo snails love it.
they come by once a week and clear off the rocks like street sweepers

 

[Pedro]

J, what lights you running now?

 

[crox99]

Nice J. Keep them coming.

 

[jhale]

pedro, there are 3 se xm10K's across the tank, on the right and left side are mini luminarcs, the middle one is just in a plain spider reflector.

crox, thanks, that's it for now lol, I have to work on getting the white balance correct, the shots are not looking good color wise at all :irked:

 

[crox99]

I guess we have to wait.:beer:

 

[Pedro]

I tried taking some pics today and the damn radiums just wreak havoc on WB. I just gave up! All that while i was using my expodisc. I had better WB when i had my AB's.

I like your shallow sandbed, kinda looks nice like that.

 

[jhale]

I like the xm's in person they look great.
in all my pics the color is either coming out dull, or has a strange oversaturated look. the close up shots are okay, but the camera can't deal with the FTS. I have a feeling it's going to take some testing to get a custom WB that works :sigh:

 

[jhale]

maybe I'll just shoot the FTS in B/W :scratchch :lol:

 

[Deanos]

Take some more clam pictures.

 

[jhale]

Take some more clam pictures.

okay, when the lights on tomorrow.

want to see the clam I adopted? With some tlc it might make a full recovery.
poor clam was abused in it's former home :dead1:

 

[prattreef]

Hey Jon,
Looks great. Are you supplementing with actinics or are those just the XM's?

 

[jhale]

Randy, I do not have any actinics right now, I need to hook them up.
But I do like the XM's just by themselves.

thanks waterboy.

 

[DevIouS]

Looks great J!


Clam =

Previous owner -

Poor clam was living in the ghetto:sad2:

 

[prattreef]

I'm running the Ushio DE 14K's without supplements and they look good too--- quite similar actually.

 

[tosiek]

Tank looks great Jhale! :thrash: Love the placement and feel of the tank.

 

[jhale]

poor clam

ever wonder what happens to a clam kept in water that has no3 close to 100, ca around 800 and alk of 15, plus some no2 just for good measure?

it's not pretty
(donated by the unknown reefer)

 

[prattreef]

That clam should recover, it looks pretty good considering.

Especially that one

 

[Tonyscoots84]

poor clam .... J the tank is looking really nice... great job man.. give that clam some tlc and it will be back to normal and looking even nicer ...

 

[Pedro]

Damn, i wonder who the unknown reefer was. I'm surprised it's not dead. if it made it through that, it should do well in your tank. Poor clammie.
