Hi,
Beautiful pics of the tank and mitras. I have a similar tank in making with GHL Mitras which is pending to be hooked up. Can u pls advise what type of screw u used to fix in the hanging bolt provided by GHL. |
thanks!
i just used regular wood screws to first secure a piece of plywood to my ceiling. then the same screws to anchor the fixture into the plywood. |
Photo update soon?
|
nothing too exciting happening in my tank. need to work on colour and growth!

yes but i don't think the light is to blame. i did however crank it down a few weeks ago...

trouble in paradise has continued so last night i gave the system a massive shot to the arm. 90g water change which meant there was only about 20g left in the tank. was pretty nerve-wracking but i was able to clean my sump and reset all my water. i've suspected my issues lie with elevated chloride levels due to all the magnesium dosing i've been doing. that and low or high levels of things i cannot measure.
so far the 3 pieces of sps that were looking really rough continue to do so but at a glance the rest of the tank looks like the day before. fingers crossed. i might have to get even more extreme and invest in a prayer reactor. |

Things are slowly looking a bit better in the tank but my sps has a really long way to go before I'd call it colourful.
Earlier this week when it looked like I'd have to sell my leopard wrasse because it was being bullied I actually stole back the little frag tank I'd bought for the 404 build from my buddy. He built an 8 foot frag tank for the 404 so he didn't mind too much lol. I was going to try and keep her in this tank since I'm really attached. Turns out the wrasses are both getting along again perfectly. No idea what that was all about. I went and setup the tank anyways! I stuffed it under the freebie cabinets I tossed up in the basement. This is beyond ghetto. I'm pretty damn proud of it :lol: http://www.fishbrains.net/images/93/fragtank1.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/93/fragtank2.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/93/fragtank3.jpg http://www.fishbrains.net/images/93/fragtank4.jpg |
Nice work....
|
Looks like the build quality on your tank stands has dropped just a touch lol. I still think your 3 part doser shelf from the last build has this beat hands down though in the ghettoness department.
|
wow, those matchstick legs look about as sturdy as mine :lol:

Amazing shots Brett
Must have taken awhile to perfect them. Great depth of field |
Wow, you sure know how to use that camera! Really brings out the beauty in those corals.
|
Cool pics. Blenny shot is awesome
|
Tank is looking good man. Can't even tell that you're running LEDs.
|
Perfect collection of the nicest Zoas! Nice work Brett, your camera skills are 1337.
|
What they all said....WOW..amazing pics
|
I think your camera skills are 1338.
|
Thanks guys!
|
Wow, yeah, those are awesome.
Is everything recovered from your bleach out then? 'Cuz this stuff looks more than OK... |
Thanks Tony. My acans aren't quite as colourful as they were before the bleaching but they're all close except for one. I lost one sps with 2 others are still hanging in there. It's the sps for the most part which still don't look too hot but they're slowly improving so my fingers are crossed.
|
My golly, stunning pictures! I love how the black background accentuates everything. One day if mine even came close I would be a happy man. :mrgreen:
|
Those photos just helped me make up my mind with what I'm going to do with my tank. Thanks Brett. :) And very nice pics!
|
Lol thanks. I have the lights off in the room so that helps gives some corals the black background. Otherwise I think it's shooting with F22 that squeezes the light out of the background of shots where there is stuff behind the corals. I don't really know much about my camera or the terminology.
You'd laugh if you saw my 'workflow'. 1. shoot a metric butt-tonne of photos 2. toggle between them and pick the best one for each shot. mostly check and pray one is mostly in focus 3. open in photoshop and do the following to every one: 3a. auto colour 3b. auto contrast 3c. auto tone photoshop allows you to fade from 0 - 100% the effect of each of these. sometimes a command totally messes with the shot and you don't apply it at all. 3d. sharpen |
Words of a wise man. I am going home straight after work, and going to do the "workflow".

Hot diggity I should have had your bring your camera to my house! My photography skills are only slightly better than an 9 month old chewing on a camera.
|
Crazy awesome photos Brett! You make me want to go out and buy a real camera instead of my point and shoot garb...
