It's SO hard to get good fish pics, isn't it? Looks like you have a great collection. The more I see Anthias in others' tanks, the more I'm inclined to add them to my own in the future!

Nice fish AND corals:smile:

if you can go into a manual mode, try opening the aperature up a bit and speeding up the shutter, that should reduce the motion blur shots.

[niloc16]

i dont have that option. its a kodak c330

Hi, great tank and corals!! As for taking pics of fish, use the flash and take pics at an angle. Unless you have a good camera with a manual mode, flash is pretty much your only answer....

good luck :)

Wow, got coraline? ;)

Is the Tunze on a Wavysea? I was trying to do that same thing but with a Seio. Thing doesn't respect its end points though, ends up pointing backwards at the glass in behind. :( I gotta figure out what the issue is ..

[niloc16]

yep the tunze is on a wavysea. i got the idea from superfudge. works awesome

[Delphinus]

Quick question, Wavysea or Wavysea Plus? I'm wondering why mine won't work for me. :(

[niloc16]

i have them on a wavysea not the plus. what do you mean it wont work for you?

[Delphinus]

It doesn't stay within its set limits. I want to have it on a 90 degree sweep, it's in the centre of the tank (cube tank) facing forward, so basically from pointing to front left corner to front right corner. It runs fine for a few hours but invariably (and it has to only happen when I'm no longer watching it, it figures!) it starts to "drift" to the right, i.e., it goes a little too far to the right each time and not enough back to the left. Eventually it gets itself completely turned around and facing backwards and the Seio is caught up on its own wires or something.

[niloc16]

maybe the control head of the wavy sea i defective. the switches inside might be screwed up.

[blaster]

Tony how are you setting it up?Maybe try it without the powerhead.I do recall playing around with it before it was set.

[Delphinus]

Running fine without the Seio for 2 days now. I guess there's something about the Seio or just the way I had it mounted that doesn't work. What's weird though is that I had mounted it the same way niloc16 and Superfudge have their Tunzes mounted, ie. just a PVC cap that's drilled to accomodate the pump, over the output pipe.

But I notice that the pipe output looks metric, ie. the O.D. looks like 30mm where with 1" proper the O.D. is (I think 1-1/4", which is 32mm). Maybe I need to go find a metric PVC supplier and see how that goes instead.

Colin, you just used a 1" PVC cap or did you use something else? I had to wrap a copious amount of teflon over the pipe before the 1" cap fit snug. I thought this would be OK but apparently not ...

[niloc16]

i just used a 1" pvc cap with a 1" union (if that is what it is called ) for extra length to get the pump further in the water and the wavysea further out of the water. but the union slips right over the orings of the wavysea shaft and it holds it tight

[Delphinus]

Hmmm. That's exactly what I did, except the 1" coupler doesn't fit snugly over the shaft, that's why I used teflon to tighten it up a bit.

Oh well, sorry for hijacking your thread. And thanks for your help! At least I know others are trying this and it's working :)

My camera has a rapid fire setting on it, I have had good results by just holding the button and following the fish I want a picture of.
