2010 Full Tank Shots

[Parker]

As a continuation of Danny's post from 2009 - Why not post our 2010 Full Tank Shots. Maybe post your 2009 along with the 2010 so we can see what changes the last year had brought.

frd72: Just curious, is that a CPR overflow box you have? If so, have you had any problems with it 'cause I'm thinking of getting one.

it is not CPR overflow, i made a small box out of acrylic and since the bottom was tempered glass i can only drill on the sides. I drilled two holes in there for overflow..

thanks,
teddy

[RIPTANK]

Thanks teddy! Looks like I'll have to do the same thing with my 90 gal Osaka. Get someone to drill a couple holes and install an overflow box. I just don't trust them external overboxes...

Very nice! Looks like it was done by an artist. What kind of lights do you have ?

[lastlight]

Whatcanyedo...still one of my favs on here. Layout is so nice.

[whatcaneyedo]

I'm running two 250W DE 14K Phoenixes in Lumenmax 3's. I always get too much glare off of the sand when I take a picture but the rest of the colors are pretty true to life. There were also 6 fish in there when I took the picture... all of which seem to be a little camera shy.

Thank you! That last photo there has to be one of my favorites, I finally figured out the blue/ red balance on my camera and the contrast between the high noon sun and the blue lights makes a really great shot!

Image quality isn't good. That's with the 22K and Actinic so it's nice and blue once daylights are off. Can't seem to get the white balance right.

Anyway, this was taken this afternoon. Two nights ago I tore everything out of the tank and used a wire brush to scrape off all the Hair Algae that was overtaking my tank.

I ran out of RO water tonight while rinsing out the new sand, so if anyone was wondering, it won't be BB. I also but up my blue background again after I took the pic.

Here's my most recent one as I attempt to regain color in my SPS

Additionally, does anyone have recommendations for settings (manual or otherwise) for getting the best out of my Canon G10 camera when taking full tank shots? I can do a little post-processing in Aperture to try to get things back to reality but I'd really appreciate any insight with respect to taking nice pics with this particular camera.

All I did was get rid of the stock current USA bulbs, I replaced them with

Blue+
75/25
fiji purple
Aqua sun

I'm going to Calgary next week end and planning on picking up some more bulbs and possibly another fixture so not sure if I'm going to stick with the same mix or add a little more blue.

[andestang]

If the pic is fairly accurate in color I think you could get away with a little more blue.

[chris121277]

It is, if I don't find another fixture then I think I may change out the figi purple for a blue+, but if I do find another fixture then........I have no idea..lol

[BlueAbyss]

Ugh, you guys pull this on my when I'm planning a new tank? :lol:

The (soon to be dismantled) 10 gallon... I didn't clean the glass, excuse the fingerprints and salt creep.

I'll post this one since I just moved everything to a 5.5 gallon. Much better... I'll be scraping this one religiously.

Great LR work. What method did you use to make it ?

[Canadian]

Great LR work. What method did you use to make it ?

I drilled the rock with a hole saw and secured it on a 1/2" PVC frame. There are a couple spots where I also secured rock to the PVC frame with cable ties (zap straps) in addition to running the PVC through the drilled holes.

How many pieces did you attach together? Using 1/2" pvc + holesaw is an excellent method

[Canadian]

I believe there are 6 pieces of LR there.

Very nice Anthony. One of these days I've got to get down to see the Yellow Tangtropolis in person.

Thought I would post a couple of pictures of the before and after. It looks good for only being up and running for 4 months.

I went from a 30 gallon reef tank that I had for 3 years to this 90 gallon setup at the beginning of this year. I thought it would take me for ever to stock a 90 gallon but now I wish I would have gone bigger as I am running out of room.

[danny zubot]

That's a pretty drastic change for only 4 months. Some of those large softy colonies would suggest a tank thats a couple of years old already. Nicely done!

[project37]

Thanks Danny. I had a few of the softies in my old 30 gallon for a few years and some of the others are from a friend that also had some in her tank for a few years. Best regards...Doug

[bignose]

nice tank how do you like your coast to coast overflow?

[doobiej]

its the only way to go. only downside is that 8 feet long you have to be perfectly level and I mean perfect. I wasnt. im out about 1/4 of inch. the floor was level when I started filling this thing, but 3000lbs will quickly settle. I built a 2x12 post and beam support system under the floor in the basement but I suspect that there was some compression on the floor sheathing itself under the hardwood. so my left side drains faster than the right side which leaves a slow spot in the middle which causes detritis to swirl and not drain.

other than that, c2c is the best system going. if I had room I would have done it behind the tank but inside it still looks good and works fine. my fish LOVE the 8 foot long swimming space.
