Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Thanks guys.

Was shooting manual on a nikon d80 with a 105mm macro. I don't really know a whole lot about camera speak but it was set to F22. For white balance I just set my camera to 9900K bulb and it comes out very close to true.

Very very nice.


FYI you can make your own "Julian's Thing" with some stiffer tubing and a 5ml syringe from the pharmacy. Just fit the tube over the end of the syringe and voila. I've done it for years now to spot feed. Cheap, and easy to replace or customize for food size.

Wow.. Photo's look fantastic.

I'm jealous of your SPS. I never really had a problem keeping SPS in the past, but I can't for the life of me keep any piece I buy these days alive in either of my tanks. What's your secret?

Thx Josh.

No secret really and while my relatively small collection is for the most part growing, most of the pieces are not yet very coloured up at this point. I find it always takes me a long time to get sps settled and i've never had many pieces reach the potential that other reefers reach.

As for my system it is quite basic.

- Mitras (~13k, 71% power) light ramps up / down for 2 hours. Full intensity for 6 hrs.
- DD H2Ocean with weekly 10 - 15 gallon changes
- reactor with gfo
- 2 filter socks with a bit of carbon in them. cleaned out weekly
- filter foam on top of socks which i rinse off a few times per week
- skimmer cup emptied once a week
- food added is NLS pellets, Pacifica Plankton and Acan Plus

Back wall of the tank was of course all dead rock. It leached a lot of nutrients but I think it's pretty settled now. Rest of the rock was live.

I turkey baste the tank thoroughly at least once per week. The coral looks very happy when I do this!
