New Aquapod 24g adventure!!!

[pookstreet]

Looks good Adam. Now you need to invest in a decent digicam

 

[adam1121]

I know haha. I am using the one we bought my grandma last year....seemed decent and cost enough thought it would look great....stupid canon powershot....

 

[pookstreet]

It's usually not the equipment but the end user that's the problem :hahaha: Every camera has it's potentials. You just need to find it's "sweet spot". I use a 4-5 year old Nikon but I've learned how to use it. Still trying to figure out my Canon Rebel XT that cost 4X more.

 

[adam1121]

Haha, yeah im still trying. Some of the pics i can do pretty good as you can see. Others i get too blurry or can't get it into focus.

 

[pookstreet]

Try using a tripod to steady all your shots. They are blurry b/c you are moving, however the slightest. The shutter isn't fast enough to compensate on these point-n-shoots.

 

[adam1121]

Ok...i think my dad has an extra one. Thanks for the tips! What should the shutter speed be on? fastest or slowest?

 

[crad190]

your tank looks good!
that toadstool seems to be enjoying it's self!

 

[pookstreet]

If you have it on a tripod, then don't mess with the shutter speed. Otherwise, the faster shutter will diminish the effects of your hand movement. But then there will be other issues. Long story.

hey adam, that favites that you ahve, looks like the coral I have. I been calling it green favia.

Is favia the same as favites, cause they look identical.

And since it has a name, doews that mean it is worth something???

 

[adam1121]

Lol. i just call it a radioactive green because it is just super bright. Not sure what the real name is. But i think favites and favia is the same...not sure though. Not sure what i have lol.

Cool, I'll be tracking this thread. My build is similar, its an old 20-24gallon odyssea cube but with no false wall. And I'm also using the 150w Viper K2, so I'm interested in how your corals,especially sps, and your clams do.

 

[adam1121]

Well, my clams and my sps are growing like crazy. I mean, like crazy. At the beginning of october i got a bunch of sps, all has grown at least a half inch, all my palys have spread/colored up super nice, and my clams are loving it. As well as my chalices, they have gotten brighter then when i first got them, i have a super hot pink one i got from Kenny, it has grown quite a bit, and they are somewhat slow growers. But i also dose like crazy.

Your tank looks great Adam, Hows your radioactive favia doing? Mine didnt do to good and died.

 

[adam1121]

Mines doing good, has only grown a bit though. Hows your Seasons greetings doing tony?

 

[crazydante23]

Its still alive. Lol. Its slowly regaining its astroturf green back. The superman monti Colored up nicely.

 

[adam1121]

Did it? great! Mine is too, and its growingl like a weed. And im glad yours is coming back. I have mine under lower flow and lower in the tank. I love the color of it though, its so amazingly green. Especially under actinics and moonlights.

 

[Bobgeo]

[EyeReef]

man those 24 gallon nanos are always fun..but unfortunately they fill up very fast. I see an upgrade in the near future=)

 

[crazydante23]

Hey Adam hows your radio active favites doing? Let me know when your available this week so I can get that toadstool. I picked up a pair of black and whites from jason, These babies are mean or at least they can defend themselves. They are nice fish to have. Alright man later.
