jolt Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I do have a few more. I’m cleaning the racks and plugs left to right and shooting a few pix as I go. I have 6 more racks to go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good Greef Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 Jolt, Things are looking good. I still need to schedule a time to shop in person! What is your targeted alk and No3? Do you dose No3 with Spectracide, or is your feeding enough? Thanks for your response. I'll hang up and listen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted May 30, 2018 Author Share Posted May 30, 2018 I would like 5 nitrate and 0.5 phosphate. My nitrate is actually basically undetectable though. Phosphate is measuring about 0.06. I was dosing flourish nitrogen to bring nitrates up but was getting an ulva outbreak so I stopped. That’s why I’m cleaning all the plugs and racks lol. I like alk at 8.4 it’s a little high right now at 9.1 because I just replaced carx media and still trying to get that dialed in I need to sell some frags but I don’t have time to make pretty pics. I have about 70 pieces ready to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted June 1, 2018 Author Share Posted June 1, 2018 Here's an extremely rare piece, I think there are two frags known to man, I'm told the Route 66 guys lost theirs (see the lineage history here) Tyree (Route 66) Moulin Rouge EDITED: I mistakenly posted a picture of my Red Planet here! You can see the Moulin Rouge a few posts below. BC Aquatic Man Table ready to move up to the big boy tank.

Sierra Bravo Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Soooo, next meeting/frag swap at your house? 😍 Don't stop posting pictures - I've been watching the board last few days wondering if you've cleaned the next rack yet or not. ☺️ What an outstanding collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+olaggie01 Posted June 1, 2018 Share Posted June 1, 2018 Pink Caddy is looking great. It should start to branch out soon. Mine encrusted for a while then started growing vertically.And I know where I need to shop next. Those frags look great.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTy Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 He gave me 8 polyps... But really I gave it to myself since I ran there to "rescue" his tank from his own family who was tank/house sitting when he was in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used manual 35mm cameras, developed our own film, and printed our own pictures in a darkroom. It's funny, I was pretty good at it but I just never had a nice DSLR camera until two weeks ago. But we learned a lot of things in that class and I guess I retained some of it Canon T7i with stock 18-55mm lens Avast XL porthole RAW mode ON Manual mode ON F8 ISO 400 Autofocus ON Image Stabilization ON All pumps off Adobe Lightoom CC post process whitebalance 16k whites +20 blacks +20 exposure + 0.39 Thats basically it. Some of the lightroom exposure settings varied since the lighting in the frag tank is not perfectly even. Don't think I ever went above +1.2 though I've got a T3i and used these settings but my pics came out extremely dark. What could I have done wrong? The one thing I don't see in your list that is on my display is shutter speed. I tried several different settings but none of them worked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hmm, I'll have to look at that when I get a chance. I did not set the shutter speed. I was assuming it would be automatic based on the ISO setting and the F stop setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolt Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 @Jimbo662I took some shots today with shutter 1/80, F4.0, ISO 200. I didd not turn off flow or pumps.

I'm seeing better results...just need to play with lightroom a little more. Like you I also took a photography class my senior year in high school and had a darkroom set up at home...but unlike you I didn't retain quite as much of the knowledge! 😞 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
