My New Marine Tank

[Truck]

Aha - upped the ISO and turned the flash on and dropped a few flakes in and we have:

They're these Amphiprion percula from TMC (tank bred)

i would stick the ISO at around 400-600 then you get a good balance, and not to much noise. Macro-mode is a handy feature, with digital zoom also

yeh ISO is up at 400 (max).

Macro is good but not for these guys - they move too quick!

I could post a video - what's the best place to do that?

Much better with the changed settings, nicely marked clowns aswell.

Photobucket allows you to host videos.

Well no update for a while so I've got some new pics. I got a new fish which you can just about see in one of the pics - a regal tang. I know the tank is too small for her but I'll be upgrading eventually and you can see her in the second pic hiding (sleeping) in the rocks. She's about 2inches at the mo and settled in nicely.

Stats as of tonight are:

Temp: 25
SG: 1.026
pH: 8-8.2
NitrIte: 0
NitrAte: 0-10
Amonia: 0
phosphate: 0-0.25 (hard to tell in the light but there's a very light blue tint to it)

As you can see from the FTS I'm suffering still from the cyano. It's nowhere near as bad as it was and i've now added rowaphos which seems to be helping (only added last week).

I've had a couple of losses. 1 of the hermits i found in pieces one day - i think the big one got him (see third pic) and one snail i found upside down and pecked. Otherwise I have 4 snails, 2 hermits and the cleaner shrimp still in there!
