Pretty cool picture!

TD13 · #**656** 11/19/2007, 07:07 AM

what kind of camera is that

gkarshens · #**657** 11/19/2007, 09:18 AM

I have a Nikon D100. That was taken with a Tamaron 75-300mm lens using a macro extension tube.

TD13 · #**658** 11/19/2007, 02:04 PM

ok

gkarshens · #**659** 11/29/2007, 07:20 PM

Did some tests today:

Mg 1470
Ca 300
Kh 10

Not sure why my Calcium is so low. I keep my reactor in the 6.5 range.

jnarowe · #**660** 11/29/2007, 07:32 PM

strange numbers Gabriel. Did you re-test the Ca?

gkarshens · #**661** 11/29/2007, 08:02 PM

Not yet. I will try again when I get home. I am leaving for a few hours.

gkarshens · #**662** 12/01/2007, 02:34 PM

I tested again and it was 300. I just added some Seachem Reef calcium to try to bump it up.

I Can't remember if I had mentioned it or not but I had lost my male Anthias. Poof! Just disappeared. So yesterday my awesome friends at Kingfish Aquariums traded me another one for a frag of an Acro.

gkarshens · #**663** 12/03/2007, 09:51 PM

So I have been dosing the Seachem reef calcium over the past couple days. I tested my levels today and I am up to 375. So I dosed some more. Hopefully I can get it up around 420 and keep it there this time.

I think the new Anthias is going to have trouble. He is obviously getting beat up. I just yesterday noticed that my largest female now has a dorsal spike so I think that she is changing to a male. The new one is eating well but that is the only time he comes out of hiding.

Tell me about it! I know I posted here and yet it's no where to be found! :rollyeyes:

gkarshens · #**666** 12/10/2007, 11:27 PM

So I tested again and my numbers are much more where I like them.

Sa 1.025
Ca 400
Kh 8
Mag 1450

I went ahead and dosed just a little more Calcium to bump it just a bit higher.

The new Anthias seems to be doing better. The bite marks have healed and he is out a lot more.

I did a bunch of fragging on Friday. I worked out a deal with Kingfish to try to sell some frags through their store. I still have a few more to cut and take over there.

I guess that is all the news for now. I will try to get some new pics soon.

Here is a new FTS that I stitched together:

jnarowe · #**668** 12/11/2007, 07:52 PM

whoa, that brings me back to college.

gkarshens · #**669** 12/11/2007, 10:29 PM

What to your drug induced haze??? Sounds like a Friday night for you.

jnarowe · #**670** 12/12/2007, 12:02 AM

hey, I has to give the other students a fighting chance!

Gabe as had been echoed your tank looks great but CLEAR THE SANDBED OF STUFF! I would also like to add when I say that, I don't mean come give it to me.

John

gkarshens · #**672** 12/12/2007, 01:09 AM

You know that is where it is going to end up. I cleared half of it on Friday. I have just been too lazy to get pics of stuff and post it for sale. Really all that's left are those 3 little colonies on the left.

gkarshens · #**673** 12/12/2007, 10:36 PM

Proof the new dog is trying to steal my spot in the family:

jnarowe · #**674** 12/12/2007, 10:49 PM

damn dog's will move right in on your action!

bmwaaron · #**675** 12/15/2007, 09:13 PM

Doesnt look like he is trying to me!
