Bro, ever considered using an Iceprobe?

Bro, ever considered using an Iceprobe?

I did not want the hassle of having extra pipes running out of the tank and making holes on the cover

If I want to do this, I will go ahead with normal chiller instead.

Maybe I am just a minimalist at heart...

[lweepin]

My goal is to create a great looking tank with the least possible equipment.

If this does not work out, I may add a chiller.

If I add the chiller, I will as well add a skimmer too.

Bro,

Thank You for sharing your experience.

Happy Reefing

Something change in my tank. Guess what is it?

[jackywongto]

cannot see any diff between the last 2 FTS leh.

changed lighting?

[lweepin]

You are right. I have changed to LED lights.

My lights have a slight tint of blue which "confused" my camera

In the past, I can use software to make the photograph similar to what is seen with our eyes.

Now it is more difficult

who modded the LED for you? Sherman?

I use flash photograhy to save trouble

Hope my fishes doesn't get affected with all those flashes.

[lweepin]

You are right again.

Sherman did a great job on the modification.

I ask him to install 9 x white & 9 x royal royal blue LEDs in my tank

The brightness is pretty uniform throughout the tank

The light seem slightly dimmer than my stock light

The slight blue tint make my corals more luminous when seen with naked eye.

My main reason for me to switch to LEDs is to reduce my heat load since I do not have a chiller.

I will update on the impact of the LEDs on my heat load and corals in the next few weeks

The LEDs that he use is very good. Saw the specs.

Did you do the dimmable ones or are they fixed?

Bro,

Change your camera white balance to 10000 or larger for led light.

If you set auto the default is around 7000 and you get color issue.

Try it

Bro you using canon 40D right?

Go to menu and change the white balance to 10000 instead of AWB.

Then problem solve

I want the fixed ones. I did not need dimmer and was told that the dimmer need a separate power supply outside the hood which I do not like

[lweepin]

No lah, I am only using G9 but I think I can change the white balance too.

I will try tonight

G9 is a very good camera.

I use to own a G1.

Sure the white balance can be adjusted.

No issue about that

[sherman]

Ooop that is for Jacky

[jackywongto]

Ooop that is for Jacky

roger roger... will try that the next time i take a photo.

[lweepin]

I manage to find a setting on my G9 that can can adjust for white balance.

Select the option and it adjust the white balance.

Quite effective lah. Thanks for the tips

See the difference

[sherman]

So you finally settle at what setting for your G9?

[lweepin]

Don't know leh.

G9 has a setting to do white balance.

I press one button and it will do white balance.

Then I just click to take picture

So you finally settle at what setting for your G9?

[sherman]

So no need manual setting.

Something new for me to learn

[lweepin]

Went shopping for Corals again.

My tank is getting full and my pocket is going the other way.

Luckily my tank is small or else I will go broke really soon

The nanocube curve glass made photographs of the tank not as clear as it should be.

Other than that, I really like the compact design

Although I really have a few lobophyllia, I can't resist to buy the one below
