You are a BIG tease! Great shots once again.
Hey are you using a tripod and a photo box?
I just bought an arcrylic photo box to be able to get over head shots.
Any tips on taking photos?

 

[igot2gats]

How about an FTS to show them off in action?

Always very nice Vlad. I am wanting to get a piece of your cyphastea one of these days. Shoot me a PM & let me know if I have anything that interests you for a trade.

Sending you a PM.

My tripod is MIA. So until I find it, no FTS. Its hard getting the entire 6' in one shot.

Right now, because I do not have a true macro lens, I have to take a as clear picture as possible before it being cropped to the right size. I do have to zoom in Photoshop to get the macro shot that I want. So focus on getting the shot very clear in Macro mode on your DSLR.

We (as in Fragd.it) use a mix of XM and Phoenix MH bulbs with some T5 supplementation. The corals in my system are with XM bulbs, ala pictures in my thread.

 

[delphinus]

250w'ers? What t5's for supplementation? Sorry, I'm just hungry for details. I'd invite myself over to chat and I'd even bring Timmie's with me if you were into that but T.O. is a little out of the way home from work for me.

Sorry if I'm just asking for info that's posted elsewhere. Like I said.. just hungry for info, I live for that sort thing.

Sure thing.

All are 250w MHs. I use ATI Blue Plus for my T5s, as it gives it a nice balance of blue. The 10K MHs are a tad yellow to white, so I need a little accent of blue. Plus the growth on the 10Ks is incredible.

If you are ever in TO, give me a ring. I am always happy to show off our system.
