Thanks Mark. Picking up the ladies on Saturday, hope the male has been eating his Wheaties!

Thanks Wesley, I have a Canon XTi and for that particular picture I used a Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens. Why that lens? Cause it was on the camera at the time.

Come on Dan how about a FTS!

 

[Reefer08]

Oops double post!

 

[flying_dutchman]

We want a FTS

Dan, I read that you do bi weekly test on your tank. What all test do you run on your tank? I do calcium, Alk, Ph. I'm asking because your colors in person are just amazing and I want to try to come close to what you have achieved. I have been looking at different dosers and calcium reactors and I think I'm just going to run the calcium reactor still not 100%. Its between the profilux doser or the koraline reactor, not sure witch one just yet.

Ramzy and Dutchman, been lazy lately but will try to take some photos this weekend. I'd like to get opinions on the new bulbs and their color.

Thanks Bryan. I test for those three plus NO3 and every few weeks I test for PO4. I run a Korallin 1502 and once it is dialed in, it's good. I don't have experience with automatic two part dosing systems there are many successful tanks that run a two-part dosing system. If you get a reactor I have a link to the set up directions (written by another RC member) that I could send.

I thought someone mentioned a FTS
