Rebirth - 1500l

[Alex Costa]

Hi janci,

I did it with my Canon EOS Rebel XSi with a regular 18~55mm Canon lens.

ISO 1600
Aperture - 5,6
Exposure time 1/80
Focal lenght - 55mm
WB in Custom mode

Did some crop and post processing using Adobe photoshop CS3.
I basically increase gamma, contrast ans brightness in my photos, to make them look more vivid.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi janci,

Thank you Alex.
I have been trying to take pictures with the 100mm macro lens but the fish moves too fast to get them well focussed.
I guess I will try again with the normal 18-55mm lens as well.

Janci,

In my opinion the biggest problem shooting fishes isn't the lens, is the exposure time.
Anything slower than 1/100 will give some blur.
Try to raise the ISO and the aperture size to keep the exposure time around 1/100.
The 18~55 ins't a good lens...Its luminosity is very poor and I only managed to get 5,6 of aperture at 55mm of focal lenght.
I don't know the 100mm Macro very well but if it can give you a little more aperture (around f4,0 or f2,8) , indeed it's a better call.

About the focus, the 18~55mm that I have is the regular one, so the focus isn't the USM.
Any Canon lens with USM resource will give you a faster focus.

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

The tank is simply amazing!
How many fishes you have now? What do you feed them and how often?

Hello.
Thanks!
I have something about 15 fishes, mostly medium/small ones...
I feed them with Bcuk Marine flakes, Calanus Flakes and grounded shrimp 3 or 4 times a day...sometimes 5 times....it varies due to my available time at home...
I feed them with Nori too....once in a while...

Regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Beautiful tank you have there! I noticed you have a clown tang in there. I love the looks of those fish but have heard horror stories about them. Have you had any issues with them so far with aggression?

 

[Darth_Tater]

That CBB looks good in there, along with everything else!

Alex, are those dispar anthias?

Thanks!
I had a Clown in my previous setup and I knew about his temper.
Both mine are evil....
The actual one is the only tang in the tank........and because he got no one to fight, 2 weeks ago he thought it was a good ideia start to chase and harass my school of Chromis.
Result: all of them stayed hidden in the branches of acros and 3 of them ended dead.
It's a beautiful fish...one of the most beautiful tangs, I think....but it's a mean fish.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssss.....:dance::dance::dance:
This time I got lucky with the CBB.....
It's a healthy and very very active fish.....
And my aiptasias are going down....:uzi::uzi::uzi::uzi::uzi::uzi:

Alex, are those dispar anthias?

No....
They're squamipinis.
One of my females died some months ago....and I buy a male to replace it.
Now I have a couple.

One of my Red bar died .....and the other one passed the day hidden in rocks yesterday.
I think it'll be dead by tomorrow.
Not a good option in my experience untill now.
Maybe I'll add another 2 female squamipinis.....

Alex,

everything looks vibrant and fantastic. By the way, i drew inspiration from your GSP and added it to my sand bed in my new tank build. It adds quite a bit of color and I'm happy with the decision to add it in. just need to keep it in check

Also I see you kept your acans in the tank with the CBB. Any issues or all good?

 

[nsfishguy]

Yeah, that is what I thought! Thanks for the info.

I like the GSP too...it gives the tank some color and movement.
About the CBB, untill now it's eating aiptasias and shrimp, ONLY.......lol
It's hard to tell if it'll be like this permanently.
If it shows interest in the acans, I'll remove them to the frag tank.
