Schreiba's ADA 60-F

I absolutely love your tank. The rimless look is so clean and your photos really make your colors pop.

Sorry to bother you with a few questions if you don't mind.

What camera settings do you use to get such a great clean color? I am new to photography and at times struggle to get good accurate shots. I use a Nikon D300 with a macro lens and just can't get the colors.

Where do you find your acans? You have some beautiful pieces.

Great looking tank again!

Thanks Timothy! The colors are pretty tough to capture though. The main thing I find is to make sure the shot is properly exposed, for example the sand isn't totally blown out and that the shot isn't too dark either. I generally do this by using the shutter priority mode. I use the auto white balance and then adjust it in post processing with aperture for mac. If you shoot in RAW you have a little more freedom with post processing too. Lastly, be sure to use a tripod for nice crisp shots unless you have a really steady hand I hope this isn't too overwhelming!

I got my acans at Mr. Coral and have been growing them out slowly but surely. I think they'll really take off now that they're mounted on live rock too.

Looks better than ever!

Thanks ange, that's what I was going for with the new scape!

WOW, I can't believe I have never seen this thread. Amazing, ADA tanks are my favorite. If I could do it all over again I would of bought the same tank. Jealous...one of the cleaner nano's I have seen. Great job.

Haha thanks ange! I do need to try and take some more of the SPS and some acans since they've grown out a lot more.

Thanks krkosiba! ADA tanks are great and I would recommend them to pretty much everyone

I really like what you have done with your aquascape it seems the minimalistic approach is the new hot ticket but to pull it off with a 8.6 is not easy, I think you are well on your way! Real nice setup keep up the good work.

sweet tank.. any videos?

Every rimless tank I see looks like a million bucks, and your is no exception.

Thanks! And yeah I was never really satisfied with how my rocks were before but I'm definitely preferring this scape. There's a lot more bare sandbed which helps with the minimalistic look.

Thanks geaux xman! I took one awhile back of my candy cane's sweepers but I haven't attempted one since. I guess I could try and make a few more of the whole tank.

Ive read this thread in and ut and everytime i look at it it just amazes me! truly gorgeous... I am new to this and really want this to become my new hobby im just lost to the fact of the filtration setup. are there any pointers you have? i like the setup you had with the wide tipped tube it seems that it was the peak of your set up and of course now.. but again any pointers for a starting point on the filtration setup?

Thanks and welcome to RC! :wave:

When I had the wide tipped tubes (aka lily pipes), my primary filtration was a canister filter with floss, carbon, and purigen. This is a great setup for LPS, softies, and really hardy SPS but doesn't quite keep the water clean enough for most acros.

I now have a MAME overflow and a sump that houses a filter sock, skimmer, chaeto/mangroves, and a carbon reactor for filtration. This combination is significantly better for growing pretty much any corals as long as you keep all the parameters in check. It has also allowed me to setup a controller which helps the parameters be even more stable.

I know this is probably a lot to take in since you're new to the hobby but I would advise you read and learn as much as you can before you jump in. If you can afford to start off with a sump I would highly recommend it as it is much more versatile and easier to work with. However, a canister filter isn't bad for beginners just know you will have to take it apart and clean it every week. Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

Since my xenia is now in the front of the tank I found it's a lot easier to take shots of my clownfish so here's a pretty good one I got today
