:lol:
Reasons:
1. I ran out of bandwidth on both my Photobucket accounts!
2. I changed my scape a tiny bit, so feel like a new FTS is in order.
3. My bro just bought the Canon 7D...so he want to shoot some new pics. - I get to play with the new camera...lol I cant afford one. :lol:
4. So hope the above together explain why no photos on this thread.
Anyway, what Canon do you have?

Bello just PM'd me going right off the deep end, something about 58 posts since you first mentioned the new FTS........... anyhow don't worry mate, i have your back and will keep that shocking bit of info to myself. 
That cube sounds cool, your ATI hybrid would do a 3x3x2 i'm sure though mate.......

I wish I could get a 3x3x2 cube...its going to be more like 30"x30"x24".
As for the FTS...:facepalm: My bro just got a Canon 7D which is like a super cool Canon DSLR. He wants to reshoot the top down video and will do a nice FTS shot too. Sorry for the delay.
I checked out the 7D today and I wish I could buy one as well...Cool. Now I can expect to see LOADS of awesome SPS coral shots on your thread.
My bro bought the 7D and I had a quick mess around with it...super nice camera.

This thread has been eerily quiet...

I know things have been quiet around here...but not much to report, other than that things are going in the right direction.
Photos and videos are coming soon.
:lol: You guys are too funny!
Kevins antics aside, the reef is going well. Colours continue to improve and I'm seeing lots of growth. This is evidenced by new white coloured growth tips and the fact that my Alk usage has increased from 25ml per day to 100ml to day!
Even with the tank lights off I can see my corals have colour! The green and blue colours on the Orange Passion (better known as Koala Passion...aka...Kangaroo Passion) can be seen without the tank lights. So thats something cool to see.

Sounds like things are going great Sahin, that alk draw rise is cool and a good growth rise indicator - a big change for the better.
Rich saturated colors look good day or night mate - obviously we now need night flash shots included in a future update.
I was at the post office sending something to a mate overseas the other day and i remembered how years ago we used to express post each other turbo snails and live sand when starting out and needing to seed our tanks with diverse life. Do guys in the UK ever do stuff like that to help each other out.

Well, it WAS going well...but I had another alk dip. :facepalm: Alk was less than 6dKH. Calcium was low too. Some corals browned out slightly, but nothing else happened so I am grateful for that.
I am now dosing 125ml of my Alk solution. Whereas only around 6 weeks ago, before the massive feeding increase, I was dosing only 25ml a day.
My bro comes over to visit every 3-7 days and even when he comes comes just after 3 days he keeps telling me the corals are growing much faster than all my previous attempts at keeping SPS. So I must be doing something right...It must also have something to do with that BEAST of a light the ATI LED Powermodule.
As for posting stuff for other hobbyists; years ago when I first got into SPS keeping, I had a reefing mate who lives in Scotland, I used to post SPS frags to him, and he used to post some back to me. - There were some SPS I could get easily here in London, and his LFS used to get some other nice stuff. We also posted each other Dove snails and Chaeto etc. Eventually he got out of reefkeeping and we lost contact since.
I have another buddy who has a nice SPS tank, however, his budget doesnt allow him to get some of the more nicer SPS...So as soon as some of my nicer SPS corals get to a decent size, I always break a frag and drive down to his place. His tank is a large cube and he has some of my nicer pieces. Its a way of saving my best pieces...My Red Planet, Echinata etc I've banked with him.
As for that video of my tank, well its almost ready...I was hoping to have it uploaded by the weekend...BUT for some reason as soon as it gets uploaded to YOUTUBE, the quality DROPS massively. My bro is trying to work out why this is happening.

Tell him to shoot at 30fps
He has a Canon 6D, and I think one shot, he did shoot at 30fps, but its something to do with the encoding. The sound and video must match Youtubes requirements in order to retain full quality...need to look into it a bit more.

Hopefully by next year this time I will definitely have an FTS. :spin3:
