What type of tang is that and where did you find him? He's gorgeous! Is he that purple in person or is that a trick of the light?

Hi,

it's Ctenochaetus strigosus (Kole tang) and I got him from Aquarium Illusions and yes he is that purple in person too

I'm waiting for my macro lens so nothing fancy right now

Nice work Patrick

Can anyone tell me how to post You Tube videos to the forum. I would like to post some vids of my set ups but have been unsucessfull so far.

Thanks in advance

just post link of them from youtube

Thanks Patrick

Hi Patrick,

What kind of lens did you use for this one?

wow, I try to heat my tanks to at least 80 degrees, and that heater hasn't stoped turning on regularly. But just some fyi some of my tanks havn't required a heater due to being placed above or beside a hot wall(heated water moving through). So you might want to check the temperature of the closest wall(or floor). I watched a guy loose some salt water fish this way while rebuilding his tank.

my problem is not behind the wall, I live in apartment building on third floor under the roof and that's the main problem, in summer we usually have inside the apartment around 40°C and that's killing not just me, right now I have air conditioning running 24/7 to keep 28°C inside, outside is 33°C without this machine I can serve freshly cook fish soup.

I must be lucky so far, I have 5 small tanks and 2 large tanks that stay between 75 & 81 degrees and all I have is cieling fans.

you are lucky man, i put frozen bottle inside my sump and after 16 minutes was hot some like water in tank

yesterday when I come home from work 22:30 I find my sw tank full of "milk" 33°C and my Sinularia flexibis was completely gone, skimmer was working like crazy i have to cleaned 3 times till now. Fish are doing ok I think. So I went to canadian tire and return with 12000BTU air conditioning, after one hour is nice 26°C here and 27 in fish tank.

I think you need better tripod or faster lens for this kind of pictures.

Yes I know. I didn't use a tripod on those, and I still need practice as these are my first attempts to shoot wildlife. So far I have only been focusing on fish photography. A better lens is always cool but a multithousandollar lens does not fit my budget right now.

If you have one, definitely can help you increase quality of you pictures, when I was starting, I was using old Tamron AF 200-400/5.6 and no tripod, all my pic from that time ends in trash bin, later I bought Manfrotto 055 tripod with ball head and my pic was 100% better, sharpness, contrast everything was much better.

You dont need to buy couple thousand bucks lens, really good 300mm f4 prime lens from canon or nikon is around 1K.

not hair algea is a problem in my tank, but red one

new helper with algae

Yes, I love him

He comes out today show me his beauty

We got it in the pkg deal with our tank from another member, so there is no reciept and I have no way of knowing it's age.

Here is manual for your filter "Manual Fluval FX5"

Hubby sells this in large bags at MFP on south/east side, truckers use it as de-icer.

Hi Sue,

do you have contact at that guy?

I was reading those recipes, Just my opinion but calcium chloride is a very corrosive addmixture used to accelerate the set time of concrete. After working with the stuff for a number of years and seeing what it do'es to my hands even with gloves, I'm not to sure that I would want to be adding it to my tank. At a 2% calcium chloride to water ratio it will eat through 3/8 rebar inside of 3 months.

Don't worry,

half North America is using this staff without any problems

The Mandarin is so beautiful! If the first pic is a female, it looks like the second pic is a matching male :eh:

Hi, both of them are same fish (male).

I don't know where to get that stuff, But i do work at Dow.
