Thanks guys...
J, I had PC's over this tank for the longest and it was probably just as bright or brighter since the PCs were evenly shining into the tank.... but then again it was 4x96 along with 3x55.

Right?

Halides on 1 tank > 2 Tanks with PCs''

lol

[jeebus]

I can't blame you one bit!

Agreed. I can't stop looking at these pictures. They're disgustingly nice.......... :)

[J-WS6]

hey jeebus! why do you think I'm giving up my cyps/90?

for halides!

once again, great pictures ek.

[Zulaab]

Well Jeebus.. in time you will get some more powerful lights :)

[jeebus]

Not to hi-jack your thread...

I wanted to show the difference between stock and upgraded tank lights, as seen by a camera with no flash.

Both these pictures were taken by comparable cameras at similar settings: F-Stop 3.5/4.0, Shutter Speed 1-60/1-80, & ISO200.

2x35 watt hood strip fluorescents:


3x150 watt Metal Halide + 4x96 watt Power Compact Fluorescents:


What a world of difference!

Hell if it wasn't for jesper mine would still be in a closest.

[jeebus]

lol... I threw my camera in the trash.



..Give me a minute, I'm uploading now. :)

[eklikewhoa]

Well if you let other's pictures defer you from posting your pictures none of would be posting.... there are soo many good photographers out there on a hobbyist level and it made me hate my camera cause pictures never came out as nice.

[jeebus]

They're coming, they're coming. I'm going back to the drawing board to see if I can squeeze some better pictures out tonight. You keep raising the bar, dang it.

[eklikewhoa]

Thanks man!

So what's up with your updates?

[jeebus]

Wow. Having good light really does help. Thanks for the setting info. Awesome shots man, awesome shots.

[eklikewhoa]

Recent ones were at 1/80, fs 4.0, ISO 200

[jeebus]

Awesome shots! So what are the settings??

[Zulaab]

I hope to -- so yeah :)
