I think you should not do water change when lights and CO2 are on. So far I have no problem doing water change weekly 1-2 hours before the lights are on.

[ranmasatome]

Thanks for the concern O2... yah loh.. think i learnt that lesson already..hahaha..

[stormhawk]

Expensive lesson. Next time give me the $$ first before you murder the fish.

Nice scape though. Waiting to see the full effect.

[ranmasatome]

Almost Done.... Almost...
I'm down from 30 to 15 fishes...

[beetroot]

Looking great, Ranma.
So is that the midi/mini java fern hanging on the left (2nd tree)?

Given your tank a name yet?

[ranmasatome]

Thanks.. yup.. 2nd tree on left.. and 3rd tree on right.

Nope.. no name yet..haha.. any ideas?

[blue33]

Agree with beetroot. Looking really good.

[StanChung]

Looks very deep. Lovely.
Poor fishies.

I think some lampeyes would look nice an subtle if you can't get more of what you have.

[ranmasatome]

Thanks Blue33 and Stan.

Thanks Stan for those ferns.. they worked out quite well indeed..

[StanChung]

Cool, can't wait to see the finished result.

[ranmasatome]

[StanChung]

Impressive, sure lot of hard work and planning you got there.

Sure hope that I can learn from you guys the skill and patient.

Cheers

[ranmasatome]

Sure looks much much brighter and cheerier with the light blue back ground..

Experimenting with light gradients... not too good at it yet...



3 flashes=> 2 to light up the front and a bit of the top of the background.. and one from below and behind...to give a gradient effect...hmmmm..

What do you guys think about the lighting?

[boxedfish]

how or where do you get the light blue background with gradient? looking for similar one also.

[limz_777]

the previous shot looks better , and the angle is better , it shows the path and the green looks vibrant

[ranmasatome]

Thanks limz, but previous shot is over exposed at some areas leh..and with that angle cannot submit for competition. Only front tank shot can submit...if i will also surely submit that angle..haha..

BoxedFish.. 1 word for you.
ArtFriend.
They are a wonderful place.

[blue33]

So which colour board you bought? Grey or blue? You can add more lights near the front just for photo taking, those with warm lighting produce great result, such as 3200k-6500k.

[ranmasatome]

Bought this board that is quite hardy... its light blue in colour and then using the light for gradient loh.
What does the warm light do? and shine where?

[boxedfish]

thanks for pointing out artfriend to me. Time to pay them a visit soon..
