You need to clean that glass man!! Windex on the outside and a paint scraper on the inside to take of the stubborn algae.. Also what filter you using as you have a 4x2x2, (same tank as me) cause there are heaps of particles floating in the water.

I hope your windex doesnt go in the water..

Yea i normally use a razor or something to clean the glass. Havnt done it in a while. Will do it over the weekend!!

I use a skimmer :P I just fed the fish and turned the powerheads off, and turned it back on so things were floating around. Dont worry the particles arent gonna do anything. You wont notice it after a while once it settles.

Whats in your tank?

Nah man, you just spray the windex at the bottom mid section of the glass then use newspaper and wipe of all the water and salt marks..

I'm keeping blue moba frontosa in my 4x2x2 and i have a colony of L134 catfish in a 3ft tank. :P

Thanks man.. Just curious as to why pic 2?

Sure you wanna know? :P

In the first pic the fish looks trapped form lack of leading space. Dirty glass (or stuff in water - not sure) is distracting. And would be better with the bottom where you can see the tank cropped. Shadow at bottom is also distracting.

(actually seeing tank might be ok if the shadow wasn't there)

Third pic is actually really good IMO but yeah - plants are not really that exciting

Hence number 2 is my fav - more leading space would have been nice here also but like the detail in the fish ;)

I know nothing about freshwater, but those fish do look cool tho.. They seem pretty big in size!! Nicely captured with the pictures :)

Oh man it just point and shoot and resize lol.. Wasn't trying to get composition correct etc etc.. Plus i have to shoot like 1-2meters away from the tank.. As the only lens i have is a 70-200. I just wanted to show off my clam!!

They are corals man.. not plants lol.. Sorry had to correct you. As there is a big difference :( hehe

But yea hopefully i will get the glass cleaned over the weekend. You cant even notice it when your looking at it. Its the camera that picks up every minor detail.

anyways thanks for that feedback :)

Thing that should be in everyones bag = 70-200. You don't even need a camera. Just the lens. Take it to lunch and dinner, treat it well.Don't hurt it's feelings! :P

yeah ive got a 70-200 2.8 but i think there is something wrong with it - it cant take good pics :banana:

Really?

wanna give it away to me? since its a crap lens and all and cant take good pics?? pretty please :banana: heheh

nah nah whats wrong with it?

Btw anyone finding the IS motor inside noisy?

its a sigma lens with a nikon mount so doubt it would be very useful for you tbh :P

as for whats wrong - no idea :( just cant take a sharp photo - it always comes out blurry

i am going to do some testing to see if it gets better/worse at different focal lengths

and then if it gets better/worse at different apertures but i think something inside is stuffed

i.e. a one of the elements isn't quite strait or something

(dont know much about what can go wrong with a lens)

Lepper - Well as many say you can always go f/4 with a 2.8 but you can never go 2.8 with a f/4  What you need is what you should get but that extra stop is always nice :P

Zennon - Your lens possibly front/back focussing? Does your camera have micro adjustment? That would be my guess. Also what are your settings when you take a photo? Softness at 2.8 is not uncommon with the Sigma’s. There QC is terrible.

Sidd – IS motors are like that, there is nothing to be worried about!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
