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!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
