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!

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
