Sexy sexy birdsnest. I agree with Phil - I want some too!

92F - I don't know how long that way, but stuff was crawling around and I put everything in the frag tank.

Maybe they thought you wanted snail soup? Lol

Did I read that right? 90F? How do they look?

Well, here's the result.

Glad it helped. Cameras tend to try to focus and when you can't, it refuses to cooperate.

Bingo! That did the trick. Thanks Marc. More photos coming soon.

Try drawing a big plus sign on the white paper for the camera to focus on. Pencil, or ink. Not too thick though.

And I get the above error message. Works in any other type of light though.

For "Custom" White Balance, you usually need to take a picture of "Something Naturally White" like a white sheet of paper illuminated by the Aquarium Lighting. Then tell your Custom White Balance to use that picture for White Balancing.

lol Money Pit. I haven't seen that movie in ages.

Always do, but for some reason I can't get my D5100 to set the white ballance to the tank lights. Always gives me an error "Can't read Data". So I typically use the bright sunlight setting and adjust the raw images with Nikon View.

It's like a line out of "The Money Pit": Just two (ahem ... four) more weeks.

I wonder what went wrong? It sucks when this happens, but when it happens again, and on a different tank, it down right depressing. Hang in there Marc.

WTH! Again... Man I'm late to this Blog.

Also try adjusting the custom white balancing if your camera has it (it should). This helped me take pictures that didn't need any post processing. HTH

Nuff said

if it was just the acrylic panel swelling and pressing on the sides, are they just going to cut it smaller and allow for more silicone buffer between it and the walls?

Marc, are they adding any additional bracing to the tank, or any other changes? I am excited about going to me first MACNA this yeah. I just booked my flight and room, can't wait.

Hi Melev! Around a month and a half ago I stumbled onto a thread you started about your 280 gallon reef build and followed it through thousands(!!) of posts. I read through to the leak and the new tank and followed your first year and the heart breaking leak of the 400 gallon. Wow, what a ride. It was entertaining and informative and I learned a lot in those hours of reading I just wanted to say thanks for posting so much information and sharing so much with the salt water community. I hope they get your tank fixed and back to you- I can only imagine how upsetting that is!
