those lens working fine with nikon D SLR. the macro built with those lens Paul had isn't that good. if you want true macro, you need to get a dedicated lens. However, with those two lens, you will be fine except focus distance quite far. You might want to pickup a closeup lens while you shop...

my best suggestion is try for yourself and ask question on each partiular case you need help on. with digital camera, it is much easier in learning since it is instant feedback. you can correct your photo right away or post picture for help. Most of time, read your camera manual and know how to...

Paul, the camera you selected is doing just fine for you.

I bought the filter set on group buy from air, water, ice. it has 10micron sediment filter, 5 micron carbon block and 1 micron carbon block.

Update, I change all my filter and try to flush the membrane but the TDS still report very bad. I then change the membrane and voila, the TDS reading before the DI is max at 8 and min at 4. Olivier

mbodell, thank you for help. I live in Somerville, NJ. are you in the area? I will try to suggestion tonight and report back.

Thank you for such clear up. I got it now. the flush unit mount parallel to the drain flow restriction. ah ha.. thanks I will dump out all of my water (storage) and collect new one. I will change my water on the weekend. hope this will help on greenish and brown algea

lastest update. I got home around 7:30 p.m today and my tank cover with brown algea. god, less then 24hours and this already bloom. I did change all of my RO filter. I now have zero reading on my TDS on output right after the DI stage. before the DI is 56 this is my RO/DI setup. from left to...

thank you for your replies and help. I will follow your suggestion. I will mix my sand everytime i do water change.

Mbodell, how do i flush my ro membrane? Olivier

thank you all for replies. I will change my filter stage to small grid size then. I have first filter in 50micron and carbon filter in 5 micron and then 1 micron sediment filter. I will change to 1micron, .5micron and .5micron to see how tds look like. will report back on wednesday.

I think the reefcentral has the calculator for the sandbed on their front page left side column

Wendy, pods are good. I need those pods. my water nitrate, nitrite, amonia are on mark. Slightly high in phosphorous 110 on TDS meter Olivier

I got those carbon for the filter. I get some in a bag and put in my tank sump then. thanks Olivier

Wendy, How long is the start of your greenish water since you setup the tank? my water turn into greenish in about 5 days of setup. I use RO water however, I do not know my DI water quality. would this be a problem? thank you for your response. Olivier

everyone, I just setup my tank and my water is a greenish when i did water change. However, when I view it in my tank, it is clear ( not cloudy). I get 100 gallons from Feng on his main display tank and his water is crystal clear in a 5 gallon bucket side by side in comparasion. any suggest...

anyone know where can I buy T5 retrofit kit? I already has the ballast for it. I am looking for those end cap kit so I can incorporate the light into my current light fixture. Second question - i have a 72 inches fixture, can I use 2-36 inches T5 bulb + endcaps end to end and correctly fit into...

thank you all for replies. I talked to MIKEM at the meeting and got his suggestion. I bought the wire wheel from auto part store and clean all dead stuff off. the rock is bared now. I got it all off. is it bad to have nutrient in the tank? the tank should naturally has nutrient anyway right?

I got whole buch of old rock (dead) and I put it back in my tank. However, when it in water, I saw those old green hair alge still attach to the rock (white color instead of green). Should I be worry about these dead algea or should I take it out and remove the dead algea? I try to scratch it...

Don't use home depot sand. I learned it by using home depot on my 20 gallon testing tank. it WILL kill everything you have. I rather buy whatever amount of dead sand needed at Ocean Gallery II and seed it with 1 bag of live sand bag. this is a cheap way to go about. Make sure you clean the dead...
