If your using a simple camera like a phone. Placing yellow or orange plastic or premaid filter will cancel the blue lights and give a more natural photo. If you have a dedicated camera you something called white balance that takes it out for you
Nice pics. I hear ya. Love digital photography. Let’s us take as many shots as we want till we get what we want. I couldn’t imagine trying to take reef shots with film. It would be the most expensive part of this hobby hahaha
I’m sure you can get someone to wip one up. That stile stand is just plywood and formica. Super simple. I’d do it for you but I’m backed up with projects at the moment. Wonderful tank. Best of luck. And don’t forget to make a tale of the tank
Also I believe the inkbird 306 has two heater plugs and no chiller plug. But with that said. I still like the heat plus chill option as you could plug two heaters into it if you chose with an adapter. And still run a fan
Totally understand. But keep in mind. Two controllers. Twice the redundancy. And you can use the chiller receptacle to run a fan. So not only does it warn you if too hot. Will. Assist by turning on fan. That’s not a bad deal for 35 bucks.
One final note.
All heaters fail. Absolutely all. It is not if, it is when. Usually die in the off position but can and do die in the on. This is not to say a controller can’t fail they can. They just have better components and are a secondary fail safe.
Because of marks terrible...
I use the ink bird.
Pros...
Fairly inexpensive
Can control both heater and chiller (or fan)
Audible alarm
Cons...
Need a separate controller for every heater
Alarm is not particularly loud. I’m sure it is loud enough for most people but my sump is in basement and I can not hear it from...
That’s terrible. Glad I have a temp controller. But I barley trust it more than the heater. It seams we can’t trust anything in this hobby. One of my kessles crapt-out last week Kessle is replacing it but the point is even high end equipment fails. Redundancy is key. I loved your fat head...
