Yeah so glad I upgraded from my 550D. Lens is Canon EF 100mm L IS USM f2.8, Flash is the Canon 600 speedlite which i had facing down from the top of my tank and I use the speedlite transmitter ST-E3-RT.

My settings on my camera, well I set mine to Manual F10, ISO is at 160, spot metering and white balance set to shade. Not sure what other settings to post, if you need any others I've missed let me know

hi mate great pics.... I have a canon EOS 400D and i use manual settings F16 ISO800 and Shutter speed 250... I find the faster shutter speed eliminates shake or blur in the shots... But still self teaching my self... lol... Next lot i try will be ISO 1600 and shutter speed 320...

Yeah I'm not much better but I've had some guidance from a guy who's a pro, he's taken some of the most amazing fish photos I've ever seen, I'd love to post a few but I'm not sure of the copyright n stuff :D

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.

      Is this garden hose end alloy pipe safe to use for aquarium piping?

      By Subtlefly · Posted

      Yes it’s super accurate to position where I want now and stay there- I am satisfied.  All the fish and shrimpers are doing excellent! Coming up on 4 years running!

      You must be pleased with that, it looks better and is much more robust and less likely to damage or leaks! The tank looks very natural now it has been running for a time. I see the ember tetras, how are the blue shrimp doing, I see a few? The cat and dog look very content and unimpressed, lol.
