Manny What size are the inlets? 1/2" 3/4" or 1"

D2X, nice. Can't wait to see some pics!

-Wow I didn't know that about the focusing system on the 5D that's pretty lame, especially for high speed sports related photography that Canon basically owns with it's following of their long lenses (ie. sideline pictures at any sporting event). -Your right I don't crop many shots...

D700 vs 5D MKII I guess if you don't have any previous lenses that IS a hard choice. I'm sure you know these things already but just pointing out to all that the Canon 5D MKII can shoot HD (1080p) video, like the Nikon D90- the D700 can't. So if that's important to you then that's a pretty...

Alex and Kiwi- Wow, this really sucks, I just saw this thread. So sorry to hear about it, but glad that you're still going to be around. Truly best of luck on all your future endeavors. What are your hours like nowadays?

Some more Bronx Zoo Handheld/ no flash/ 5400 ISO/ @207mm so it's a little soft- but still got a picture: Handheld/ no flash/ 6400 ISO/ @116mm so it's a little soft- but still got a picture:

Nikon D700 Here are some more pics from the D700; as requested. These are all with my 20 year old lenses: 28mm-85mm & 70mm-210mm. These are from the Bronx Zoo. @210mm

Randy I don't believe so, but I don't honestly know off hand. I just know that all tanks go through the ph swing from day vs night light cycles. So it doesn't sound like that's enough of a reason to switch then I'd stay with the more potent original formula. Thanks.

I'm running low on ESV 2-part. Anyone use ESV's B-Ionic System and have you switched to the newer 'Calcium Bicarbonate System' vs the original 'Calcium Buffer System'? Any opinions? Benefits? According to ESV: B-Ionic Calcium Bicarbonate System is a specially formulated, lower pH version of...

kool-cat: That's where I was headed- and in the name of saving $, but then I thought this bulb replacement expense is divided over a years time and if I got a no name off ebay that was somehow off spectrum or less PAR would I really be saving $ if I had to then go out and buy what I ended up...

Full Tank Shot. Ohhh right, haha I'll take some pics when I get a chance to do a little cleaning up. It's not ready for prime time yet!

Hey what's a FTS? not familiar with the acronym?

I can attest to this, although mine is an EV-240 I get the same type of sometimes no froth and sometimes it slowly accumulates all the way up to the skimmer cup. I always do get scum collecting on the sides of the clear canister just above the black box that I have to clean in my maintenance...

Went with XM's- Much Brighter Just wanted to provide a follow up on this thread: I went with 10k XM's (175 watt) and am thoroughly impressed with the added brightness compared to the previous 'Blue Line Super White' bulbs I've been using for a number of years. The added brightness/PAR is very...

Yeah I figured that, I was going to see how things progressed and change them as needed, it sounded a little arbitrary. Do you recall for your setup how long the filters lasted? I'm running it at the minimum 2.5 gpd (for everyone else's info that's approx. a 75 gallon water change per month!)...
