new camera shots

I got my D200 this weekend, thanks for holding it Herman

I've taken a few hundred shots of the tank so far, these are a couple that I liked.

 

[masterswimmer]

Looking good Billy Ray............ :biggrin:

 

[bad coffee]

Nice. What kind of fish is in the second pic?

 

[romain]

Only two out of a few hundred shots? We need more.

And the 2nd one is a scopas?

 

[jhale]

okay some more, and yes that's a scopas tang.

so which one is correct?

 

[aaron23]

interesting.

 

[jhale]

so which one is correct?

you tell me i ran all the test twice to check them.

consider this a pre-curser to the big test-kit test off Herman and I are going to do soon.

I'm most concerned about the alk in my tank being low, the CA reactor is not working as expected.

Regardless the growth inn my tank has been pretty good.
I'm buffering the alk up to 9 over the next few days :anger2:

 

[masterswimmer]

JH, Those are scarey results dude. Have you checked any of the expiration dates on them? I know Salifert has an exp. date on the box top. I don't know about the others.

Where do we begin now?

[Deanos]

Ca only 300 on the Salifert?! :scratch: That's an issue.

 

[jhale]

the salifert test kits are older 1 year ?, did not check yet, the seachem and elos are new.

 

[masterswimmer]

Dumb question Jon, are you sure the alk/dkh tests are all three using the same scale? I know others have gotten confused. Poop happens. It would be the best explanation for you!

[jhale]

I believe they are, but I'll double check in the am. maybe the seachem is not, that reading is weird.
thanks for the tip.
