Shortfin Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Sweet! I had recently "upgraded" from a D90 within the year and am really liking it. I use the Kenko auto extension tube set DG. Can't really say how it works with auto though, as I use focus manually. -Duffy When I had the extension tube, I use it with a 50mm 1.8 lens, auto focus first then switch to manual. My collection is a N80QD (door shell clip broken recently), D40, and D7k. Right now I'm using an old 28-105 lens with a macro 2:1 feature for shrimp pics. Still need to get the SB-700 flash and a macro lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went with a cheaper flash and it works great, but definitely want to upgrade it sometime. -Duffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Duffy, How do you position your flash? Directly above? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted January 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 I know it's not the greatest picture. But, this shrimp sure likes to move around alot. This blue Sulawesi cardinal has devolped a stripe down it's back. The stripe wasn't there last week. It's also possible this is a different shrimp. I can''t be 100% sure. This is the shrimp from last week The others are from today. Shrimpie, Greenteam, Steve R. and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff0712 Posted January 31, 2015 Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 Duffy, How do you position your flash? Directly above? haahaa. I just attach it to the top of my camera. I should be doing from the top or angling it different, Just been too lazy to figure out how to do so. mayphly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 That purple is outstanding! What type of light? I'm guessing blue leds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayphly Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Very low 10W lighting in 10g tank. That moss is caloglossa which was cooked by ferts from another tank in an experiment that went wrong. It's actually dying in the pic. Thats why the shrimp are eating it. The next day it was gone. Too bad it doesn't stay that color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenteam Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Woopderson is that a mix of different PRL's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woopderson Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Hi Green, When I purchased them originally from Randy, we thought they were just plain CRS. But they have been breeding true for over a year now, throwing no real variations. I have also not had any goldens come out of there. After discussing with Randy we concluded that the line is pure. I have yet to start culling, but for the most part they are s/ss grade. The SSS MK-Breed you see in the pic above is one that I had won in the competition Randy held last year. Now that she is pregnant I think it is time to cull, and turn the tank into an SSS PRL tank. Woopderson is that a mix of different PRL's?
