    Shrinking Xenias

    You need to check your Nitrates and phosphates.. Xenia like nitrates and actually help knock down nitrate levels, but if you have excesive nitrates the xenia can become overwhelmed. I think 25 or higher is bad (it's bad for the tank anyway)..

    Bleached out RBTA

    Angelscrx. As for your phos.. Are you using an RO/DI unit. I would. The tri-cities dosses it's water pretty good, and there are a lot of harmfull chemicals in it for fish.. You may also have to put some phosguard in your tank. My understanding on phosphates is that if they get into your...

    Need Opinion

    I agree with most of the other comments posted here by Reedman and Ed. You really need to wait for your tank to mature (cure). You tank is not ready for an anenome.. The problem with them is sometimes they take a long time to die. So they will look alright for a couple months and by then...

    Camera settings

    Llarian, I'm sorry I should rephase that you can bump up your ISO as High as possible, until noise appears, and then step down one (might need to play a little to figure this setting out).

    Camera settings

    Camera Settings.. ISO: You want to try to set this as high as you can. This will allow you to shoot a higher shutter speeds under lower or low light (or smaller apature, see below for explaination). The downfall is that with many digital cameras the higher the ISO the more noise you photo...
