RO filter is driving me insane!

Posted: January 21st, 2011, 4:46pm CST by Tremayn

Hey people,I have a marine RO filter. It was fitted with a tank so that it could be used for drinking water as well. Lately it makes soooo much of noise! Its always humming, moaning n stuff. Really a pain in the butt! Does this normally happen or is something wrong? It is under the kitchen sink and it is on its side as thats the only way it could fit. This is it in the box

Please can someone help me in determining if the following Water purification unit would supply pure enough water to use for water topups and also as water changes mixed with salt?

Filtration -
PPF (sediment filter, removal of sand silt, dirt and rust particles)
UDF (Reduction of odour, taste, chlorine and halides, deleterious substances, Fe, Hydroxybenzene, As, Hg, Al, CHC13, CC14)
CTO (Reduction of odour, taste, chlorine and halides, common organic matter and micro-organisms, extremely tiny particles, suspended substances and colloids)

Its a 3 cartridge system with changeable filters.

Thanks!
ISO, Apperture and Shutterspeed WHAT?

Posted: January 21st, 2011, 12:17pm CST by Jaco Schoeman

Photographic guru's...

I need your help...

I have recently bought the Fuji Film HS10 bridge camera. It has all the functionality as a DSLR, shoots in RAW etc. etc.

Here's the spec:

FinePix HS10 / HS11 | Fujifilm Global

Now, shooting the kids whilst busy pulling the dog's tail etc. is one thing, but taking photos of gorgonian polyp's is another.

I am really struggling to get my head around this whole ISO, Apperture and Shutterspeed thing.

I have seen the movies, read google but there are no real advise out there on how to take good aquarium photos.

Taking into consideration my water is much more blue than it is white due to more actinic light, what are the basic rules then of taking nice photos of coral, and then of fish?

Should I use Macro Functions, what ISO should I use, Shutter Speed etc?

I know there are no real ABC answer here as there are many factors, but where do I start. What is a good average ISO, average apperture etc to use?

Thank you!!!
