  photos with macro rings.

  Posted: February 16th, 2011, 3:59pm CST by clinton stanford

  hi guys.
  
  i managed to get some macro rings from a mate of mine.Macro lenses are flippin expensive so i thought i would give it a try.
  it is very tricky regarding lighting ect ect.you need lots of light and i used a very high ISO setting and a fast shutter speed.
  you can only shoot in Manual mode and on manual focas.attached to the rings was my 18-55mm Nikkor lens.
  
  the pics have nothing to do with marines...but i thought i would share them with you guys anyway;)
  
  any advice would be appreciated:)
  here the pics.

  clinton's new 1.5 upgrade

  Posted: May 18th, 2010, 1:29pm CDT by clinton stanford

  well the time has come to finally order the glass for my new 5ft:jiggy:
  after my sump cracked two weeks ago,i thaught..stuff this,i will never build anything less than 10mm ever again! so i spoke to my fiance,told her what i had planned,it took a while to get the go ahead but i got it;) this system is going to cost a arm and a leg..maybe both legs:lol: but like i explained to my fiance,i will be building something that i have always wanted,a system that will last me for a long long time (touch wood) we all know that things happen in this hobbie,but we must just be prepared for these things, so a lot of planning has been done and it sounds great!
  
  i have always said that if i had to build another tank there would be a lot that i would change.i have learned a hell of a lot from my first (current) system.wich has all helped in the planning for the 5ft.
  
  Leslie will be building the tank and sump:) Les has helped a lot with the planning and we have come up with some good ideas.
  
  ok so this is whats going to be happening.
  
  Tank - 1.5L X 700w x 600h.
  front and two side payne's will be 12mm starfire:yeahdude:
  the back and the base will be 10mm.braced all round top and bottom with centre brace over the top just to be safe. external back overflow.
  we have not decided on the plumbing yet.either 50mm single outlet or two 32mm outlets.
  all done in black silicone. 630Ltrs
  
  Sump - 1.2L x 400w x 400h.
  will be 10mm and in clear silicone.wont be as complicated as my previos sump.
  three comp: 192Ltrs
  
  1st - skimmer
  
  2nd - DSB
  
  3rd - return with a ATU comp.
  les came up with a nice idea for a refuge.will show you guys when i start posting pics.
  
  stand - 38mm x 38mm squire tubing with a 2mm wall thickness.
  will have two centre braces running from top to bottom aswell just for extra support.and galvenised.
  
  i will be using my trusty TS2 for the meantime.untill i can get some cash together for a new skimmer.
  
  flow - Les managed to get me a squid (scwd - surging current water director) still looking for another one.will also have my two seio's m820's.
  
  then its the big day.taking the old system down,removing everything.put the new system in place ect ect.its going to be a huge job! just hope my livestock will all be fine!
  
  firstly i just wanto say a huge thankyou to Leslie for all the effort he has put into this build already,planning,qoute's ext ext.and for offering to build this tank for me.
  i dont think i would want anyone else doing this build...les has some amazing skills when it comes to a lot of things but speacialy when it comes to marines and building tanks.shot buddy;)
  
  then to Justin Mace for building my light unit.it should be done by the time the new tank is ready.its going to look great.
  
  last but not least to all you guys here on MASA who have really made this a awesome site.i have learned a hell of a lot from MASA and still do every day.
  
  i know you want pics,but i have absolutely nothing to take pics of yet so as we get the ball rolling there will be a shit load of pics! promise:)

  DSB out for a while.

  Posted: May 4th, 2010, 11:07am CDT by clinton stanford

  hi Hennie.
  
  my sump cracked last week friday:( my DSB has been running for eight months now and there is a lot of life in there.
  so i had to remove my DSB from the sump wich cracked and i have put it in a blastic tub for the meantime untill my new sump is biult.i have a loaned sump for the meantime.but i dont see the point in adding the DSB to the loan sump and then taking the whole DSB out again in (hopefully) a month or two.
  so what i wanto know is ,what would be the best way to try and keep all the life in there alive,including my macro algeas.i have the DSB lights over the tub.
  ill post a pic to show you what i have done.
  any advice would be appreciated:)
  thanks.
  
  
  
  this is what it will be in untill my new sump is built.

  Posted: October 5th, 2009, 5:11pm CDT by clinton stanford

  just wanted to share with you guys how we do water changes.we have a 1000L flow bin a 300w inverter and a nice pump wich pumps 800L of water in just under 30min.leslie hempel justin mace and myself do a 200L water change once a month and it basicly takes us a a morning or a afternoon for the three of us to do a water change.
  
  here are some picks.
