Bella127
12-17-2009, 10:04 PM
Just hooked up the SL-2 Module. It took me a good hour to figure out to calibrate with no directions.lol I got it dialed in now.All I need is the net mod and I will maxed out on the four mod limit. 2 PC-4's 1 sl-2 and 1 Net Mod.

what lens are you using? I'm not a big fan of my D60 - I prefer to use my D300 instead
Bella127
01-08-2010, 05:45 PM
I would prefer to use your D300 as well lol. If I knew then what I know now I would of bought the D300 or at least the D90. The d60 will have to suffice until I upgrade.
I am using multiple lenses. 18 -55, 55-200, Tamron 90mm.

Update 4/1/2012
Well this tank has under gone massive changes . Thinned out the z's and p's and getting into SPS dominant . Got rid of the biopellets , Led's , and upgrade my mp40w to ES . LEDs were not working for me so I went back to halides and t5s . Lps changed colors and sps were getting bleached out . Picked up some Rhomboids from Reef Solutions . I am happy with my tank once again. It will take some time to get the color back , but I am patient . Here are some pics from the last year or so .
