Hi Dantrasy, Wow That is a big one
A forum friend on the other side of the country (Australia) has built me a reactor. This is the first bit of aquarium equipment I've purchased this year, I'm real excited about it. From what I understand he has spent months perfecting the design and it works unbelievably well. It's almost 2ft tall. I should receive it in the post next week. So no more gurgling gas build up in the little sera 500 for me.
Yes, it's ridiculously big for a 2ft tank .... but ... things are afoot! I have the green light with my wife to get a new tank All I know at this stage is that it will probably be 4ft (at least 3ft). Maybe 120x40x35. 2x2ft Ikea stands, custom tank and the rest I'll work out later.
I would like to see that too.Great news about the new tank!
Have you got any pics or description of how the inside of the reactor works?
At least the ones I used are pieces of tinted plastic to be mounted in a frame before your lens. The filter has a very smooth transition (the most common is a neutral tinted one, there are of several colors but the final effect is not very natural of course) from dark to transparent. When putting the tinted part against the sky and adjusting the transition at the horizon, it allows you to compensate areas that have a very different level of light, which are very difficult to balance in the final shot. In other words, it gives uniformity and allows you to better control all the areas of the picture. I'm pretty sure there is something than can be done with Photoshop, but these filters are quite cheap compared to other pieces of equipment and work very well for landscape photography (and probably also very tanks!)Or is the filter attached to the camera lens?
