I'd be interested to see how you get on with your photography using the ADA NAG. From what I've seen the green rendition is awesome, but perhaps at the expense of other colours slightly...

possibly mate. However, my ADA NAMH, and even the geissman tropic give off a yellow tone. I'm not really a fan of it.

I'll mix and match until i find a nice combo. The geissman midday is a nice T5 lamp though.

Here, you can see the reflectors are slightly different to the normal 'hammered' look. Extremely polished to.

In preparation of the tank coming next week, I'm off to buy the parts for my lighting stand.

It'll be the same as whats on my 60cm.

Everything is just about in place now. :D
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' All geared up.

The decision has been made!...Gravel foreground! :D

I've bought a really nice gravel for £2.50.. One of those big bags too. Just washed it and letting it dry out.
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' All geared up.

I've just done a quick test with the gravel, in a nano. It looks real nice 8)

I'm also going to do something a bit different with it...may work, may not. My early test shows it works ;)

I cant wait to take some :D

I've been doing something i never ever do!....drawing layouts. It's surprising how different your ideas can be when doing this.

I've got a gem, but again, not the balls to try it.

No mate. I put that in. Just to see if it works, before i ordered the ADA NAG green.

Geissmann though, used to make the ADA lighting.
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' All geared up.

Lol. Be brave once you get back home and post up your sketch so we can see how it matches the reality :)

I'm terrible for doing this in MS Paint before I get all the gear. Doesn't work out too bad though.

Some how i missed this thread! o_O

Mark, spectacular kit list and as you know i am big fan of the ADA system. As you say it just works! The results should be stunning. I am using ADA substrate system with Tropica and the results have been great on my lounge tank. :thumbup:

That light is very special! Cant wait to see it up and running. Hows about a video showing the light coming on and getting to full brightness?

Keep up the detail on the journal it makes a great read!

I may just do that Andy :thumbup: tomorrow in fact.

I've just picked up the tank from Ed. As Luis pointed out, it's fabulous! And big?...an understatement! It's massive!!!!!

The 'big' pieces of manzi wood I've got...some 1m long, look small now :lol:

Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Tank and cabinet arrive!

And ultra heavy :wideyed:
No excuses for you now :p but I don't think we will have to wait long.
I bet first thing in the morning you do is getting the dust off the manzi box.
 
Re: 120 x 55 x 55 'Ruby' Tank and cabinet arrive!

just sat the geissmann over the tank. Man, is this an awesome light.

with 2 x 54t5 and both 150w MH running, the light spill is so little. Geissmann's claim, that light spill is a minimum, due to refelctor design...and they're right. Most of the light goes in the tank. :angelic:
