    New camera with great macro........

    Right now I have a cannon SD630 elph. I can take micro shots pretty good if the corals are up to the glass. But at the same time when it comes to lighter pinks they always turn out grayish... Thanks everyone for the help.

    Pictures of the 28 gallon JBJ HQI!!!!!!

    I just found pics of the 28 gallon JBJ HQI in action and with more than enough pics to allow people to have an opnion. After looking at the link from nano-reef tell me what you think. I'm on board especially seeing the skimmer work! I was kind of iffy on the skinner but it looked pretty good...

    Tomee, When you state "recalled" are you talking about the NEW 28 JBJ tanks? Hmmm I never heard of that but I'm about to look online and search for more information. I'm about 1 day away from purchasing one or atleast putting a reservation on one. Thanks

    PFO 14 inch 20000K Solaris LED Lighting Fixture

    I heard those leads are diffrent than what they use. I talked to my lfs store and he's going to invest into these lights once another competitor comes up with their own fixtures. He said he'd save more than enough in the long run especially with electricity.

    Mixing Water

    You can either buy catalina water which cost alot! Or you can just mix your own. Everyone has their choice of salt and their opnion and why. I use "instant ocean". Why, I don't know it was just there. Just make sure you use RO/DO water and follow the directions. Then test the specific gravity...

    I have a new hobby and it saves money on food!

    Hmmm... I just got home and jus turned on my light. The protopalythoa was half way open? The ones I feed the 1/4 of an inch piece of bristle was fine. But "Big Daddy" was half way open. I'll wait for an hour with the lights on a respond back. I think he's fine, he was probably leaning over...

    aiptasia anemones

    You can do that too but its just a pain. Joe's juice come with a pin point injector that fit right into their mouth. Just stick it in there and it will close up on the injector and let them have it! If it does get on any corals just wave it off and their fine. I heard not to do too many at a...

    I have a new hobby and it saves money on food!

    I was target feeding my zoa/paly/protopalys with mysis,cyclo and brine. I was noticing my protopalythoas can take five mysis but then again their as big as a quarter and as bigger than a half dollar with its skirts! I was amazed how fast and how much they can eat. Usually I just blow them with...

    new finds in tank

    Dancefish, Isn't it amazing what you'll observe by just watching the tank. I watched my tank for about 30 minutes, which I haven't did in awhile and found alot of new items. Great way to relax until the tank crashes then your stress is 10 times! ha,ha,ha

    Tips on shipping corals?

    Jesse, The lagest and whatever can fit in that after. I learnt to loosly wrap the coral with a flatten bag (meaing when the bags come new, their flat) so it acts like a protector. I've seen this at my LFS's in San Francisco, I guess it would work the same for shipping. Yeah, just PM me...

    Cheap Nano + 46g sump

    Go on craigslist.com or ebay.com I have seen some good deals on both. If you can find one near your area on craigslist you should be more than happy to drive the distance. Ebay is great but just remember the shipping charge.
