    Whats it going to cost me?

    i've seen some cool pictures with some of the nikon point and shoots with the macro attachment, alot of it is the photographer so you might try playing around with a less expensive camera to find what sort of things you like about cameras. Given i went straight for the macro lens, a tamron 90mm...

    What camera do you use?

    you don't need a macro lens, it helps, u can use close up kits, teleconverters or extension tubes to increase magnification, but macro lenses tend to yield the best quality i have a close equivelant to the d40, the d50, one main difference is that the auto focuses of many lenses don't work on...

    What photo forum do u use/suggest

    I've looked on the net for a photo forum that is specific for photography, but have yet to find one as much as i like reef frontiers for reefing, they seem a bit more divided by brand a lot of the time and was just curious as to which ones you all have found to be the 'best' or what not i have a...

    My Dream Tank, is it possible?

    i've found at least with the fish i've tried, no triggers yet or angels, that you should put in the more passive fish first and let them get established before the more aggressive ones, i had a yellow tang that after being in alone for 2 months killed any new occupants even a gold stripe maroon...

    blue coral method GH?

    well from what i've read, if you make the corals grow to fast using GH (L Glutamine from nutrition stores), not HGH in the States at least cause it's harder to get or something like that, growing too fast can lead to soft skeletons in some cases, and higher demands on water quality because the...

    blue coral method GH?

    I got glutamine at a GNC by my house, the guy thought i was kinda weird buying a mussle supplement for my coral... lol i mixed it just with oysters cause they're supposed to be one of the highest protein of the bunch, but i haven't been using it much since it caused a bit of algae breakout but i...

    Cheap PC, anyone have any thoughts?

    i know from what i've read that their stuff has been getting better, the bulbs are lower quality i think, being only like $10-15 i think rather than $20-25 so that reduces the cost a bit

    My Hawaii Trip

    Here's the last of the ones that i like pretty much still fish, not alive but it was good, my first time cooking marlin... a little tough left it on the grill too long made it a bit dry, the tuna was the best marinated in teriyaki sauce, and the whole fish is snapper stuffed with peppers and...

    Should i even waste my money?

    on my 55 gallon i have the CSS 220, i think the css65 might be a bit small for the 55 gallon, i have one on my 30 with a 30 sump and i kinda want to upgrade. only thing about css skimmers is the pumps are a bit loud for my liking, not terrible though, you also have to clean the venturi intake...

    FLATWORM invasion

    siphon as many as possible and then use flatworm exit or there's a fish that eats them i saw at barrier aquatics, i forget what it's called but i believe it's a wrasse of some sort, they had major flatworms and the fish cleaned the tank out real quick

    alk is high now

    what kind of test kit are you using, there was a batch of salifert test kits that were reading really high, so check perhaps with another test kit too, look into it a bit too if you are using salifert into the actual batch number
