Wonderful photos, you will have to give me lessons.

How do you folks get such lovely, clear, macro photos. I do not have a didital srl but have cameras that I can put on manual settings if required. Do you use a tripod?

Yup. I borrow Mum's(Tine) Canon Digital SLR, a tripod is a must with any macro shots. My little personal pocket Canon does nice shots too if mounted on a tripod.

I picked this up at Oceanic Corals yesterday for $10.00.

Looking at the mouth I expect the Millennium Falcon to fly out!

I see something else there,,, :lol:

the tank is looking really good man .

For a tank that small it looks exquisite. We getting another FTS?

Nice Refugium light.
I love custom work. Always has the most pleasing pay off.
I was wondering what the CD Case mod your talking about is tho.
I tried googling it with saltwater and surface skimmer with no prevail :cry:

Glad you have come out of hiding...tank looks great! :biggrin: I second the full tank shot.
Maybe when you return the tripod you can take a few pictures, while you're there. :wink:

Great looking piece Keith, did you get any thing else?

Yep I am back. The birth of my 2nd lovely daughter last October put the tank on the back burner. My usual regular weekly water changes fell to about twice a month or worse and as a result I lost 90% of my zoas, the porite stone with the xmas worms and giant feather duster. Most of my coralline has gone too so I'm guessing the main harm done was not replacing the needed minerals as my cheato was keeping up with the nutrient export quite nicely. Surprisingly regardless of my neglect the frogspawn, green Digitata and large green candy-cane corals thrived and have outgrown the 12 gallons so I will be looking to trim and trade them soon I think.

I am taking the Summer off from work to look after my new daughter as my wife returns to her work and so when I am not changing diapers, grinding food, shopping or ferrying my eldest around the city I am looking at my tank again with renewed interest. Stay tuned for more pictures as well as an updated FTS although currently the tank does not look as nice as it previously did.
