that looks pretty close to what I've got. There's a few different species *from that genus* that could be what I have actually. *sigh* Well, they're not doing much harm at the moment, so I think I'm going to end up leaving them be. I have experienced cures that were worse that the disease in this tank before, so unless they start to really damage other life, I'm not going to do anything about them.

Great to hear Adam, how are you liking the microscope so far? I per-say "bandwagoned" and purchased the exact same one after you posted the link, still waiting for it in the mail.

^^^ That being said your still welcome to some frags :razz:. We will have to do a mini tank tour, I really want to see your beasty in action.

Yah man, you should come by this weekend if you've got a chance. And the scope is great, I shopped around a lot and for the feature set I don't think there was a better deal. I've seen the camera that comes with it sold separately on a couple of sites for almost as much as I payed for the whole package. However, the driver CD that came with the scope camera kept failing to install, it would tell me that I needed an X86 chip, which I'm almost 100% certain my computer does have, so I'm thinking the driver software might only work on 32 bit computers. I ended up having to download a different generic video capture app called AMCap to get the camera to work. The free version works well enough, but it was developed by one independent guy so I paid for it anyway.

I dunno, I've had one for years and it's my favorite reef toy :) I think next frag swap I host, I'll put it out for people to play with!

sorry.. I should read the thread from start to finish rather than the other way around...

I'd love one of those! Wonder if you can get one with a camera/sensor commercially ?
