Kool fish you got there, mind sharing what your "fu man chu" is eating and how you got it to start eating? Likewise with your pipe fish.

I started him with live Zebra Danios and Ghost shrimp then got him eating whole krill. Now he eats pretty much anything, I can even use a stick or forceps to individually feed him and the other guys in that tank. The pipefish just eats bugs

Wow, fabulous pics and gorgeous corals! You have a beautiful collection.

I noticed that you mentioned one day maybe picking up a Nikon D300, it's a terrific camera! We have a couple of Nikon D200's that my husband and I use. We opted for two D200 for when we go out shooting....we've enjoyed them very much.

Keep the pics coming....they're amazing!

One day I hope to, but not anytime soon.

Looking good Steve! Try playing around with your exposure +/- a little and see if you like the difference. Get the tripod out as well and get the ISO lower, it makes a world of difference with the macro!

Can't wait to see what your new toy can do!

I have been playing with the +/- setting, finding a little on the plus side lightens up the picture a little allowing for a quicker or sharper shot.

I hate using the tripod, what I find works quite well is resting the lens shade right against the glass which always gives you that perpendicular angle and supports the camera.

I did post some pics with the 300 here

My tank looks just like that only different.
