Yeah I think I read someone's post where they were using 1.6 seconds which is what I have been playing with. I got my cheapo tripod from bestbuy for 18 bucks yesterday. It was 50% off.

And don't forget to turn your powerheads and possibly pumps off. At a very slow shutter speed the sway of polyps will be blurry :-)

It is quite a sight to see when you turn off all motion in your tank. My torch coral that is usually moving all over the place looks like it is frozen in time. It's really amazing.

Well I was trying to put something together using Eli's rock. (Fijireefrock.com) Still working on coral placement.

Ignore the one with the plug. I will be selling that one. The phone pic doesn't do the colors justice. One of these days I will break down and buy a macro lens.

If you look carefully, you can see the white frogspawn blending into the new rock at the front. I am going to cover the bottom in LPS and try some SPS up top. Who wants to donate some SPS. I will put little tags that say you sponsored that coral.

Nice rock work,...now get your saw out and start filling the rock with corals,
