    Superzoom camera

    I saw that review as well as a few others. It seems the p100 and basically all other superzoom cameras have picture quality on par with other point and shoots. The p100 quality wasn't bad they felt it didn't stand out vs a normal point and shoot. Don't know if I will be able to get away from...

    Superzoom camera

    Hi all, I am in the market for a new camera, currently have a small point and shoot which I like for general stuff and use for underwater photos. I was thinking of buying a superzoom since I don't want to spend too much on a Dslr an I need it to be somewhat compact when I go on my next vacation...

    Salt of choice?

    Ive gone through a bunch. I was using red sea coral pro which I thought was good but my LFS stopped carrying it and told me that they liked Seachem better anyway. I switched to it and had some issues with it. Batches were inconsistent and mixed terribly. I had some SG problems as well as...

    Breeding Clams

    Any other thoughts on how they are aquacultured elsewhere? I dont see why this cant be simulated at home with the proper feeding and such.

    Fish Traps for Tangs

    My hippo tang wasnt able to hurt me and I was able to corrale him away from the reef before I cornered him. I do like the eggcrate idea though if you can move rocks to do it. My reef is too stuffed to do that and corals have grown across different rocks so I cant detach them.

    The best MUST HAVE tank food?

    I use New life spectrum for pellet and feed a bit in the mornings. I use seaweed attached to a piece of PVC for the grazers that I get at the asian market. As for Frozens, Mysis, frozen cyclops mostly. I also have some frozen scallops & silverslides to feed an anemone once and a while but I...

    Fish Traps for Tangs

    It may not be the best way but I used my hands. Use 1 hand and guide him into a smaller and smaller spot till you corner him. Cup your hands under him and out into a prefilled bucket or bag etc. You could wear gloves like dishwashing gloves, preferably unused ones if you see the need. Thats...

    heater gone mad

    You could always use the broken one to get buckets of replacement water up to temp before a water change.. I use my old somewhat busted powerheads and heaters for that purpose. I notice my heater went nuts because the chiller kept turning on so much and I realized that the heater was going at...

    I have a Hyacinth Bird Nest coral that has been growing fairly well since I got it over a year ago. I was even able to frag a piece off and it did well. Recently it started getting a bit of red algae growth on the tips of each piece. Well since that algae grew on it my potters angelfish &...
