I am looking for a nice macro zoom lens for my canon EOS rebel. I found a used Canon Auto Focus 35-105 F3.5-4.5 Macro lens for about $150. I want to be able to take good clear really close-up shots of corals in my tank. Is this lens good? If not, could you suggest an alternative. Thanks, Angela

Does anyone have a Pentax Optio 33L? If so, how do you like it? I am looking for a good digital camera mostly to take pictures of my tank. I'm really interested in taking really cool close-ups. Can anyone post pictures they have taken w/this camera? Thanks, Angela

I have an ammonia monitor. It changes color at the slighest elevation of ammonia

A friend of mine just came back from Jacksonville FL and brought me some critters back. 1. "Classic" looking starfish - Sandy bround color: I'm pretty sure these are sand sifting stars. I was going to put them in my reef tank, but after reading some post here it sounds like this is not a good...

Hey I saw you one and was just wonder whatcha doing? :p Angela

My open brain coral that is...:D I just bought it about 2 weeks ago. For the first week, it didn't seem to 'puff up' at all. Now, it is 'puffing up' a little only at night. When I turn the lights on in the morning is is somewhat puffed up, but when I get home in the evening, it is back to...

Wow, how big is that clam in that last picture? Beautiful Tanks!

It was actually a really good deal that I found on a used 110 gallon tank that someone else was selling. I was going to get it myself, but I don't really have the room, so I was just passing it on so that someone else might get it. Since it wasn't actually my tank, that may have been why it...

My lfs just got some of those same starfish from someone in Florida. He is trying to find out what they are and if they are reef safe or not. They are very pretty though. I'm glad I found this thread, because I was thinking about buying one. Instead, I've printed the thread and will take it...

I have several aiptasia on the same rock as a small xenia I bought a few weeks ago. The lfs told me to be careful, that peppermint shrimp would eat the xenia and the aiptasia. Is this true? What other method is best for getting rid of aiptasia? Thanks, Angela

It was the one with the 110 gal w/ all accessories I found. Just wanted to check cause I couldn't find the post. Sorry if it was, just wanted to know so I can avoid it in the future! :) Thanks, Angela

I have a 5 gal FOWLR on my desk. I love looking at it! My boss has considered setting up a larger tank in the office, but he thinks it would be to much upkeep. Maybe I can talk him into it one day Angela :D

Anyone?

I just bought a small green open brain coral. When I got home I noticed a 'wound' and you could see one of the skeletal ridges. Upon closer inspection, I could see something moving inside the wound. It was a very tiny crab of some kind. I removed the crab with a small pair of tweezers...

I just came home to find my BTA stuck in one of my powerheads. It is still attached to the rock, but all of it's tenticals are in the powerhead's intake. I turned the powerhead off, but have not tried to remove the BTA yet. Is it going to die? Do I need to remove it before it does? I have...

Thanks for the replys everyone. I did do a 10 gal water change the end of June. Test are as follows: Ammonia: 0 Nitrite: 0 Nitrate: 10 Ph: 8.2 Until about 2 weeks ago, this was all I was testing for. I started dosing calcium then, and today calcium test showed 600. (I'm working on getting...
