    I want to take some good quality pics of my tanks, but my camera is old and outdated. I was wondering what digital cameras you good photographers have been using, Canon, Olympus, Kodak? I want the smaller thin style ones, comparable to my Elph. Any input is appreciated. Donnie ***)

    Pyramidellid problems!

    I have lost 4 clams over the past year to theses little bas*ards! I bought a sixline about six months ago and yet I still see them once in a while cruising the glass at night. Is there any other fish that eats them as well? My tank is a 200g and I cannot house a clam until I rid my tank of them.

    Going for a third tank!

    Well I think I might be in for a third tank. I am debating whether to do a nano 12g DX or a 24g nano or a uniquarium with the whole setup. I am leaning towards the 24 with unusual fish but I really want a blue carpet with some clowns. I know the 24 doesn't have enough watts per gallon so I am...

    Sundial Snail!

    I just pulled one out and I have him in captivity. I watched him chow a whole colony of Zoos until I realized it wasn't just a shell but actually alive. Should I keep it in my fuge or send to the briny deep of my trash can. I can't believe he ate the whole colony! :mad:

    Moonlights

    Again with the moonlights. I just setup my 200 reef and it has a hanging MH fixture. I have moonlights on my 75 reef and was thinking of adding 3 or 4 to the 200. I don't know if there is a benefit other than looking good at night. I have been told that they help coral growth, true or...

    My Lyre tail wrasse has one small spot about an eighth of an inch diameter below his jaw, under his mouth and back a ways. He seems to be swimming angled tail up at a 45 degree angle. He seems to flitter a bit but not really acting sick but not totally well either. All other fish are fine, I...
