    Rye-Question about a Canon S30

    Rye - Thanks for the input. I will try to make sure to take pictures with the camera more level. That maybe one problem. I have tried putting the camera right against the glass with the zoom all the way out but it still seems to have a hard time focusing. Maybe my glass is just too dirty and the...

    Rye-Question about a Canon S30

    I recently purchased a Canon S30. I am having trouble taking close up shots with this camera. I know the macro mode switch is the button with the symbol of a flower on it. When I switch the macro mode on I do not notice any difference in the shot. As well whenever I try to zoom in it never seems...

    Plate Coral turning white

    Yes it is located on the bottom of the tank. The tentacles are still out and green but part of the pink plate is turning white. Should I raise it up on to the rocks closer to the light? Also should I try to directly feed it? If so, what should I feed it? I do every 3 days add in Phytoplankton...

    Plate Coral turning white

    Jon, No I have never directly fed it and it has been in the tank for 1 month. I have 2-96 watt PC's on a 60 gal. There has never been any copper in this tank. All other corals are doing fine (frogspawns, sinulara, finger leather, mushrooms, open brain, claustrea). Thanks for responding.

The temp is 79 and it is sitting on the substrate in a medium current. I dose daily with 2 part Bionic. It is apparent that it is not doing well. What...

    ack! i think my peppermints ate my maxima

    I had a very similar experience with my maxima. By the time I came home from work the foot was gone and it was on his side. I thought it could be the emerald crabs the shrimp or my brittle star. I really wish I knew what happened to it. It was fine for over a month and then gone within a day. I...

    Chicago Area Stores

    It is great to see so many reefers from the area. I live downtown and unfortunately there are only a couple of stores to choose from. Have any of you ever been to Old Town Aquarium on Wells just south of North Ave.? They have a great selection of saltwater fish and corals. They have been in...

    Clown w/ cloudy eye

    Do any of the sharks or anyone else have any suggestions? Should I try using liquid garlic in the food for now or should I remove into h tank and begin some other treatment? What is the best way to treat a cloudy eye?

    Clown w/ cloudy eye

    I have a 10 gal. tank and a small Rena 50 air pump. I have been reading some of the other posts regarding h/qt tanks. It looks like I still need a small filter,heater and some hiding place(PVC). It looks like I can use water from my main tank and then just do daily water changes to start the...

    Clown w/ cloudy eye

    I just recently purchased a 60 gallon tank that was already established for 2 years. I was able to keep about 30G of the original water during the move. The tank contains a saddleback clown and a yellow tail damsel. Also about 70lbs of LR and 30lbs LS. There are a half dozen or so corals as...
