Okay, finally got the camera to take some decent pictures. Still, they aren't so great. Anyone there know a great camera I can buy for under $200? We have a crappy Sony Cybershot 3.2mp and hoping to buy a new one this weekend, but am on a budget. Everyone's pics always look great! Mine however, well...
So anyway! We had a blast (my fiancee and I) at the CORA swap this weekend. And after a very long year and a half of keeping our FOWLR tanks alive and well while doing coral research (and saving $$) we finally got our first 23 frags!
And all for $160. Many great buys were to be found. Can't wait till next year!

Sorry can't get the stupid pictures to show so here's the links.
Up first, our damsel investigating the new frogspawn

Hoping this mushroom will multiply quickly without taking over the tank!

Green w/maroon skirt zoos (we totally just made that name up)

Pulsing xenia is so fun to watch! Has more personality than most of our fish.

Our damsel and dragon/sleeper goby checking out their new tankmates. Our awesome GSP's are in the top middle. Sorry the pics suck. New camera is a priority.

Very nice.. good luck... and FYI the 5th picture down is a Yellow star Polyp not a sun polyp they are a species of Zoanthid. And your Purple/green shroom will get huge. Mine gets eaisily 3" in diameter when its full open.
