Well I had a Jawfish, Mr Peepers, and I dont know what happened other than to think that he got weak. Maybe needed some target feeding, I just dont know. Came home one day and he was being cleaned up by the CUC. Hated that.
FTS not any good ones anyway. I want to post a couple of FTS to show you some of the caves that I was talking about. I think you have a similar layout for your LR and it might be easy enough for you. Just a thought.

Maybe he died from embarrassment of being called Mr. Peepers

Ill try to do that today. The problem I am having is that I only have a couple of point and shoot style cameras. They work well for the close ups on the corals because they are waterproof and I can stick em down in there with the corals. Makes great shots when I can see what I am shooting. I hope to get me a nice camera in the next month or 2. Looking at the digital SLRs. May post a question about some price vs quality. I have found what I think are some nice ones around $400.00 to $600.00 but would really like to see if there are options that are cheaper but still great quality.

I have a Canon Rebel XTi. The stock lens is pretty good, I bought a 50mm Macro lens and it's amazing. My mother has a Nikon D50 and that one is pretty sweet also. She has the stock lens that comes with it and it is really sharp. I think my next one will be a Nikon, just from using hers I love it.

If you dont mind give me some thoughts on the Nikon D50 vs the XTi. I have read some reviews on each but I just dont know. With what I want to do with them I dont think I want to get to high range. Would really rather buy corals for me to look at and make you people mad about my pictures.

lol i take that back about your thread being useless! bout time you got some pictures. gorgeous sailfin. tank looks good.
as far as the camera goes, it may depend on cost. i got my camera a few years ago & i am sure it has come down a lot. my moms camera cost around $800 and the canon i believe is going for around $ 650. i believe wolfcamera has free shipping and no taxes if bought online
i do love my canon.

I have been lazy about posting pictures. I needed the kick in the shorts. As far as the camera goes I am just not sure I want to spend $800.00 right now. I will look for some options and may ask some more questions before I buy. Thanks for the help! Thanks for the compliments on the tank. Its starting to get some color to it. For the longest it seemed everywhere you looked it was rock this and rock that. I now have about 20 frags or maybe 25 with the frags I fragged. I need to start on some SPS. I have a lot of softies.
You cant really see them but I have some polyps, the yellow ones with the long eyelashes. They are multiplying like crazy!
