u have a super camera. I cant take clean pics like that with the one I have..

 

[oceansidefish]

It's a Panasonic Lumix Tz5 it's gret up in the front of the tank, say where my plate and nem are. I do loose clarity the further back I take pics though. Not a bad camera though, I highly recommend it and it's the best zoom for a point and shoot.

Today I picked up a frag of the Superman Monti....It's off one of the origional colonies so I was pretty stoked to find it....Also picked up some zoas with a really bright orange skirt, will get some pics when my lights are on tomorrow

So an update on the tank.....I really need to get pics up but have just been crazy busy with work lately. I got a sunset monti and neon-green toadstool last week. Hopefully as the Neon green grows I will be able to use it to supplement my coral money...And the way leathers grow in my tank it should not be long. My toadstool leather is only a few inches short of being frisbee sized at this point. I have also decided that the hogfish has to go. He has killed the last 3 fish I have introduced into the tank. So I will be building a fish trap and sending him to someone else.
