I figured out what my next purchase is going to be a new camera! I want to get into photography and want to get a good camera. Any suggestions welcomed.
I've been into photography for some time now. Feel free to PM me any questions you may have. I shoot 100% manual with a Nikon D90 and various lenses.

Heck ya.. A new camera would be pretty cool. I got a Cannon (DSLR, but don't know the model off the top of my head) for Xmas and like it. But I don't know what the heck I am doing.
Southern Wolf, when are you teaching a camera class?? I would join, and I think a few others would as well.

I don't mind teaching a camera class. I've been shooting since I was 14 (now 39) and for a while I also worked as a semi-pro photographer. Just never made the leap to full time pro because my other business got in the way.

Ok... took your advise Sweatervest

Here is my 2 month (I think it has been two months) review of the lights:
Issues:

• 
  Power supply burns me when I touch it and smells like melting plastic*
• 
  One fan is dead*
• 
  T-joint cable has a loose connection*
• 
  Mounting for controller is flimsy
• 
  Rail kit leaves a little to be desired
  *Coralvue is sending me replacements of these items and they will no longer be issues
  Pros:
  I LOVE how the corals look
  I can keep a wider range of corals
  My tank temp is now more stable
  Easy to program
  I really like the coloration of the LED's

I really like my fixture and so does my tank. I am really happy with the decision I made. Thanks for the suggestion Corey!

Woohoo!! I got the new power supply, cable and fan. The fan works perfectly. The new power supply is huge compared to the old one. I think it is bigger than my halide ballast. I'll post pics later. I'm shocked that the stuff came via Fed-Ex on a Saturday. I'm pretty sure Saturday Fed-Ex deliveries cost more.

Congrats!!!!! Your right Saturday delivery is extra!!!

 

[gemmy]

Here are the two power supplies. The left is the old one and the right is the new. Quite a difference. The new one came with lots of warnings not to get it wet.

I got a new camera

. So that means picture time:

I'm going to do a nice cleaning and some maintenance on the tank on Wednesday. Hopefully, I can figure out the camera and get some nice shots.

Thanks!! I am very pleased with how everything turned out. The tank just has a better look to it and I also see some areas where I can add new corals.

Any secrets to the success of your elegance? I can not keep one alive to save my life!
