Ha, No, nothing's broke, just didn't want to be embarassed while I was testing how to post pics. Thanks for the compliment on the bubble. Now that I know how to do this, I'll post more of him when he's fully inflated.

Camera is a Sony Cybershot DSC-H2 6.0 megapixel w/ 12x zoom. Just used the default auto-adjust setting without flash. Took the pics at night with no other lights on, stood about 8 feet from the tank and used the zoom to get in close.
The tank is actually an upgrade from a 30 gallon I had for about a year and a half. It's been up since late september, had fish and coral in it starting in november. 70 gallons, no sump, just fluval 405 canister w/ prizim skimmer on the back. 2 sweeping powerheads (don't know the gph) as well as one stationary head at about 400 gph? Outer Orbit light with 2x96w dual-actinics and 1x150w metal halide.

Crab in the third pic is an arrow crab. Eats all day long but only comes out of the caves at night. Leaves a perfectly intact shell when he molts, I'll see if I can get a pic next time it happens.

How long have you had that arrow crab? I like way they look, but they're nasty little guys (fish nabbers).

Checked my tank log, I put him in on 12/04/07. I havn't had any problems as of yet. I've seen him stick out a leg or two at a passer-by, but it dosen't look like he every really trys to nab one.
