    I'm gonna dump some money in the old truck here soon, not looking forward to it. Probably could afford that new Tundra easy with the monthly "payments" I have been putting down on the tank! But, then again, fish can't drive, so I guess I'll keep the aquarium!

    Here are some pics of my new frogspawn!! I've been wanting one and after giving up on Otty or Kogle fragging a head for me I had Otty pick me one up at the frag swap over the weekend (+3 for Scott!!) First is a pic right after I put it in the tank yesterday, still pretty closed up. The rest are today, along with a zoa that Otty gave to me a couple weeks ago. The only good pic of one of the zoas I could get. My camera skills are slowly getting better... (I think!) Of course the clowns had to get in the way of the photo op, deleted a bunch cause they were all you would see!

    Looks good there my friend, try taking a photo with the flash turn off and you should see more color on the corals. You are getting better with the camera though, at least I can tell what they are... ;)

    I think the problem is that all I have running are my actinics, when I turn the flash off EVERYTHING is blue! Maybe when I get my MH up and running it will work better, I think that is the problem.

    Thanks, they are my fav. by far! (My trumpet is a close second!) I like the zoas, but they aren't my fav.

    That is because you are at a 420nm light spectrum.... it should look blue. :p If you have white balance on your camera that will help once the MH's are on. That should be here in another week....right?

    I know it should look blue, that's why I got 2 VHO super actinic bulbs! Just makes it more difficult to take pics, I've been trying to play with white balance with no luck..

    Hopefully my MH are in the mail, Roger said they were last week. Would love to get them in early this week;D! Can't wait, could I fire them up right away? I would think it would be fine...

    You will be seeing plenty more in my video for the contest! I'm pumped, I need an RO/DI in a bad way!!!

    Frogspawn is still looking good, and best of all my wife loves it, didn't even ask how much it cost!:eek:

    Well for what I paid for it you got a heck of a deal on one that large, so she can't complain. You need to take her to some LFS and show her how much that stuff really cost. :eek:
