    I wanted a Canon EOS but we really can't afford that. The wife surprised me with a GE X500 Pro. Didn't even know GE made cameras. I think once I get the settings figured out I may actually like it.

    two shots on auto w/ the halides on

    It's a 90 gallon macro dominant low zone biotope. There's too much to list, most of it is in the thread on my signature.

    wow, I will have to take a look at your threads later on when I have more time. I think it looks really good though.

    Oh, and good pics as well.

    Ugh I know. But I did everything I could to keep them out of this system. I have a variety that I've never seen before that had to come in on the prolifera from the gulf. They have white bands on the tentacles and have a potent sting, much more than any I've dealt with in the past. Scraping them off of stuff I can take out of the water and with a fingernail will make my finger tips burn.

    I have some Berghia in there slowly munching away.

    Man some of those shots are awesome. Established macro algae tanks really can look great.
