    thank Vinny. It is a Cannon EOS Rebel XSI. Ya I play around with it and depending on light, flow etc use either macro, or action setting generally.

    Ordered BRS screen kit for my wife tank. Glass is such a pain in the @#$ to keep clean, but the other benefits will be nice also(cooler, better gas exchange etc etc). Next is auto top off, evaporation is crazy.

    Man this has been a spending week for sure. Wish I had about another $1000.00 so I could finish off buying all the little things for the wife tank then start concentrating on my 135.

    Got some items in.. mp10wes, the fuge light, and custom filter caddy so I can get some chaeto and remove the current filter media. Also got the items for screen cover so need to put that together also.

    what the saying you get what you pay for.. Well let me tell you the mp10 blows away the jebao wp10 .. can you say holy crap.

    Don't like the price of the mp10 but made the wife happy

    going to have to play around with the mp10 tomorrow to get it dialed into what the wife wants but jebao coming out and will be used in QT/HT when I get that back up and running

    A cold day in hell before I go to our favorite coral store and only get what we went for.
    Eco Reef in Venice Florida (Chet and Donna) always so helpful.
    So went for some chaeto and some rock to add to the new fuge area and ended up coming home with three new corals.

    1) a nice large birdsnest (almost can't call it a frag).. $25
    2) a baby plate coral $10 bucks
    3) a jackolantern leptoseris frag $60
    4) oh and we did get the chaeto and some rock ha ha

    lights almost off when got home so will get some shots tomorrow.
