Damn Biff!! Thats looks so cool!! :Cheers: Woot!! Woot!!
I like mushrooms, so seeing your tank with all those shrooms and ricordia makes me jealous. It's really beatiful.
And that branch with the yellow zoas? OMFG!! You suck. :grumble: I want it!!
I can't wait to see a pic of this thing in 30 days. It's soooooo cool. I showed your pics to my wife and she's like, "Oh honey, you should get one like that. Our little 30g is too small." Then I told her that tank costs about $4000. She thinks our 30g is just fine for now. :shock:
Really nice Biff. Biffy, "international snail farmer extraordinaire"

Yep, I bought 200 snails to take care of that algae mess for me! Working like a charm so far, I don't have to scrape off the front glass twice a day anymore!
Yes, I work three jobs. I teach at the university. I do research in a lab. And I do consulting for an engineering company. And I still have a social life. Well, if you could call my joke of a living situation right now a "social life". Hahahaha.
I had never seen yellow zoas like that before... There aren't very many on that branch, but the branch only cost $40 so I figured it was a good deal for something unique looking. Hopefully that whole thing will be covered! In my old 55 zoas spread and reproduced really quickly, whereas mushrooms did not. Don't know why. Hopefully this time they will all start spreading quickly.
Oh and Yote, they aren't sponges either. They are definitely some kind of polyp. I will get a better picture later, I'll move the rock to the front so maybe someone can ID it this time around. I went through this a year ago and posted pics, and not one person had any idea what they were. How special!

Hmm pictures of corals...not doing so well. Really blurry. Makes me feel like Yote :(. I'm going to have to practice more with this new camera before I'm able to post pictures of corals.
But in the meantime, enjoy these pictures of my tang being a total ham. He insists on getting in every single picture. Maybe he thinks I'm going to feed him or something. SUCKAH!!!!

You're going to have to wait some more. The battery that it came with doesn't come charged! Imagine that! I even bought two -- one for a backup. BTW the super uber macro shots are super uber worthless if I can't hold the damn camera still enough for it to take. I know we have a tripod around here somewhere... Maybe.
Is that Fred Durst playing frisbee by himself?

Ah, have a Digi SLR and still cant get a clear pic out of it. Went out and bought a panasonic 7.2mp Lumix cam. Takes way good pics... Prolly need a tripod or something to make it steady, plus a remote control to take the pics so I dont have to touch the cam..

I have no idea who's in the pic.I don't believe its Fred.
That fancy camera didn't come with a tri-pod?Does yours have that stability/anti shake feature.The picture of the tang looks clear but the color seems washy.

It didn't come with a tripod :(. It does have the anti-shake feature. But I don't know how to use it. Because I didn't read the instructions. I just started taking pictures. The color seems washy because my water is still cloudy.

All that money you spent and couldn't fork over a little more for a tripod.You're going to have to do better to hang with the big boys.:mrgreen:
Seriouly,its nice and clear.I was talking about getting some contrast/color surrounding the tang.

Yeah Sarah its definitely not the water.. OR the algae thats messing up the photo. You just gotta mess with the camera until you can get the picture to look crisp and clear. All's good
