DChemist Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Spectra's camera question and Frank's pictures made me want to point my camera towards my tank. I'm in the process of rebuilding the tank so there is much in there yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Both, of course Looks great, tyvm. The tentacles are quite different from those on the 'vanilla' fungia, very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DChemist Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 Nice to see the comeback after your bout with monti-eating-nudis. Great pictures! I love the purple plate dsoz Thank you... It doesn't feel like much of a comeback yet. I'm ashamed to admit I pretty much killed everything in the tank including the flatworms and nudis through frustration and poor husbandry. It's more of a mulligan. This time I'm trying to be less impulsive in my critter selection. I really love the heliofungia- it's been on my 'wish list' for at least a year. The original plan was to have it and a couple of little fish in a 12 inch cube at work. But this rebuild allowed me to do it at home. I need to publicly thank Isaac at Seahorse- I told him that I was looking for a colorful heliofungia and he found one almost immediately and held it for me. I spent more than I normally would (I tend to buy tiny frags) but it looks very good and I think I actually got alot of bang for my buck. I'm still working on my critter list if anyone has suggestions. What's not pictured is a pink skunk clownfish and some tiny blue clove polyps.

One that I can also use at the kids games? Jay Thank you also. The camera is a Pentax K10D- I think it is a good value for a entry level DSLR. I'm not sure I'd recommend it for a novice user. My wife thinks it's overly complicated compared to a Rebel XTi (she's used both our Pentax and my neices Rebel). The Pentax lenses are very affordable, IMO, compared to Canon or Nikon. I think I'd recommend a less expensive point and shoot camera for a novice. My wife and I started on a Konica Minolta DImage(10x lens, 6 MP, etc.) and I thought it was a great way to learn camera basics. Feel free to check out my photos on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/8697511@N05/), I've got photos from both cameras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
