Nocean Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Hi. I am new to the forum, but not as new to the hobby. 3 years ago I started with a 29g fo. Then fowlr. Then fowlr and 1 coral plus new lights. Then... Currently the 29g houses a pair of mated Clarkii's with the first anemone I bought 2 1/2 years ago. They spawn every ten days with an 8 day hatching cycle. The anemone has outgrown the 29g at this point. I also have a 56g reef--mostly softies, 75lbs lr with 2 scarlet cleaners, a mated pair of A. ocellaris and a juvenile Centropyge potteri. And Moe, the lone blue Chromis. I am almost finished setting up the 100g w/30g sump/refuge--should be up and running in 2-3 days.(clap) I look forward to meeting some of you at this afternoons meeting. There is a link to my "homepage" in my profile--I think. (not so web saavy) Quote
dsoz Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 Welcome. Glad that you could make it to the site. I hope to meet you this afternoon. dsoz Quote
180Brandy Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 Hello and welcome to the site! Your tank sounds pretty cool! Pictures are always a added bonus around here!!!! Quote
jfly Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Wow, you take some amazing photographs. Care to share any tips? What sort of equipment are you using? I really like the cleaner shrimp picture. Your focal length is really good. I can never seem to get that much of mine in focus even if I stop down a lot. Quote

Been getting good results using a Micro 60mm on a tripod. What are you using? Quote
Nocean Posted July 31, 2008 Author Posted July 31, 2008 Testing... my abilities to insert an image. Quote
180Brandy Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 You should enter that picture in the September pic of the month Quote
jfly Posted July 31, 2008 Posted July 31, 2008 I've got a nikon d80 and my best pics so far have come from the sigma 17-70 macro lens that I have for it. It won't do 1:1, though, but I like that its variable and not prime. Really I just need to spend more time on it, cause, like you said, 1 in 50 or so are decent :P I really like that pod shot! Quote
180Brandy Posted August 1, 2008 Posted August 1, 2008 I have that same camera and love it!!!! I like your picture it has depth and nice color!!! Quote
Nocean Posted August 8, 2008 Author Posted August 8, 2008 Thank you! I really, really enjoy the camera and taking pictures of the aquarium. I had a hard time getting the pods to pose I do have my eye on the D3 (drooler) --though that won't be happening anytime soon! Quote
