  1. The lighting consist of 1 10k 175watt Metal Hallide, 1 95watt Power compact 50/50. The aquarium has been through its phases from freshwater to the SWFO to the current setup. From Saltwater, this has been up since july of 08.

     

    For the camera, its a 12mp canon XSi with 100mm lenses. Im trying to experiment with manual settings

  2. I finally got a hold a digital SLR so I'd figure i would give it a shot. Remember I'm a newbie at shooting as well as reefkeeping so im still learning from experience.

  3. a little butter and garlic will fix him! (hungry) Only kidding!!! (laugh)

    Yeah my kids wanted to flush him down the toilet. I ended up turning our 2 gallon beta fish into a SWFOLR tank. He seems to be happy there on his own. Its funny, everytime you pass by his tank his claws are up ready for battle.

  4. My guess is its the coral banded shrimp. Check out the fins from all the dying fish. If they are frayed and cut, i would definately suspect it. Try catching him at night. He does all his bad habits de-finning at night. Thats how i lost a few of my livestock.

  5. Welcome to the group. I am glad that you shared your tank with us. :)

     

    I hope that you can make it to a meeting so we can meet you in person.

    Probably the reason why I join the forum. I always thought Kayes were the only fish store in town. Hope to meet some of you people in person and hope to absorb your reef keeping expertise.

     

    that coral banded shrimp sure was hungry. Those xenias do grow like weeds. Thanks for sharing!!! (clap)
    He was suppose to be my last livestock but he didnt turn out too well for me. Very agressive shrinp. He didnt actually eat the fish. For all the fish he killed, he manage to de-fin most of them. Once that happened, they ended up dying from starvation.
