Hopefully they can actually build a production unit at a not too obscene price.

Ecoxotic is releasing a 100W Canon - supposed to be shipping next week. Mount 15-19" above tank gives a spread of 24" x 36" - $499 and you can light that whole 40b with a single fixture.

Luke at Reef Filtration is great resource for SWC skimmers - both suggestions/technical info and purchasing.

First picture with the new camera. I know it's not a tank shot but the lights are out and I have no idea how to use this thing yet. But looking at how good it makes max look I think this will be a great camera!!

 

Thanks to all for the input. I decided to go with the D3100. I didn't want to spend a ton of money but wanted a good deal overall. A huge Thanks goes to Rick as he called me twice and spent quite a bit of time recommending different things and offered up some pretty sweet tips. Now I just need to start putting them to work.

 

Nice pic of a dogfish

Unless I personally knew the seller I would never buy a camera used unless it had a good return policy - that goes for lens also.

It's true that what's behind the lens makes more of a difference than the camera itself up to a point. There are just some things a small point and shoot can't do that a DSLR can no matter who is shooting. It's fine to geek out on the features but do NOT expect those features to produce spectacular looking pics by themselves.

I will add that DSLRs tend to hold their value more at the higher end and if you get into photography in ernest you will spend multiples on your glass collection compared to the cost of a body.

Canon online has refurbished 60D for $720 with coupon code 'FAM211' which is a screaming deal:

The 60D beats both the T2i and T3i.

Can you display information from the unit on your computer? Any type of online features? Thanks Harold

Yes - they have a module to connect it to your home network via Wifi -Wifi Attachment

Well I think were going to go to saylors. I haven't been there in years and the last time I remember the food being pretty good. We will just go spend some more cash at the casinos this weekend instead..

I noticed they took the rotating steak shaped sign down and replaced it with the same picture but on a big rectangle now. That section of Stark will never be the same for me.

Can we have a meeting at screen door? I see it's popular

Let's call an emergency meeting to discuss fried chicken and mashed potatoes!

Uncooked rice in a sealed container for a few days -OR- the gel based kitty litter. Rice is about 200x cheaper per pound though. You should also remove the battery ASAP.

Yelp.com its a good resource for restaurant reviews if you don't already know about it

http://www.urbanspoon.com is good and they have dedicated apps for mobile devices.

http://www.portlandfoodanddrink.com/ is a more local discussion

Screen Door (southern)

Andina (peruvian, really good food)

Papa Haydn (great desserts)

Hellenis Tavern (greek, really good, best calamari in town). Romantic, nice atmosphere

+100 on Screen Door (have the fried chicken)

Also Lincoln (NE Williams) or Trebol (NE Albina) or Pok Pok (SE Division - have drinks across the street at Whiskey Soda Lounge before)

Welcome aboard.

I'd love to see pictures of your setup - in particular the coast-to-coast overflow.

There is a feature on our forum that allows you to create a 'group' of common-interest users - you might check that out and see if it would work to bring together the Rouge reefers. Click on 'Community' in the quick bar towards the top of the site and choose 'Groups' and then 'Create' button.

When are you going to be there? If it's this weekend holy cow are you in luck - Reefstock - 3-12-2011
