ok amy, this question is for YOU! I try to take pictures without the flash, and they come out like this (settings are on apeture priority on the lowest setting, and macro):

now if i turn the flash on, it doesnt blur, but i hate the extra light, doesnt give the true feel of how it looks:

is there a way to manualy configure the shutter time and the apeture at the same time? I think the exposure is just too long~ Thanks amy!

my new cleaner, jaque has em for $22~ i think thats a fair deal compared to everyone else in town...

I checked all water parameters...

Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate 15-20ppm =(
pH - 8.1
salinity - 1.026


everything is stable and where it has been for a while...i'm just waiting for the cheatmorpha and xenia to kick in, and im doing water changes. I guess that damn eel poops a lot < shrug >

Wow your brave with all of that Xenia! I put a small frag in my tank about 3-4 weeks ago, and it has since doubled in size at least twice. It is now as we speak trying to split itself....soon I will have two of these monsters!

Xenia = the devil

[the Undone guy]

they looked so small shriveled up, i had no idea how much they would open up. So now i have, a lot~!

[dallast]

looks good! that xenia and flame look familiar.......

the xenia is nice to look at and just think of it as a living, soon to be giving itself up as a nutrient exporter :)

Sweet pics Bobby! :D

There should be a manual setting on your camera that will allow you to use any setting you wish. Then you can adjust your shutter speed and apeture at the same time. I don't know your camera very well but do ask in the Photo Forum (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=118). Someone might have the same camera and know just where to go in your setting to do that. :D

Love the flame angel!

As for the snail I'll have to check on it. I get those a lot comming off of my flodia rock. I looked it up once and I can't remember the name right now. I think that I found it in the inver quick referance guide.
