Merry early Christmas to me!

My new 29g oceanic bio-tank is now loaded! Got it Sunday afternoon, as an early Christmas present.
Marco and Lindsey went to tampa and picked LR for me.
I have about 45 lbs of LR right now, 30-35 lbs of sand.
Thanks to marco, i got it all set up that night, up and running!
I'll post some pics once i find a camera.
Might get my clean up crew Friday, and hopefully will get some fish in around the beginning of next week. :fish2:

How is it your brother has a several thousand dollar digital camera, and you don't have one at all? Make him take pictures so we can see your progress!

you should be able to take pictures just about as 'good' as the ones i posted with your camera ... not that those were really good ....

get a tripod, turn the lights off in the room, set it for AP (Aperature Priority) .. or full manual, and give it a 40, or 60 shutter speed ... that should give you a decent picture ... and if you can, put your camera right on the glass of your tank ... less light to hit the glass & glare off.


You don't need a $1,000 + camera to take great pictures, not unless you plan on blowing them up & ou need the higher MP range, and now unless you need the versatility of a SLR... for the lense inter-changeability.

Scott, I am thinking of getting one of those pajama fish, that you have. They are so cool looking! I'm thinking of which fish to look for for my tank, doing lots of research.

Pajama cardnials are cool fish, and hardy. Go for it.

Ah man, we lost the xenia! It drifted under the rock, and we can't get to it without moving all the rocks. Night

man .. i superglued that xenia to the rock too ... guess it didn't hold.

i'll probably be OK ... you'll start having xenias grow out of your sand bed ... providing they can get some light ...
