I am using MAG 18 but the MAG is running very smooth with No noise.
The Noise is coming from overflow in the sump when the water drops into the sump thru 2 1" PVC. I am not sure if some one has used Model 4 sump and seen this problem.

Your Pics look amazingly beautiful , especially that Magnificient Fox face. The Tank look nice with the Rock work. I think I had my rock in big sizes so too much rock in my tank.

I also bought a Canon power shot 630 and took the pics but my old A70 was doing better then A630. I think I am going to return this and get Olympus Evolt E-500 / 8.0 Megapixel / Digital Camera with 2 - Zuiko Digital Zoom Lenses (14-45mm)(40-150mm) $699. Lot of money for a camera which I rarely used.

I already posted my PICS ...

I like the pics this canon 30D and 100mm lens gives you. My first DSLR camera so I am just new to settings, some help from the photography forum. Before I couldn't get pics of fish. I had to turn the ISO to 800 and shutter speed to 1/160.

Here are some more macros of corals:

How do you take those kind of macro pictures? It's nice, when try my camera with macro, it comes out blurry or fade. How can i tell if my camera is good for getting this photo done?

My pictures are probably far from perfect too. I just got this camera and macro lens. I had a different camera before and used the macro settings, it was OK. Then I got a DSLR camera with a nice macro lens.

Check out the photography forum. They have some really nice pictures there. Really experienced people that will give you good information.

Nitro, I am just getting jealous with your pics..lol

I got olympus E-500 in my hand but too many things to learn and dont have a macro lense. Even thinking to exchange it with e-410 which has Live View capability from the LCD.

Amazing Pics you got their. now we need more fishes in that tank..then more Pics ....lol

More fish? I'm trying to get my nitrates down to zero or at least 5 right now. They are staying at 20. I feed twice a day though. The anthias need to eat more than once a day.

I need a lot more SPS corals and then more pics
