    Looking to buy DSLR for x-mas present....have no clue where to start

    Most of the dSLRs have live view now. I know the Nikon products do. But of course I'm partial to Nikon ;D In the end they're all going to do similar things for you. You'll want to make sure that you're comfortable with the camera in your hand, so test drive them all before you commit.

    damn hair algea.... what likes to eat it?

    You can add a sea hare. They do a good job, but when it is gone you need to pass it along. More snails. I find when my snail population in my FOWLR diminishes the hair algae grows. Of course without the nutrients you won't have HA. What are your nitrates? You could try a few 20% water changes to...

    Thanks Phyl - Photo presentation

    Glad to hear it, Mark! The tips, tricks and concepts I talked about today I use to use with my old Olympus 3040, so I'm SURE that a lot of today's digi cams can do it too! As long as you have a manual mode and a macro mode you're good to go. I even had teleconverters that I could screw on the...

    Some shots

    That first one you could reduce the depth of field (lower FStop) on with actinics only to increase the amount of light. The rocks in the background would be good to be a bit blurrier without adversely affecting the coral itself. In the second two photos, try moving the snail shells out from in...

    Some shots

    They don't look grainy here. Maybe a tad bit dark. I think the first one would have been better off portrait rather than landscape and the blurry bit of cap above the subject is a little distracting. Would be better to crop off the distraction. The others look cool. Were these actinic only? The...

    photos taken

    You should be able to see most of it by right clicking on the image on your hard drive and then choosing advanced on the info tab. There is another program that Merv is talking about, but you don't need that to view regular info.

    Help!!

    The stress of the tank change is just as likely as the crab to have caused the shedding event. They just do this. Don't be mad at the crab! ;D

    Help!!

    It looks good. It isn't soft or mushy, right? Nice tight skin? Leathers do this "shedding" thing where they close up for a week or so and then (hopefully with good flow, but no additional stress of moving again) they shed their skin and extend (usually bigger) again. Try not to worry about it...

    I need just a little ressuarnce

    Pretty early in the cycle. Hopefully all your bad numbers are 0 (Ammo, trite & trate). Leathers and Kenyas as you already know react like this to stressors. I'd say give them all a week or so, make sure the flesh stays tight on them (and they don't get mushy) and see how they do. If they start...
