Monti cap taken with a D200, 105mm macro on manual mode, Nikon extension tube (Renee's loaner ;D).

Way too cute! She looks great in swap colors! ;D Now where are the pictures of our other NJRC baby?

And the best solution is arm length gloves. That protects both the tank and you. Maybe there'll be a run on them at the PA group buy!

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

That first link is to the D40, rather than the D40X. The (subtle, and possibly not necessary) difference is that the D40X is a 10mp camera over the 40 which is a 6mp cam. Good prices for a great entry level camera (by the time you need 10mp, you're going to want the flexibility, sturdiness and...

D40 is a good camera and the lenses you get will grow with you for when you're ready for the D300 (or 400, if that's what it is by then)! You can get one on B&H Photovideo with a couple of lenses too. The one thing that will control the "high speed images" more than the body you get is the...

Mushrooms don't move as quickly as anemones unless they aren't tacked down (and then it would be more like blowing around than moving). How much moving is this doing? Moving makes it sound like an anemone.

LOL! That certainly is the danger of being around all of those cameras!

Thanks, Mladen! As for the presentation, Billy has it on video. He's working on getting it posted, I think.

So what pump did you end up with at the end of the process? What's the GPH rating on it?

C'mon... where are those submissions? We only have a few more days left before the contest begins and so far we don't have very many entries... Let's get snapping! I saw lots of cameras yesterday, so I know they're out there. ;D

Thanks gang! And in the interest of "You learn something new every day"... You can connect your D200 (? other models?) to your computer using a USB cable and use your computer to remotely trigger the camera. The ultimate in reducing camera shake. I'll let you know after I've tried it!

Either way is fine, but don't put them under too intense lighting right away without acclimating them, or they'll probably burn out. I like the way the cap looks when it grows out in place as it takes on the shape of the rock and grows around it. So I'd put it in my tank right away and let it...

We have ours plumbed into our house waste lines. We throw a couple of ball valves and it pumps the waste water right into the sewer system. Throw those back, hit a switch and it refills the sump.

I think it is up too high, for now. I'd move it lower and get it some shade until it acclimates. Move it up slowly. Sounds like too much light.

I learned that there was dust (about 4 pieces) on my camera's sensor! When I started playing with the F-45 setting I found these green looking specks in my pictures. I cleaned the front lens and tried again. Still there. Cleaned the back part of the lens. The dust was still there. Double checked...

Billy has a 24GB video, Brian snapped some pictures, my camera didn't leave the bag... I know we had a lot of budding photogs there. Not sure how many captured the moments! Hopefully we'll get some folks posting up some pictures tonight! I'll need some for the home page as well!

Once you can catch them, you can probably sell them (fish stores, hobbiests, ...)

That's pretty cool. You need to find out what they need for food! Congrats. Too bad the spouse bit the dust! You could'a had a goldmine there! :)

Well, you've started with a beauty! What size tank do you have now?
