    anyone going to deepwater?

    I can't get there until Wednesday of next week at the earliest. The weekend is tied up with obligations already. I'd be happy to PP the money up there for him to hold my frags until I can get them down here though.

    That was done with Macromedia Fireworks. I think you can download a trial of that, if I'm not mistaken. :)

    My RBTA split

    Ice helps to remove an anemone from a rock. So does a good powerhead blowing at the foot. From there, gently tickle the foot until you "peel" it up from the rock. But just tickling it (don't pull on it).

    Help with Pixelation

    I may not drop the ISO all the way to 50, but I'd certainly bring it down to 400 or 200 with a shot that bright to begin with. I shoot at the lowest possible ISO at all times. I just like the look of my pictures better. You should be able to set a white balance that allows you to pull more of...

    Help with Pixelation

    Wanna post the XIF on the picture? The crab looks dark in comparison to the sand, which makes me think that the picture was taken on some automatic/program mode. The brightness of the sand is causing the crab to come out darker. I'd like to see a little less depth of field so that he stands out...

    power outage.

    Assuming he helped you set it up, it can hold all the water. If you filled it with the system off it will hold all of the water. If you topped it off higher than the "running level" then it will overflow. If the power has been out for an hour there probably isn't any more water planning on...

    Tank Move Disaster - Heavy Losses Continue...

    We moved our sand, but it was only 3 years old. Luckily the system didn't skip a beat during the transition. Sorry to hear about your extensive losses. Have you tested ammo, trites and trates? Where do they hit the scales? Personally, I'd probably do something radical like change the bulk of...

    Yeah I was just wondering if they've talked about what the others were now that it's all over!

    Maybe Next Month

    I'm not supposed to be laughing, am I? The moral of the story cracked me up (as I sat here rubbing my achilles tendon). Yowza. Hopefully it isn't as bad as it sounds and you'll be hobbling around just fine in time for the meeting.

    I wish The Shield was on Tuesday so that I could have that be the last image on my brain rather than this lame episode lingering there.
