Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Time for a story and some pictures.
Every weekday morning we pretty much have the same schedule, I wake up and am out the door then Nikki wakes up when I leave, lets the kittens out, gets ready, puts the kittens away and then she is out the door. This morning she was getting the cats together...

So the tank has stabilized out incredibly well with the twice a week water changes and the corals are loving it. I took my own advice to someone else today and went and bought a tripod. I am still getting used to it, but here are some pics:
These guys were turned a bit so I could not get a...
I have the d3100 as well, hit me up and I will see if I can help you out. I have to change the setting for all three of my tanks (power compacts, T5s and LEDs)
Also Kevin, great pictures.

You can bring up to 3 frags total (please no duplicates)
