It's only 600 light years away! I think we need to invent teleportation first. :sour:

Looks like a vermitid snail to me. http://www.xtalworld.com/Aquarium/hitchfaq.htm

Ed, thanks for the link to the blog. Seems like Josh is making some progress so hope that continues!

Wow, lots of great input gang. If nothing else, I'm getting a free lesson in photography equipment! I'm glad this thread is staying civil too. Keep it up. I'm learning a lot.

I would suggest seding a PM to Mnat.

Nice update Phil.

At one point, I was considering the GoPro Hero 2 since my nephew just got one and it takes great photos and video, plus the case included makes it waterproof to 197'. Not bad for 1080p recording at only $300. It's really small too (like 3"Long x 2.5" High x 2" Thick) and comes with mounting...

Thanks for the input guys, I'll look into those Nikon cameras as well, but I'm most likely going to go Canon just because I will have access to borrow some lenses to try with it. Phil, thanks for the rebates link. I think the Amazon deal I had was about $100 cheaper than the rebate offer...

Certainly looks more like a feather duster than colonial hydroids to me. :encouragement:

Thanks for the input 35. I was actually looking at This T2i from Canon. Any thoughts on whether that's a good deal or not? I know the lens that comes with it is just OK, but it should be fine to start out with from what my bro tells me.

Can't seem to find you on FB Ed. :(

Congrats Peter! Nice pic.

Does anyone know Ed's FB Page ID?

I'm not into Facebook much either, although I do have an account that I rarely update. I'll try to find/friend you and give some moral support. Ed, keep a positive attitude man. We're all here for you if you need anything.

Mods, please feel free to move this if you think it doesn't belong in this section. My wife and I are looking to buy a new camera for ourselves for Xmas and I'm looking for suggestions. I know there are differing opinions over which brand to get, so hopefully we can keep this civil... I'm...

Just thought I'd share the news:

Great pics Phil! Thanks for sharing. It's always interesting to see what other cultures have to offer. Of all the pics, I'd say that giant lobster caught my eye the most. I've never seen a lobster look so beautiful that I'd hesitate to eat it! That one would make me think about if for a...

Paul, for some reason I remember reading this post a while (like over a month) ago, yet it was posted 19 hours ago. Maybe it was just the pic of the hair algae that I saw, but this looks awfully familiar. Am I right or am I psychic? LOL

Yep, what Brian said. The setting numbers are more of a reference mark for you. Everyone will need to set it differently depending on their installation setup (ie sump size, water depth, amount of nutrients that need to be skimmed, etc.). There is no "perfect" setting that works for everyone...

Now that I have a pump for my reactor (thanks Jim) I'll be starting my bio pellets soon. I'm hoping I can find time to get it going this weekend. If not, next for sure.
