    Phyl, this is almost straight and is again the old camera. I am not supposed to use the Canon until my birthday Christmas day but I have used it and the pictures are no better than this. The camera actually has an aquarium setting. I will take a few pictures with the new camera on the aquarium...

    Phyl, this is with my old camera but I can't seem to get the pictures sharp, even with a tripod. And what setting do you use? There are a lot of settings, shutter speeds, focusing ways, and lighting. Thanks

    Yeah, and being I eat fish almost every day, it would be kind of ironic for me to try to save a few pipefish while I am dining on their cousins. ::)

    OK I went to B&H camera in Manhattan and bought a Canon SX 20. (By the way. that place is bigger than Home Depot) The thing seems to do everything and is even now cooking dinner for me. They gave me $75.00 for my Nikon film camera and a zoon lens. They did not want my 75 to 300 mm zoom so I may...

    Live food coral feeding

    There is no link because I think I invented the thing :o There are various configurations of it but the one I pictured is about the simplest.

    I probably can but where do you think all the baby fish go to in the sea after they hatch? Almost none of them last a week. My tank is the same, fish and crans spawn every few weeks so I am sure that at any one time there are baby fish all over the place but almost all of them are too small for...

    Live food coral feeding

    I keep an airstone on very low on the dark side. I remove it when I cover it so they can swim into the lighted side. This is a routine I do every day

    Live food coral feeding

    I never saw a link, I just always built them that way. You just need a black box and a white or clear box, put them together and make a hole between them that you can close off somehow so that when you siphon out the shrimp, the egg shells stay on the dark side.

    Mikem, thats good news. I don't have anywhere in my tank where I could find them. I have no sump and the overflow is just 2" wide and goes right to a pump that feeds the skimmer so my baby gobies probably become sushi, along with my bangai babies and pipefish babies.

    Qwik, I have no idea how to sex jawfish. If you feed your clowns libe blackworms they should get into breeding condition in a few weeks. Weather they will hang out in your anemone or not is not so much determined by what shape they are in , but if they consider that anemone host worthy. They...

    Exactly and they do it in about 15 minutes.

    After I retired I promised I would never go into that city again, but it seems something always comes up and I have to go back. My daughter is marrying a guy who has a condo in Chelsea in lower Manhattan so I am stuck going there for the rest of my life. 40 years working there was enough.

    gonopora

    Radiata, thats why I keep them. That is also why I kept a moorish Idol. I think I have figured out moorish Idols but that was because I did quite a few dives with them. I have seen gonopora in the sea but I never stood around them long enough to get some incite. I have seen them in shallow fast...

    I thought film camera lenses would not work with a digital camera? That would be great because that smaller zoon lenz that I have was not real cheap. It cost much more than the camera.

    gonopora

    A gonopora is a coral that most people, Including me, have problems keeping for more than a year or two. I am really determined to find out why because it just annoys me. These things should live forever. I have read all sorts of things about them and it seems that it is all incorrect. I...
