Here are some pics of my new frogspawn!! I've been wanting one and after giving up on Otty or Kogle fragging a head for me I had Otty pick me one up at the frag swap over the weekend (+3 for Scott!!) First is a pic right after I put it in the tank yesterday, still pretty closed up. The rest are today, along with a zoa that Otty gave to me a couple weeks ago. The only good pic of one of the zoas I could get. My camera skills are slowly getting better... (I think!) Of course the clowns had to get in the way of the photo op, deleted a bunch cause they were all you would see! | |

Looks good there my friend, try taking a photo with the flash turn off and you should see more color on the corals. You are getting better with the camera though, at least I can tell what they are...  _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

Maybe when I get my MH up and running it will work better, I think that is the problem. Quote:

Just makes it more difficult to take pics, I've been trying to play with white balance with no luck..
Hopefully my MH are in the mail, Roger said they were last week. Would love to get them in early this week  ! Can't wait, could I fire them up right away? I would think it would be fine... | |

You need to take her to some LFS and show her how much that stuff really cost. | |
