teenyreef Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thank you! I have a 6-year old Canon Rebel Xs DLSR with a kit lens that I never learned how to use. I'm amazed at how the images turned out, especially since I didn't use a tripod. I'll probably set one up so that I can get a better read on the focus and hook it up to my laptop for better image previews. Unfortunately, this discovery has me looking at macro lenses. Any recommendations on macro lenses that won't break the bank would be appreciated! Nice job! Welcome to the macro photography bug I'm a Nikon guy so that's where I've focused my research. You might head over to Jedimasterben's thread, though. He's got some beautiful shots taken with the nifty fifty and a reversing ring. I've played with magnifying lenses and extension tubes but nothing's better than a good macro lens. I'm starting to look around at older, used manual focus lenses to try to get something decent without spending my monthly mortgage m=payment on a new one. Link to comment
seanoli Posted March 8, 2015 Author Share Posted March 8, 2015 Just a quick update: This rock scape has been three months in the making and all of the original rock is gone. Wopee! I think it looks a lot lighter. I've also added a few corals... One of these days I'll sit down and figure out how to use this camera... Link to comment
seanoli Posted April 19, 2015 Author Share Posted April 19, 2015 This thing went completely white, was covered in brown algae and is making a nice comeback. Link to comment

seanoli Posted August 8, 2015 Author Share Posted August 8, 2015 So, on Friday I purchased a skunk cleaner shrimp from a local LFS. Drip-acclimated it for 2-hours and put it in the tank. It navigated back to the lower return grill and hung out there all day. Did its little 'come get cleaned' dance and everything. Saturday morning it was still chilling back there but by around noon it wasn't moving. I assumed it was dead, though my hermit came up to take a look and then left it along. It definitely didn't looking like a molt because it was still very solid. I left my house at 3 and when I returned at 6 it had completely vanished. My tank--as you can see--doesn't have a ton of hiding places and I've checked all of them. Nothing. I find it incredibly hard to believe that, if it were dead, my CUC could have completely removed all evidence of a 3"L shrimp in the course of three hours. Any ideas? Link to comment
kimberbee Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 But for reals... no, no other ideas here... Link to comment
seanoli Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 I have two teeny tiny hermits and a few nassarius snails that would even be interested in this thing. #expensivefeast Link to comment
kimberbee Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Maybe it found a hole and died in there? Link to comment
seanoli Posted August 9, 2015 Author Share Posted August 9, 2015 Maybe it found a hole and died in there? My scape hasn't changed from my last FTS and that shrimp was almost 3" long. There just isn't anywhere for it to go. Link to comment
seanoli Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I'm clearly horrible at this. My tank hit the one year make a few days ago and I totally forgot! Here are some photo updates! In other news, does anyone know of a non-annoying way to imbed Flickr photos? Link to comment
JR! Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 how do you only have half a gyre lol? Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Looking good. Glad to see another Pico out there. Link to comment
seanoli Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 how do you only have half a gyre lol? Maxspect sells a cap that lets you cover up one side if you only need one set of blades. The full size Gyre was just too much for my tank. Looking good. Glad to see another Pico out there. Thanks, I'm still here! I wish Chris would get that website up and running. Link to comment
