that 46g is one to be proud of Jim, I think i see the effects of chocolate lucky charms at work there.
well, to get back to pics - here's a newer one of our remaining platy fry. Poor little things have curved spines, but the fry were overall pretty unhealthy and had to be the result of inbreeding. Still they are platys and being so little but acting just like platys and now competing with the adults, they're a lot of fun to watch.
That is a really clear picture. I guess I need to make the step to macro to get such clear pics.
actually, i just took that with regular settings on my old olympus c4000. cropped it, fixed the color levels and added a little sharpness in photoshop.
Oh, it really looks great. I love the colours too. Must be a pain to clean, no? I always have trouble uprooting my plants when I vaccuum the gravel, and that's where the most waste is in general.
It's impossible to get all of the algae off it, but my pleco does a pretty good job! The sails are impossible to clean though, since they are cloth. They aren't nearly as white as they were originally. It does look more realistic having dirty sails though.
i plan to one day start up a SW tank myself.. but it sounds like i'd need a LOT of money to do it.. i want to have a pair of clowns.. probably maroon or clarkii.. a couple anemone, a school or 2 of damsels and some fire fish.. and naturally plenty of live rock and live sand or crushed coral for the substrata. and i wonder - does high altitude affect SW tanks? like someone living in Denver or Salt Lake City - do they have to do anything special to maintain the specific gravity for their tank?

I do not believe so, though I was talking to someone who I believes lives in Salt lake city and they have a cube, I shall ask them tomorrow, just gota remember. It is not necessarily a lot of money, more a lot of time. If you can find some deals online you can save money. I would just start saving some now and in some time you should have money. You can also keep an eye on ebay, craigslist, aquabid for cheap items that could help you and buy them now and slowing build up what you need.
LOL.. yea, we'll start saving.. after buying a grow-out tank for the mahachai fry, raising them and then selling them. we're thinking about a possible move to denver so anything like a SW tank would wait until we got settled in and made sure the apts we were at would not kick us out for all our tanks. so many tanks, so little space and money for them all. !

LOL, well I asked the person about the altitude, will let you know about it.
