Are the pictures still not showing up? I see them in both IE and Firefox. Please let me know if they are not showing up so I can repost them?

this may be a dumb question, but what is seconding a tank?

And as for Elliot's question, i am pretty sure that a tank needs to be seconded by at least one other RB member in order to actually be in contention for tank of the month. If no one will second a tank then it just gets thrown out at the end.

Yeah I got lucky on that one. I use a Canon A640 10MP camera on a tripod. I saw the Mandarin hovering around the Zoanthids and set it up to take a picture every 2 seconds and just let it go for about 2 minutes and this was one of the results. It does help that I am a master scuba diver and do underwater photography. All of my pictures are done in manual mode on the camera and settings are adjusted for each shot. Crals are usually at 1/10 shutter speed and F8.0, ISO 100. Fish pictures are at 1/160 shutter speed, F2.8-4.0 and an ISO of 200-400.

How do you keep your Huma from eating your corals?

thelastmucci= yeah thats my brain eating some cyclopeeze

jgo1973= triggers dont eat coral, the only reason why their not considered reefsafe is cuz they eat shrimp, crabs, snails, clams.....
but i like my trigger so much i rather keep him than all of the above

but if u want to keep shrimp and inverts with a trigger than u should try a blue throat or pink tail trigger or crosshatch(which go for $400), these 3 trigger are considered reefsafe..... im getting a blue throat as soon as my 120 is running

Having a QT tank saved my whole tank last month. It is highly recommended.

I would like to nominate MOTHERGOOSE. Becky can you send him a message and ask him to put his tank in here. He has a nice looking tank and I have mentioned it to him before. I think it would sound more official coming from you...
