Dan your getting some awesome shots with your d40! What ISO are you shooting?

Thanks ric,I am never happy with them,but thats just me i guess.I shoot at 200 most of the time but i switch around to see what looks the best on different corals.

Did you get any new lens? or are you still using the 18-55?

The Grinch is nice. I got one a few months back, it's a slow grower, so be prepared to wait.

Thanks,I am a patient reefer,strange enough though i have only had it a couple weeks and its grown a quite a bit.encrusted about 1/8th of an inch down the plug already so hopefully it will grow a little faster then expected.The appleberry on the other hand i have had for 2 years and it only grew about 1/2 inch.go figure

Beautiful rigleautomotive-

What do you do in terms of feeding your corals and nurient export; do you dose any carbon (vodka, zeo,prohibido,ect)?

Your corals look well fed and under ulns conditions.

Thanks,I am old school and dont do any of the carbon dosing,bacteria driven type regimens.I feed PE frozen mysis,flakes and frozen cyclopeeze daily.I use a power hungry aggressive downdraft skimmer and do weekly 25% water changes religiously.i run 100 micron filter socks and change them twice a week.i run GAC passively in the sump and a good amount of macro algae on a 24 hr light cycle and harvest about half of it every 3 to 4 weeks.I currently do not run GFO and i am able to keep my phosphates at .02 or lower without it.my nitrates are usually around .3. I did run gfo for a while but saw no real advantage in it so i quit.Thats about it.
