There is no need to progress this further. Steve

Yes I did resize them to the same size, 500 pixels being more or less randomly chosen, while I was preparing a few more to add. That occurred after I decided that the RC photography forum would be a more appropriate location for a thread relating to tank pictures. That conclusion was reached when recalling that when I asked fellow reefers whether or not they used a macro lens, the thread was promptly moved to the off topic area. They also have quite a few very serious and very good, tank photographers there, making it a useful venue to receive technical feedback, although this is never guaranteed. RC do have some general guidelines but still seem quite happy to accept and display full tank shots at quite large sizes, up to 1000pixels being quite common. Steve

Not unhappy, just negotiating another chicane. All part of the minutiae of life. For anyone interested, the pics, and a few more, are up in the photography section of RC. Steve

Nope, spent long enough reducing them from the 2.5Mb files they started as and I have a life to live. In fact I should be living it now instead of faffing round on here. Bye

Since I don't see any published specifications in the FAQ or guidelines and don't have a pm address for Bill Mod, I am not sure I can be bothered. Steve

And some more I forgot before... Steve

Some new pics with the new toy. Still need a lot of practice but getting better. http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0586_SML.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0632_SML.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0665_SML.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0688_SML.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0756_sml.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0763_sml.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0785_sml.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0789_sml.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0794_sml.JPG http://users.actrix.co.nz/stevea/IMG_0825_sml.JPG Steve IMG Tags Removed. Pics too wide Please resize Second set is fine Send me a PM when you have resized on your site and I will re-install the IMG tags to save you reposting. Bill. Mod.

Sounds like a good activity for the WE. Need your number. Steve

Hi, Wouldnt mind another Xenia. The last one has gradually faded away in the overflow. It didn't crash but my efforts to protect it from the Regal left it with insufficient light I suspect. So what I would like to do is try a smallish one in with the Regal. I know he nips at Anthelia (which does fine in the overflow) so I am not overly confident of success, but still worth trying. Steve

They had the system, I even helped them set it up, and they had the stock for a whhile and on occasions. What they lacked was the skill and the will. You will never build up a long term customer base if you are unble to demonstrate that you know what you are doing and what you are talking about. You will particularly not attract new entrants if you cannot give them confidence that you will be able to help them solve any problems they have. Steve

Many years ago I had to empty my reef to fix a leak. I found a worm over a metre long and about as thick as a finger. Despite this, I made sure I transfered all the bristle worms I found to my new tank when I set it up last year. That one above look pretty inocuous. I would certainly keep it if were my tank. Steve

Mine doesn't. There is no hint of mucus and it does fade ot a greyish colour. It sleeps down one end of the tank and always under the same rock. Steve

It was over night that the that CBB had it's fatal accident with the overflow. Steve

I just used the plastic netting material that you find around dive bottles. This was folded in half and tied with plastic tie wraps, then just sat over the lip of the overflow forming a mesh fence. In the current tank it is a lot simpler as I lay it across the overflow edge a bit like a T, with the top of the T sloping down slightly into the overflow. This not only stops fish going over the top but also prevents them from even getting closer than about 2-3cm. V’ small fish can still get past the end, as recently proved by a couple of baby Banggai cardinals. Steve

Sorry about you loss. I once lost a CBB to my overflow. I had him for well over a month and he was well settled in so I assume it was just that. This was befoe I had any protection on the overflow and what prompted me to add some. Steve
