    What lenses

    So I'm seriously thinking about plopping down money to get my first dSLR. I'm probably going entry level, but considering that I'm planning on using this thing outdoors for shooting waterlife, as well as on hiking trips, I'm thinking about going mid-range. Regardless, Canon's Rebel T1i is...

    Macroalgae Suggestions

    Looking for a med/fast growing macro that would do well in low/med light conditions (~1watt of NO Fluorescent lighting per gallon). Seriously... Any suggestions welcome... I think the lighting might be a bit low for Caluerpa species, although maybe it will just retard the growth a bit... But...

    OT: Good morning from ILM

    Figured I'd click a few pictures really quick of my morning walk. I'm pretty lucky and live off the water front in downtown Wilmington, I get to take the best morning walks with my dog. Usually get to meet a few other dogs or tourists that love dogs (at least during the summer when all the...

    mildew/salt creep prevention

    I try to learn from my past mistakes, and I'm in the process of planning out my next setup. What I learned from my last open top setup and open stand setup is that salt creep gets everywhere, and regular drywall mildews very easily if there is a tank right next to it. So my next tank is going...

    OT:For the surfers

    I know there are a few surfers on this forum. Just FYI I tried to take a flight out of Wilmington via Delta today and was denied access. Could not take my 1 board with me. With the NW Delta merger they were already charging me $150 per board so couldn't take my 4 boards. But apparently Delta...

    OT: moving

    I'm pretty stoked now. We just got our keys to a house we are leasing in downtown Wilmington (I know everyone says buy, but I can't afford to live in a house like this, and it affords me to save money by living with roommates to buy in the future). It's a registered historic house built in 1869...
