As far as the pics, we like any/all pics. Does your camera have a macro setting? It is usually a little flower on the camera. The macro setting is what most of us use for the up close pics. In fact my camera has a macro and a super macro which lets me get really close but most digital cams at least have a macro. |
I have, indeed, found my lion to be a nitrate & phosphate factory. I do about a 15% water change weekly, but the nitrate level just doesn't seem to budge. So I figure a 'fuge is probably the most cost effective, and system beneficial solution for me at this point. I'm very curious to see how much nitrate it'll be able to consume.
And yes, now that you mention it my camera does have a little flower setting I can put it on. I'll experiment after work and see what I can come up with. Since I don't have any corals or anything like that yet, it's not like there are a lot of tiny critters that are photo worthy. But I'll try to, at least, get a good pic of the whole tank and a good shot of Mephostopheles (that's what we call the Lion... Mephie for short).
