Hello,
I now have a problem with pictures: I'me out!
I like to have a picture of all species so I might have to slow down a little until I get new ones.
If any of you have pictures of fish or inverts that are not listed on my blog, I would be more than happy if I could use any. If someone wants to help me with that, simply send me a PM.

Thanks!!!!

Hey, Mad I like it, especially all the movies. So, keep it up

[madcaptains]

Thank you for the comment!
I like the movies to. Pics are nice but videos are even better!

There is something I would like to do with movies:
we often say a species need low, medium, strong, etc current. When we say to someone that his coral will require a medium indirect current, what does that tell him? This can mean something different for everyone.
I think videos could be a great way to show what it's like. This could be an anemone under different flow rate or something like that. I don't have a video camera so I'll have to look around on YouTube.
Do you think that could help?

Yes I do think it would help

All right then! I'll look on YouTube and will try to find videos. I'll post them here so people can help me figure out how to call each rate flow!
Thanks

Cool Site Madcaptains!
I like the video idea also. I would try and find them without sound in the background though. That anemone one has an underwear commercial for a sound
I really like the T.Gigas link. That one at the bottom is very nice. I will try and do a video of mine for you later in this week.

[madcaptains]

Thank you for your feedback.
I know the sound can be quite bad on many video. When possible, I try to chose videos without sound. If you have a video, I'll use it for sure!

Thanks again

[Frankie]

I'll make one tonight for you of my T.Gigas.
