WOW!!! When you come up, and Scott comes out, you two will have to give Patti and I some lessons. We have a great camera, not so great of a lense yet, but we really don't know how to use it yet.

Awesome pics, Greg!!!

Craig Manoukian · 03-20-2008, 01:14 AM

Fabulous for sure Greg!

vdituri · 03-20-2008, 03:34 PM

Nice photos!
You should mess around with your camera more often.

framerguy · 03-20-2008, 03:40 PM

Thanks guys! I'd really like to get a 2x converter so I can take some freaky closeups. I tried to shoot through my magnifying glass, and it worked a little but was a little ...not fuzzy, but hazy maybe. I'll work on that some more and try to perfect it.

Wow great shots Greg, love the Catalaphyllia and Zoanthid photos in particular !

Dentoid · 03-20-2008, 05:44 PM

Nice clips Greg! Keep 'em comiong!

Nice shots Greg, like the shot of the elegance and mussa.

How is the house hunt going? It's really funny but when I sold my last house and started looking for a new one, the requirement that I had was the house needed to have a LARGE room for a theater room. Lucky for me, this house has another large room next to the theater room that I'm turning into our aquarium room now.

How many bathrooms does it have? I don't care.
How many bedrooms does it have? I don't care.
How big is the kitchen? I don't care.

In your case, does it have room(s) for a LARGE aquarium? If the answer to this question is YES, that put an offer in.

Well, you get the idea.

framerguy · 03-27-2008, 12:08 PM

It's funny you should ask Terry...I am SO EXCITED!!! We found a very nice house with 4.15 beautiful wooded acres at the end of a culdesac. There is a large wall in the dining area and on the opposite side of the wall is a convenient garage just begging for an 8' aquarium. They were asking 225 for the place which was too much, we offered 175 hoping they would come back with 200 then get it for 190. Well, they came back with 182.5!!!! I'm out of my mind excited and can't think of anything else. I'll be posting pics as soon as I have some to show.

Now, to bring you down a little, ..Tonya goes later today for her colonoscomy consultation. Wish her luck!

Dentoid · 03-27-2008, 12:14 PM

That's the way to negotiate!

...all over them!
Good luck Tonya!

First, my good thoughts and intentions for Tonya later today (time, please?).

Isn't an 8ft tank a little small?

House sounds really nice, especially the acreage. Looking forward to the pictures, but what else would you expect?! LOL

tbittner · 03-27-2008, 12:29 PM

Tonya, you're in my prayers.

I'm sure everything will be just perfect.

GREAT NEWS about the house, Greg! I'm STOKED for you! So where are you going to buy the tank from? What are you going to use for a refugium/skimmer/sump? What's going to be the theme for the tank?

framerguy · 03-27-2008, 12:57 PM

Gail has gone to get Tonya now, appointment at 2:00.
Gonna get the tank from Jack and Tenecor.
Rubbermaid tubs sump
Current 75g DT will become refugium
Haven't decided the theme yet but have ideas

rmlevasseur · 03-27-2008, 01:07 PM

Ugh, I have Crohn's and have yearly colonoscopies. You just reminded me I'm overdue for one
