Ok, ok!

Geez, let me dry off my arms.

These turned out lousy but I will get better ones.

Freebie. Red and maybe black or purple mushroom

Did your new nems open up yet? New pics?

They are still in the pvc caps. I can see the color s and all, but they are not opened up and spread out yet.

How about yours?

I had hers in a fish box in my tank. I just put them on a rock and cut off my flow waiting for them to attach. After we treat her tank again they will move to hers. Not much to look at now though lights are ramping down.

Nice!

What are you treating the tank for?

Wish I had a decent LFS around
We have 4. Not including Petco. 1 I wouldn't by anything from, dirty store, dirty tanks. Then there is the one with sickly looking fish. I took a pick of one of his fish that has ich or velvet coming on. Another where they treat you like your a nucence and you should feel privileged even walking into their store. The one I frequent is a fellow hobbiest that started up about a year ago. He hasn't lied to me yet and seems to know what he's talking about.

I have a Nikon DSLR that I bout about 10 years ago when my daughter played basketball in high Schubert, travel team, and college.

I need to break it out and learn how to use it for my tank and all the wildlife around here.

I’m clueless how to use it though.

Guess it’s time to learn something new!

I'm in the same boat, we bought some rebel camera that is supposed to be the cats meow for the average person. I have no clue how to use it and have been messing with it a little. Waiting on my son to give me some lessons. :)

Thanks Simon, I will study up!

You only need to learn it once so learn it in Manual mode, it may seem daunting but once you have a few baseline settings you only need to actually adjust a couple of things per shot.
Oh and always have the lens square to the glass and touching (there is a plastic ring that stops glass to glass contact), the more you shoot at an angle the more distortion you get. :)
... and make sure your glass is clean inside and out, small smears create a light smear on pics. ;)
