    My new blue Tridacna squamosa clams!!!

    A trio of these bad boys showed up earlier today! They are so freakin' pretty I just had to share! Being an avid clam lover, these are my holy grail of clams. Please pardon the slime on the sand. It's one of those pesky bio-pellet byproducts.

    My Beef With the New BOD

    I have debated even bringing this up, but after stewing about it for several days, I have to get it off my chest. I was contacted by the BOD and told that my status as a forum moderator was being revoked due to a perceived conflict of interest. There wasn't any detail associated with the...

    I got my order of 75lbs of dry Pukani live rock from Bulk Reef Supply today and as I began the aquascape planning, I realized that I needed some live rock mortar to accomplish the look I'm going for. So, any stores carry any of it locally or does anyone have any left over mix? If not mortar...

    Rimless Glass Sump

    Depth of Field Pictures

    I was bored out of my mind the other day and wanted to experiment with the camera. I setup the tripod, mounted up the macro lens, and starting playing with the f-stop/aperture/depth of field. The goal was to see how the image changed as the f-stop increased, and show them in a photo timeline...
