Hey Hey "Blue Grovers" Have you been getting them to grow for you yet? I had about 60+ of those babies and now I'm down to 2....( if fragged a few to 1 person and lost them to). They have maintained for the last year now ( after I got rid of the 2 hitch hikers) but no growth here yet.

I actually am having a lot of luck with them. I started out with three polyps and now I have about 10. They are big!!!

I am test driving a Canon EOS Rebel XSi. A coworker has one for sale that I am trying, he has not given me a price yet so it depends on that. I still need to buy a macro for it. I prefer Nikon but hey if the price is right  So far I am pretty impressed with the shots even without a macro. Grovers are coming your way Matt, I need to frag those for sure! |

agreed...you can't go too wrong with any of the dSLR's now days. The "L" lenses are fantastic (the super good glass) but $$$...your shots are still fantastic! With a tripod you could even use a slower speed & open up your lens!

Wouldn't be disappointed with a canon esp the Xsi, they did a good job with that one. Then I'll have to borrow you my 100mm sometime. Back ordered right now but its supposed to be cream of the crop.

Thanks! Yes it is a Tunze Nanostream 6025, Matt showed me the wonders of these powerheads. You can mod them to kick out a ton of flow, the mod is very easy. They also only use something like 8 watts of power! I am going to slowly but surely swap out my Koralias with Tunzes.
