| Very very nice! I particuarly like the first two pics. What type of camera do you us and what are the settings (if I may ask).
As a little side note, I noticed a few aptasia's in some of the shots. You will want to get rid of them before they commence to spreading. |

I pull them out when i can until i can get some stuff to nuke them with. Joe's Juice, any other suggestions? Truthfully apart from the rapid spreading of some they really arn't bothering me to much. I take rocks out and pull them off but other then that no real troubles.
Most of these were just taken in Auto mode because i am to lazy to mess with manual, and sharpened in Irfanview. Canon 300D (Digital Rebel) stock lens though. Sometimes i'll use my Macro adapter lens.
Thanks all.

| I've used Blue Vet Aptasia Control to remove aptasia. It has worked well for me. They didn't have any Joe's Juice at the LFS, but this seems to work just fine. I only have one or two pop up occasionally in my frag tank. I had peppermint shrimp in my main tank at the beginning, and I've just never seen any in there.
GSP does indeed go wild. I have the braierium (gorgonian) type, and it grows just as fast. |

| Awesome pics Cichlid-Man. I hope to get a couple more softie frags in my tank when I get back from vacation in a couple weeks to join my flame zoa. It was pretty small when I bought it and it has grown a little in the month I've had it but I would like to find a couple others. Maybe a spiderman, a sapphire, or a jack rabbit. I saw a picture of a Darth Maul that looked pretty wicked too.
As far as the aiptasia goes, I had some growing on my LR and I put some Joes Juice on it and it worked great. I put it on the larger ones and my pep. shrimp took care of the smaller ones. So far nothing has come back yet.
