Hey Everyone.

I am new to the area and I just wanted to introduce myself. I moved here (Sandy) from Idaho in October through work. I manage the Inkleys Camera store in Sandy. I have had my 30gal set up for 5+ years and love spending time working on it and watching it. I finally convinced my wife to let me upgrade lighting to MH and now I am looking to add some SPS to the tank. Any suggestions or recomendations?

I look forward to trying to make it to some meetings, and getting to know some of you.

Stop in my store anytime and introduce your self if you need any camera/printing help.

Nick Cardona

That really all depends. There are some sweet Dslr Cameras out now that aren't that expensive. Combine that with a good macro/micro lens and you should be set. There are also a few underwater digitals that will let you into the tank for pics.

Some of the underwater olympus ones I told you about when I bought that frag from you are on sale right now. Stop by sometime and I'll show you what is available.

I lived in Pocatello, but I spent some time in Twin Falls as well.

That would be awesome. Your tank cam is freaking sweet.

I liked twin, except for the fact that it is so flat and always windy.
