nice pic, what lens did u use for the clown pics?

JuniorMC8704 · May 2, 2009

all pics were taken with Nikon D300 and a Nikon 105mm Macro lens. All fish pics are taken with SB-800 remote flash at f/22, 1/250

they will for sure eat small hermits, but ive never seen them, or any other wrasse (most people forget they are a type of wrasse) eat snails.

Ive found the only snails worth keeping are the tonga nassarius snails, and conchs anyways...both of which spend 90% under the sand.

Shrimp are likely going to be hit and miss...in a 300 they would stand a decent chance, either way, im not too worried about it. =)

Awesome Jr! You are really liking that remote flash and high(er) speed sync aren't you?

most definately! Having a lower light tank, and little room to work with, my fish tend to move around a lot. without it, they would all be junk...

Im toying with the idea of getting a couple of these to put on each side of the tank too....

what do you think mike?

what about with other fish? does it try to eat smaller fish you have in your tank? cause im bout to upgrade my 55 to the biggest tank i can get thats still 4 foot.. cause i just bought a new light system...

Those are kinda neat. You can use them for all kinds of stuff too. You could put one in a "clamp lamp" and aim the light. The down side is they are not variable power, they are just full on.

Pop one in the living room, and crank the master flash way down, just enough to fire the slave, and you can get some really cool "ambient" type images of the family. Would be really cool for Christmas morning...
