Ive got a $15 wally world tripod and its a POS! I have been looking on Ebay, but just dont know with out holding it if its worth the money. I guess a trip to Best buy is in order.....

Thanks so much Gabriel! I have been reading alot and I think Im getting somewhere! LOL! Any advice for a decent tripod thats under $100? Thanks Dustin

Yep I have been looking at them as well. I was using the stock lens with the camera on the macro setting. I have been playin with it alot lately and reading alot of good info. Hopefully I will have some better pics soon.....

Looks like a great deal! Wish I had the space for a 36'' tank...... Good luck with the sale!

Keep your eyes open he may still be alive.... everytime I have added them there is always 1 that seems to hide in the rock. If not sure if its the less dominate or what, but even with the lights one there is always 1 chicken hidding from the rest. JME. Dustin

SORRY MIKE!!! Fans will be a great help in keeping the heat down. Im not sure if you need that many, but better safe than sorry!

No I have yet to see a DSA that has a center brace. They are very well built with thicker glass than other aquarium brands.

Bill if you have the standard 75g I would run 2 MH's 175/250w. If the center brace is in the middle it will effect the par if you dont keep it clean. The glass center brace could get hot enough to crack if splash with cold water, but I have only heard of this happing a few times. If you were to run 1 MH over the center brace I would keep it atleast 6-8'' above the brace depending on the reflector you use. JMO. This is assuming you want to keep SPS in all areas of your tank. Good luck Dustin

I may be in your area this weekend. PM me your contact info and I will give you a call when I get down your way. If you still have it then I will prolly swing in and grab it. If not would you consider shipping it? Thanks Dustin

Sounds good to me. Sending you a PM.

Im guessing here, but these are more what I should be looking for? Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX Macro Autofocus Lens fr Sony Alpha NEW Tamron SP 90mm F2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 LENS FOR SONY

I seen a bunch of these for like $150 SIGMA 70-300mm DG Lens for Sony Alpha So what is the 300mm compared to the 90-100mm? Does that let you get further from the subject you are taking the photo of?

Hoping for what? What are you tryin to find?

I have a Sony Alpha 300. I want a decent lens FOR FREE!!! LOL! Ok or for a decent price. I dont have a clue what Im looking for. I know they are **** expensive! I heard that Minolta lens will work with the new Sony's. As far as all the numbers and spec I know nothing. What do I need to look for to take good macro shots in a aquarium? The lens I have now came with the camera. Its a 3.5-5.6/18-70. I have been told what the numbers mean in the past, but to be honest I didnt understand. What it all boils down to is I want to when 1 of these dang photo contest! LOL! Some of the best shots I have ever seen came from Princer7! They are just amazing! I know equipment is a huge part of a good photo, but I also know a photo editing program goes along way.... Thanks Dustin
