Picture Update
A while ago we purchased a second Percula to replace the one that dissapeared in the tank (still have no idea what happened). It is close to half the size of the first one and they have paired up well with no problems. Below are a few pics of the Percs. Also I added a few other pictures that I took last night.

I don't have any experience running carbon in a filter sock. I personally wouldn't do that tho as my carbon would probably get lodged in my sock fibers and/or overflow into my sump if/when my sock overflowed. |

Hence the "good" part of the statement

It looks like it is way past time for an update . . . but not a lot has been happening. I have added a few mushrooms though.
And a few additional recent pictures . . .

Thank you very much for the compliment. One of my hobbies for years has been nature photography and marine shots are an extension of that - and I have a huge amount to learn yet about taking photos through glass!
About 15 months ago I bought myself a Sony a65. The reviews http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/sonyslta65/ on this camera were very good and I have not been dissapointed . I upgraded the stock lens that came with the camera to an 18-250mm lens for a larger range of possible shots. What drew me to the camera was: 1) the very quick auto focus time - action pictures are much better 2) the ability to take 10 frames/sec - allowing me to get the "perfect" shot of a duck taking off or landing 3) the ability to takes pictures at high ISO - up to 16,000 4) the image size of up to 24MP What I've found for the tank is that I can take a picture with an image size of 24MP and the lens at 18mm. I am able to take pictures from about 18" from the tank, letting more light in, a lower ISO and I don't have to go to a macro lens or macro settings. I can then crop the image significantly and still have a good sized photo without losing clarity. Overall, I am very happy with the camera.
