So newbies, why don't you both reading this thread?

(Which I suppose is a stupid question, since they have to read the thread to find the question, hence the question is then null

Reason I ask is this very good thread only has 75 views and it has been here for a month. In that time there will have been a lot more than just 75 new people visit this forum.

This should answer your questions.

I have found the reefpedia to be more informative of the type of camera used to take a photo than having actual information about the species.

The guides are good, but for information directly relative to the species you are inquiring about it is not that useful yet.

The fix for your question is to join your MASX and start adding pages to the site.

Hi Guys,

IS this info available in a PDF file?

I think it would be GREAT to collate it all and PDF it

Fantastic stuff
