    I can export the title screen as an MPEG, AVI, FLV etc...

    Then you should be able to splice your vid and the title screen together

    That's crazy. They're usually tiny when you buy them. Personally I don't like mine. :)

    I didn't like mine at first, but now that the leaves are the size of a 50cent piece..it's starting to look good!

    Yeah, when I got it the leaves were tiny. The new ones that have grown are pretty large.

    Hey Anthony I just got about an 18 inch piece of mopani in the mail that I don't think i'm going to use. I'll bring it along when I get those filters from you and you can see if you like it.

    Thanks for the PM I was so tired last night I was starting to think I dreamed posting that.

    I just bought 3 pieces and they came in Thursday. I think the big piece was around $20 with the shipping but I would have to double check. I can take a picture for you Sunday when I get home or I could just show you when I meet you. BTW I would like to get those filters from you this up-coming week if possible.

    Wow Anthony That looks great. I see your swords have changed appearance now that they are being grown submerged. They still look really good though.

    BTW just noticed the new smilies. They are kinda weird looking. Cool though.

    Also here is a quick snapshot of that driftwood. The white is just Styrofoam that will come right off. The piece is 24 inches.

    Thanks.

    I think that piece is going to be a bit awkward to fit into the tank at that size.

    Hey Anthony...your tanks looking a bit bare..J/k
    That or mine is a freakin jungle!

    I'm soo lovin the swords...If I had a chance/space to do a smaller tank I think I would also go that route!

    And how in the world are you keeping that white coral substrate clean my friend? I tried a light color once and it was a nightmare. It kept turning green/red against the front and sometimes on top also. Then again that was earlier on in my fishkeeping and god knows the amount of things I did wrong back then. Lol! At least you learn from your mistakes!

    Yours is a jungle. :)

    I really like the swords too. I'm happy that I didn't add other plants to the tank.

    Keeping it white requires skills. :) Vacuuming it every week keeps it clean.

    Apparently I need to steal your skills. I do the every week vacuum! Lol.
    Still too wussy to try it though. :)
