Photomicrography - Algae

I have been playing a bit with my microscope and under 4x, 10x and 40x objectives I managed to capture these pictures of various macro algae. Try to identify them... (PS Go to my reef gallery for the answers)

A classic

(From CodeSOD: The Pyramid of Error)

if (error)
  if (fprintf(stderr,"An error occured while writing to the file")<0){
    if (fprintf(stderr,"An error occured while writing to stderr")<0){
      if (fprintf(stderr,"An error occured while writing to stderr")<0){
        if (fprintf(stderr,"An error occured while writing to stderr")<0){
          if (fprintf(stderr,"An error occured while writing to stderr")<0){
            return fprintf(stderr, "An error occured while writing to stderr");
            /* lets stop here, its enough */
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }

Death

My new bamboo shark died yesterday night. So too did my hawk fish that I sucked up when I siphoned my tank for the hypo treatment. This is very depressing. The whole reason I ordered the bigger tank was for the shark. To help keep the nitrates down. I guess we learn the hard way. Just because your aquarium is 6 months+ old does not mean you can add fish more quickly.

Holy crap!

And I thought my 70-200mm F2.8 Canon L lens was cool.... At least I can carry it ;)
