Thanks for the replies all ;) No Nanoman123, Ive never heard of him, but would love to meet a fellow reefer from my area. Although Im going to school for photo, aquarium photography is one thing I havent quite got the hang of, I take hundreds of pics to get one good one ;) One day I will invest in a better dig camera, or the proper lens for my film cameras, but right now I make do with my ancient sony mavica. The main thing that makes it easier for me is to turn off all the current in the tank, and turn the lights off in the room. It also helps to be very patient :D As ive mentioned I havent mastered tank photography yet, so my full tank shots are not that great. I took one from the right side a few days ago that is not the best shot, but gives you a pretty good idea of the tank and its inhabitants. Most of my corals are kept pretty small due to constant fragging, and I only keep a few specific fish. The tank is a 75 gallon dominated by sps corals and clams, its lit with dual 400 watt MH, and dual actinic 110 watt VHOs, with some other goodies like a geo built Ca reactor, and an etss super reef devil DD skimmer. There are dozens of pics of the individual inhabitants on my website, link in my sig. The tank will be three years old this december, although most of the corals and fish have been with me for 6+ years. Happy Reefing ;)
