hahaha nice try but thats an old tank lol i may go buy a crappy old point and shoot camera today and take some pics, i have a fuji film but its old and discontinued and i am fighting to get good pics with it i do use a tri pod with it but all my pics come out dark/blue or spotty....my camera does let me adjust the white balance but the rest of the settings are pretty basic and taking fts shots always come out dull, it seems like if i zoom in its fuzzy and you cant make out whats in the tank and thats from only 4ft away....my close ups dont com out bad but they have to be really close and on the tri pod lol heres a example and i guess a fts too lol


http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/a...g?t=1327164093


as you can see everything looks so far away you cant make out any of my coral, for example the carpet is around 20" in diameter, the frog on the left is the size of a large grapefruit, the elegance on the far left is around 12-14" in length and swells pretty big......but yet they seem so tiny and so blurry lol

we will see if i can get any better shots with a cheap newer camera:p

sphelps 01-21-2012 03:39 PM

Pic looks good to me! I like the new tank better.

im my own worst critic im sure lol it just bugs me because the tank looks great in person no algae all my corals are growing and colors are great, my fuge is doing incredible.....and i have no proof to show off and the pics just dont do it justice at all lol i guess i could photoshop and see if it helps but then its not quite natural feels like cheating lol

thanks buddy:)

Meh, I don't think anyone is ever really happy with there FTSs, you can never capture everything and the overall effect is never the same. Some people would probably post nude photos of themselves over a FTS :lol:

no_bs 01-21-2012 04:20 PM

Woohooo, someone say nude photos!!

I like the new tank. It looks like you have a lot of room for a few big tangs in there but how come there is no fish ??

Nano 01-22-2012 03:35 AM

The "16.5" soon to be retired. as you can see this is why I havent shared any photos! I figured since its getting transferred into the 35 soon, might as well post a so long FTS of it. Hopefully in the new tank I'll be able to get the hang of this "making things look nice" thing lol.

My FOWLR + some softies started in about 2004. I have been tempted in the past to upgrade the lights and equipment so I can keep more but in the end what I have has worked so far and the maintenance is fairly easy so I keep my fingers crossed and enjoy what I have.

Removed.

sphelps 01-23-2012 08:28 PM

Love the tank but I think the idea is to post a FTS and not a dozen close ups. There are other places you could post such things.

actually, his tank looks pretty full, and he posted lots of photos, so I'd say those are definitely Full Tank photos.

Loving the LED look Greg, the Metal halide seems to wash out the coral color but those LED's are freaking CRISP!

Btw how big is that beasty of a Sailfin?

I'm really loving the crisp look as well, the Sailfin is just an itty bitty guy about 7" nose to tail & about 10" with his fins fully extended.

If you really loved tangs you'd never keep one never mind three in an over stocked 29g biocube :evil: Doesn't matter that they are small that is just not right, they need way room to swim :sad:

Your LFS should know better and not make such deals
