Heres a front view of my tank. There are also a couple more located on my website if you care to visit it. The URL is listed below.
They are pretty bad as Im not sure how to take good pics. It looks good on the view finder and then when I take the pic it all goes out of focus. Whats the best way to take a good digital picture. Whats the secret.

I would also like to invit you all to ask questions on my tank or make comments on what you think I should change etc.

Thanks for any feedback.
Josh

I would also like to give credit to Jon (Canadian Man) for the stand idea which I got after visiting his house. Thanks Jon

if you are linking to a page use the URL tabs.. if you want to use the img tabs youi have to link the address to a specific picture.

how do you link it to a specific picture

You can't link webpages, just image URL's. Image URL's usually end with ".jpg" or ".gif".

So you want to wrap your IMG tags with something like this:

3 ideas:

1. Use the Quick Shutter option (Needs good lighting)
2. Use a tripod
3. Use image processing software for resizing and image sharpening. I use BreezeBrowser from BreezeSys.

well the picture above works sometimes, and other times not.
Not sure why that would be.

As far as I know the digital camera we have will not allow you to change the shutter speed. Could this be correct or am I just missing something.
Its a Olympus D-520 Zoom with 2.0 megapixel.

Hey Josh,
That's quite the setup you've got going on there!

First things first....that hair algae has got to go!

Without us going through all your previous posts, have you listed in the past your system specs, how long it's been set up, ect.? If so, can you point us to them?

Thanks,
Mitch

Try using something other than Geocities...It might work. I just tried using Imagestation and so far so good.

I have been fighting the hair for a while now.
I just got a RO unit for Christmas so I hope that will do the trick.

The system has been up for almost 2 years in which about 8 months of that was hair algea free. Then it came back to hunt me.

ph 8.4
ammonia 0
nitrates 0
nitrites 0
Alk 10 dkh
calcium 280 ( low but I dont have any corals)
specfic gravity 1.025
Temp 79

75 pounds of figi live rock
2 25 watt NO (looking to upgrade to MH soon so i can keep corals)

1 coral beauty
1 clown
1 banggai cardinal
20 assorted snails
1 fighting conch

And a crapload of hair algea, and small feather dusters.

Circulated by a mag 5
1 hagen 400 powerhead.
30 gallon sump (left side tank)
1 crapy seacone skimmer (with modifications)

I hope thats enough.
Josh
