Image quality isn't good. That's with the 22K and Actinic so it's nice and blue once daylights are off. Can't seem to get the white balance right.

Anyway, this was taken this afternoon. Two nights ago I tore everything out of the tank and used a wire brush to scrape off all the Hair Algae that was overtaking my tank.

I ran out of RO water tonight while rinsing out the new sand, so if anyone was wondering, it won't be BB. I also but up my blue background again after I took the pic.

Here's my most recent one as I attempt to regain color in my SPS

Additionally, does anyone have recommendations for settings (manual or otherwise) for getting the best out of my Canon G10 camera when taking full tank shots? I can do a little post-processing in Aperture to try to get things back to reality but I'd really appreciate any insight with respect to taking nice pics with this particular camera.

All I did was get rid of the stock current USA bulbs, I replaced them with

Blue+
75/25
fiji purple
Aqua sun

I'm going to Calgary next week end and planning on picking up some more bulbs and possibly another fixture so not sure if I'm going to stick with the same mix or add a little more blue.

If the pic is fairly accurate in color I think you could get away with a little more blue.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out how to correct my white balance and exposure in my tank shots and here's a better photo:

Gorgeous tank Canadian

I'll post this one since I just moved everything to a 5.5 gallon. Much better... I'll be scraping this one religiously.
