![]() Tank looks really nice! Maybe try using a tripod and making sure that the focus confirmation is on (or back off a bit and use the highest quality photo setting, then you can zoom and crop later). As well you could try using the white balance. Find something white (say a piece of PVC or something) and take a photo of it in your tank using the white balance setting, that should help with the colors

![]() The tank looks great.
As Christie said, Don't zoom in just move closer or crop later and check the white balance. I often find just setting the camera to a "SUN" setting for the white balance works for my bulbs (14K Phoenix) -jeff |

![]() Yeah I'm definitely going to go the sump route. It's just that I'm renting and I have had some issues with tank overflows while using sumps in the past. I figure if I set up float switches in my display tank to turn off the system pump in the event of an overflow failure, that will elimiate that. Don't you think? Also, thanks for the tips on the photography, I'll defnitiely try that stuff. I'm so "camera-illiterate"!

![]() You have to set up your system so that if the power goes out, the water that flows back into the sump does not overflow the sump. Controled with vaccum breaks and the original level of water in the sump.
I do not yet have a sump, so could someone with more knowledge chime in here? |

![]() yes, as I see it, the two biggest problems would be:
1. failure of the overflow with the subsequent overflow of the display by the system pump pumping the water out of the sump 2. failure of the system pump with the subsequent overflow of the sump with display tank water If the sump has large enough void space and float switches are installed on the display to turn off the sytem pump, this should elimiate (or at least reduce the chances of) both possibilities, right? Oh, the dimensions of the tank are 36X18X20. Thanks for the comments so far! Keep 'em coming! |
