Then why advertise it that way. Why not say the coverage area is 20" X 30". I would ask ecotech, but their site is currently down.

Wow here too
It looks great.
Have you tried reading through the photography section? There are some good tips there about ISO, shutter speed and such.
Good luck with the camera.
I'm lucky as my Sony will, with the flash off, take pics in rapid succession and stitch them together.

Okay last reply regarding the lights.

I turned them and yes there was a bit less light spilling out the front and back. But in my 4' X 2' tank there was no discernable light change in the tank. I don't have a PAR meter to measure though. But visually it looked the same. I guess it depends on the size of your tank.

And yes Coralgurl, you tank is looking amazing. I promise not to hijack it again. You were the inspiration for mine.

No worries on the lighting comments, I hung them this way as it's the way I saw them on Daves tank at concept. They are all spaced evenly across the top, I wanted good front to back coverage, and I don't notice lights spilling over. I'm already noticing coral growth, zoas that were melting in the other tank are sprouting babies etc. Plus I've got a healthy batch of cyano.... dispute the red slime, really enjoying this tank!

Thanks for the comments!!

Yep, I've gone thru the photography section, looked at websites for aquarium photography etc, it's getting better. I didn't turn off the flow, so that doesn't help. More practice but actually thinking of taking a course.

I think your tank looks great, girl!

What's going on with the old 55?
