so quite being so cheep and put more tokens in

I would rather drive in cow town any day than vancouver though, even victoria is getting horable. what used to be a 20 min drive home for 15km, is now taking people 45 min and up. now kamloops I like. rush hour just adds 3 min on a 18km drive, so now it takes 15 min to get home from down town

oh the tank is looking good also, but what about a FTS?

I can't do FTS photos. I try, but they end up being very out of focus with no real discernible details. I thought maybe I could try a panoramic/stitch once, but after cropping and resizing it ended up being the same effect. Except that I had ghost fishes. Not sure what the trick is but I'll keep trying in the meantime.

Default Major photo update!!

I guess the reef is now two years old! Wow.

Anyhow, so over the holiday break, Kien and I traded some frags. He was kind enough to bring his camera with him and snap a couple photos. I'm so glad he did, I swear the guy is magic, I look at these photos and can hardly believe they are of my tank.

To start with, a couple FTS.. (please don't mind the masking tape, I'm still painting the basement.. Also the water is sort of cloudy in some of the pictures because my kid really wanted to feed the fish a clam from T&T while this was all happening, so there was a feeding frenzy in the front corner for a bit there..)

Anyhow with no further ado ... PICTURES!!

Front view..





Corner view.. I love this angle..


And from the side looking down the long way .. I also really love looking in at this angle:


And, one thing that struck me lately in my own attempts in FTS lately (all of which have failed so far, it's a rather challenging tank to take a good FTS on) is that in my attempt to aquascape "differently and interestingly", I created a downwards slope of the base reef. I may, in fact, take it on as a project later this year to rescape it a little so that it builds up as you go further back). Anyhow, the bottom line is that you get a more interesting FTS view if you look from high up and aim downwards. Check it out:



And some scene shots of the various bommies in the tank:
