SaltyGallon Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So will the tank be coming down after the comp closes mate? That'd be a shame, it's one of my favourites! 1 Quote Link to comment

Super hard to keep the tiki hut and volcano clean, so I've given up. They will just stay brown and fuzzy until the contest ends.

I will be out of town for 2 weeks after the contest is over, so it just seems easier to have 1 less tank to stress about while I'm gone. I may have another project in the works, however, for when I get back from vacation. Or maybe N-R will have another contest that I can join. 5 Quote Link to comment

Thank you for being a part of the Old School Pico Reef Competition! ❤️ Awesome! Will do. Just need to get a good last FTS now (recap part is already done). I've been waiting for my toadstool to cooperate. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted October 24, 2019 Author Share Posted October 24, 2019 I was happy to see my toadstool finally open after being closed up for a few days, but now my GSP is closed up. 🤦 Getting this last FTS may take awhile. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 This is NOT my official final FTS. Just a practice run. GSP still not cooperating and torch wasn't as opened up as I would like. So will try again tomorrow. I feel the pressure now! 10 2 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Can you play around a bit to try to light the tiki hut better? Not sure if that would involve Photoshop, spot lighting, a flash, or other camera settings; but I think it might look nice to see more detail. BTW, your tank looks great. 3 Quote Link to comment

My first thought was that the tank looks great! My second was that the shot looks a little dark. 4 Quote Link to comment

Well I guess this is why it's a practice run. LOL. I'll work on getting a better FTS. I'll do my best to deliver! And thanks for the feedback. :) 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Getting a good shot of this tank has been challenging at times, but hopefully I can get one last solid FTS in before time runs out. Good luck to us all! 6 Quote Link to comment
