Sorry I just hogged up so much space! Please dont boot me off here! I think I did it the right way but I am no puter expert nore a very good picture taker! all coments welcome and apreciated.

But looks, well...Hmmm. SHAKY!

 

Try moving a chair near your tank and setting the camera on books on the chair. If it has a timer on it, point it at what you want, hit the timer, and step back so your hands don't shake it! If it hasn't got a timer, just relax, exhale, rest arms and camera on the chair, get comfortable, push button sloooooowly and gently.

 

Should be able to get better photos that way. I was lucky, I bought a camera to shoot little painted toy soldier dudes 28mm tall, so once I tripodded it for stability it does GREAT tank photos.

 

But just bracing should help a bunch.

 

Be well!

Cool tank. Is that a dragon candle on top of the tank? If it is my buddy gots one too. I'm so tempted to light it.

[SaltyDawg]

Nope its made of some sort of polymer. It is totaly water proof. Got it for 10 bucks at the flea markett. I am thinking of buying a bunch and selling them on E-bay. Everyone that has seen it wants one too. Thatnk you for the coment as well. All are welcome. I apologize again for the blurry pic's!

nice setup, i wouldn't call it 'ghetto' tho, it's good.

 

that 'tube' anemone doesn't really look like one. um, it kinda (fuzzy pic) looks like a honking big aiptasia. :

[SaltyDawg]

Yeah thats what I found out it was yesterday after looking at a lot of pics. There are like 8 of them on one tiny little rock. So far they havent spread or mooved off the rock. It is in the middle of the tank and not touching any thing but sand. Do they spread like mad and become a real big problem? btw thanks for the compliment .
