First Pics of my tank!

[Lofter]

It's about 2 and half months old... Pics were taken with Atinics on only. I'm still learning this new camera and digital photography in general so bear with me.

Looks good - nice rockscaping - how big is your tank?

[Lofter]

Hmm a few more...

[Lofter]

Kevin, it's a 160 Gal... Crazy thing is the right half of that arch is actually only one rock. It was a 50lbs. beaut picked up from Tom and Flav.

[Lofter]

Ok maybe I wasn't done... Too excited.

[Lofter]

last macro for now... Thanks for lookin'

[Lofter]

Thanks for the compliment Kevin!

[KevinFJB]

You're welcome - 50 llbs! Nice purchase - was it part of ORG's last Bali shipment?

[TJ_Burton]

Thanks, number 2 if you are counting the full tank shot is a Purple, yellow tipped Torch and number 5s are Richordias. I got both of those from CanadianReef (Thanks PJ).

Nice aquascaping. I really like the way you have set up your LR. Well done!

Very cool aquascaping. Wow, a fifty pound rock. Nice shape!! I bet your eyes lit up when you saw that one.

[Dr. Tom]

That 50lb trophy-piece was worth the $300-400 price tag! It really sets up your tank nicely.

My favorite macro is the ricordea colony. How many individuals are in it? I can count at least a dozen!

What photoshop software are you using? The 'auto adjust' button might be what you would want to use to give the white balance back. That said, I think the actinic shots are spectacular!

[Lofter]

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'll try out the auto-bal in photoshop. I have yet to figure out how to custom set white balance in the camera.

The 50#er was from a recent ORG Walt Smith order. When I saw it I was like Tom I'm not sure it's going to fit. Went back the next day and said Tom... I'll make it fit.

What was a real PITA was aquascaping. You can see both sides of the tank so once I thought I had the scaping done on one side the other looked off. After my neck was sore I decided ok got the arch, lets throw the rest of the rocks over here and try again tomorrow. After I did that I got off the ladder and looked and went hey that's not bad. I think the secret to aquascaping is actually not trying... LOL.

Here is a shot from the other side of the tank.

Very nice, love the color of your corals under Actinics, they glow like a candy..
And the rockwork in not shabby as well, what size is the tank I know you mentioned 160G but the dimensions is it 5ft or 6ft long?

[the_one]

looks great

[Lofter]

Red-Sea it's 5' long but alittle more than 2 feet tall.
