| I snapped some really quick pic's the other night, right after I did a bunch of scraping and mucking up the water.... So yeah they suck but oh well. They turned out a lot more blue than what it looks like in person. I had my settings wrong in my camera but I think I have them set now so I will get more pic's tonight and post them up. The tank is a standard 75g 4' tank. I have a Vortech MP20 and a Koralia 1050 in the tank for circulation. I have a 6 bulb T5 DIY setup for lighting. And the skimmer is a Reef Octopus NW150 modded by Luke to pull twice the air as stock. Back side of the tank.  Front FTS  End of peninsula  Orange Monti cap  Birdsnest and Acro  Big blue with his little buddy's  New Scoly  7" French Poly Maxima  3" Crocea  4.5" Squamosa FUCKING PHOTO BUCKET!!!  Aussie Elegance with purple tips  Black and tan teardrop maxima and blue spot Squamosa  Fungia plate  4" Maxima  Frogspawn with SATAN  Neon orange eye Favia  Frogspawn  The Haitians..  Lots of stuff going on here....  Purple deaths from J  4" Maxima  Maze brain?  7" Squamosa  2" Maxima  Aussie Acan  Orange crush  Sunset Monti growing very quickly  Chalice  Trachy  Lawnmower peeking over the clam  |

| Some nice stuff man.. if you took a little time out and learn how to white balance the pictures they would look a lot better. There is a program called "GIMP" I used to use that auto WB photos.. its freeware so it's easy get and use. Try it out  |

| Yeah I had it set correctly then I added 2 more blue bulbs to the mix and it all went south on me. I was messing with it the other night trying the PVC in tank method and couldn't get it set right. Then I took a pic of my stand and it came out perfect so I think I have it on the right track now. |

| ^usually cameras have a hard time with our lighting. Even my SX20IS has a floro light and an aquarium setting for balance.. and neither of them can capture my T5 or LED system... in a standard 65-10k PC setup sure.. but higher lighting? I usually have to hit up CS4. _________________  -Travmaster Kraylen- -Project: Jenova- Oceanic Tech 70g LED Main Display -Project: Ghostbox- 47g LED Propagation Tank How long until I get banned from THIS forum?

| All I did was started taking shots of things with my preset white balance setting. I found that snapping my wood stand which is no where near white gives me the best pic's in my tank. Now outside the tank is a different story and I need to change it back and fourth to get good pic's. |

| So you wood balanced? Sounds like a male stripper trick you have to pay a lot extra for. _________________  -Travmaster Kraylen- -Project: Jenova- Oceanic Tech 70g LED Main Display -Project: Ghostbox- 47g LED Propagation Tank How long until I get banned from THIS forum? "  |
