Your thread/tank is amazing...
TOTM was well deserved and long overdue!
Oh by the way; I had just convinced my wife that once we buy another place, that I would put "our" new tank in the garage (built in so it could be seen in the living room).
Then I showed her the picture below, which is of the back of your tank. Her response was a long pause, and a rather confused facial expression, and she said "do you really need all of that?".

jarhed: Thanks.
NexDog: Actually, crayon. I'm getting better.
NeilsReef: Thanks for the kind words. Let your wife know that you only need all of this if you want to keep fish. Corals require twice as much.
capt. insano, maxxII & Marc: Agreed.
A few more shots...

NexDog: The Canon Digital Rebel with 100 mm macro lens.
jarhed: That's too bad as it's a gorgeous piece color wise.

Hef: Thanks and it's partly a depth of field benefit as well as the fact that the subject is most often ultra brightly lit by the metal halide lights. The camera compensates for this (exposure) and renders most everything else (background) much darker.

I can understand how you get your corals to remain still enough to take these beautiful photos, but the Henoichus Butterfly?!?!?!
I have had one in QT for three or four weeks and can only catch a blur of him. That's a great shot! I may have to resort to one handed photography during feeding time to capture mine

Bax: That shot was one that actually came out of about fifteen. The other fourteen were trash worthy only. I used the continuous-shot mode and followed him around the tank as he swam with auto focus enabled, which is faster than I am in manual mode. I was actually lucky to get one from those fifteen. It's the likes of "Nope, nope, nope, nope, ooh... a nice one, nope, nope, nope. This is where digital photography has a huge advantage. I could have continued shooting fifty shots looking for the perfect one with no cost involved aside from the time to do so.

I was at a friends house last night and took a few shots of his reef tank. Here's a few photos for your perusal...

He's using a shallow depth of field to get that.
If your camera allows you to change your settings, (most point and shoots dont unfortunately), you can get the same effect by using a larger F-stop. This gets kinda weird since a larger F-stop is actually a lower number, (IE...an F-stop of 2.8 is larger than 4.5).
Its easier to think of in this manner....F-stop represents how much light you are letting into the camera, but in an exponential manner. F-stop 2.8 lets in twice as much light as Fstop 3.5, etc.
Just like in reefkeeping though, everything you do on a camera affects something else. By opening up your F-stop and allowing more light, you reduce the depth of field and you increase the shutter speed, (More light means more exposure means faster shutter speed).
Hope that all makes sense.....
Here is a thread on another forum which will help explain things better and in more detail.

Here's an article by GregR of the Photography forum, and he goes into a good explanation of DOF: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-11/gr/index.php
