There is a link in the first post that will take you to the original build thread started in 2008 but I have to warn you it is quite large.
You can also check my TOTM article from April 2010 for the "readers digest" version. Here is a link -

Greg if i where closer i'd happily take the right side of that purple dragon.Don't worry i wouldn't mind to take that smaller part
Like both corals in the last pic:beer:
Thanks Mike that is very generous of you. Yes as you can see from the disc I glued two frags side by side so I could get double the fun -eventually.

Below are a couple of "almost in focus" pictures I took with the Nikon yesterday - still struggling to find the right setting, distance, and focus points. The color is getting closer but still not quite and it seems to have a mind of it's own.
In this example - this color is close, maybe because the flash came on when I didn't want it to but still not sharp & in complete focus.
In this one - Hawkins - color is washed out, and focus is way off
Getting a bit closer in these two but still not in "sharp focus"
Finally in this one the color is getting closer but too much glare & once again the focus sucks!
The really sad part is I took well over 100 shots to end up with these few poor examples that are the best of the bunch. :facepalm:
They were are all taken through the glass not top down and because the front pane is tempered Starphire it can distort a bit when viewing from an angle so that might also be part of my problem.
Also was in JPEG not RAW because I couldn't figure out how to switch the settings.I also didn't bother with a tripod - I know that should help as well.
Is the camera completely perpendicular to the glass? I find that that also makes a difference. Tripod makes a difference. Your saturation is good though. Water movement also plays a big part.
It may also be time for a higher end lens?
I can almost shut my tank down. I just have to look at your tank and i'm good!
Is that a Red Planet on the right??
I took that camera back - I need something that is less fussy & more forgiving. I agree a tri-pod makes a big difference and generally use one when shooting through the glass.
Thanks very much
Thank you
Thanks I will try to grow it into a decent size colony over the next few years.
