Nice shots. I think the tank looks great. I like a tank to look busy!

Looks good. Do you have any problems with your mushrooms killling any of the SPS.

Did you grow out the SPS from frags or were they wild colonies??

thanks to everyone for your kind comments. the tank has not been without its problems in the past....but it is comeing back nicely.... to answer a few questions.....
for the camera i am using a Konica Minalta Z2
4 megapixal it is an ok camer. it has taken a lot of shots to figure out the best way to expose a good pic.

none at all. i have never had that problem they seem to grow around each other...

THANK YOU , I like a busy looking tank also..a lot of the rock in the tank dates back nearly 8 yrs, so there has been a lot of seeding and population of many differant colonys that have just popped up all over the place.

Most were wild caught but there are many that are grown out from frags from local reefer...

I have had to play with the setting a lot..my camera has macro and and super macro setting. i have found that i just ignore the macro altogether and just shoot in regular mode. i dont use the flash at all and i place the lens right against the font glass. if i try to take a picture from a foot or two away, the camera always focuses on the glass and the tank becomes grainy. you can see the differance fri=om the close ups i took and the full tank or section shots of larger areas. they were taken from several feet back. the differance is clear.....
again thanks for the kind comments.. if you have any more questions.. feel free to post.. jaime
0h!!! On a greater note. Our reef club has been granted a tour oF the ORA marine research institute.. for those of you who do not know ,ORA is probably the largest saltwater fish breeder in the country as well as the largest coral propagation facility also... we are very excited. if i can take pictures at the facility i wilL post them saturday nite or sunday for all to see..........jaime

Can I ask what the coral on the left in the very first picture is? I have growing as a hitchhiker, and would love to know what it is!
Thanks

Looks very nice overall. But I gotta be honest, none of the stoney corals really look like they're thriving. Chemical warfare perhaps?
