A small attempt at a build thread :(

I have fooled with this darn computer and my camera software for about 3 hours this morning and can't get it figured out! SO until tonight when I have more time to get my photobucket accout to work right here is a 3 pics of the tank as it is now....

Now off to Bill's house to help frag stuff only 1 hour late! On my way Bill .

Angela... looks like you put a lot of time/effort into the rock work. With a dual sided tank you cannot afford to be even a bit sloppy and it looks great!

Will look even better once those really white rocks are toned down a bit... and all that takes is some time.

Looks awesome, Angela! The fish in the second pic is a little scary, not sure which species that is, but I suppose its all good.

Looks great, Angela. I, too, can't wait until I have a tank I can view from more than three sides.

Wow, incredibly great looking, awesome scaping! How much rock is in there, roughly? This is a 270, right?

Thanks guys, I worked for HOURS trying to load pics from a 2 gig card with over a thousand shots... Sometimes to much memory is a bad thing when you need to scan through pics!!! And my PC sills are lacking to say the least!

The rockscape was interesting. Me. Bill and Rhett was working on only one side for a long time totally forgetting it had a "back" side veiwable also!! It fell into place nice though.

Yes I need some major coraline growth since I dried out 99% of the rock! The color of my point and shoot is awfull and I hate it for the tank shots, everything comes out way blue!! And on the # of rock its not really true to what most would guage as poundage since most of it is tonga and is VERY dence. One peice alone on the end weighed a whopping 50 lbs almost but has no holes or crevices. I would say I have about 200lbs but another 100 or so in the sump of the leftover stuff.

OK I am sitting down again to work on uploading the best pics and make a running thread. I have under the house shots and everything. Just was wanting to get at least one pic up of all the hard work!

At the moment, your white balance is at Auto with no flash......that should work, but apparently, it's not.

You might try setting your white balance to flourescent, or, position yourself at a slight angle to the glass and using a flash.

Just a suggestion.

Looks great Ang...

Is that a Glass Cages tank?

A quick way to auoc orret colors is to open the picture with Microsoft Picture Editor (right click the picture name and Open With Microsof Picture manager, if you have it). that or you can open the picture and right click on the picture and click Edit. From MPM, clikc the Auto Correct Button and it will adjust colors. Sometimes, the colors still aren't right, but this is a quick way to get closer. I get better auto correction from Photoshop, (takes longer to do, though).
