CHEN! thanks....

also I found a good website for anyone else looking to take some of the tank. this is geared to taking tank photos.

I set a Manual white balance on the camera by making my own Expodisk. basically I put a piece of tissue between teh tank and the lens and took an unfocused image. it was perfect grey so I used that as my white balance. all these were taken just holding the camera to the tank. No tripod. I even left the water on, so I know I can get super sharp ones with the tripod and the pumps completely off.

Green Zoanthids.

Grape Sherbert from Harry

purple stag from Gflat

Tinkerbell from Bart/Zef

Green Table Acro from New Wave - Mel I think this came from Bill's tank at one point.

Blue tipped Acro from Smyrna Reefer

rainbow Poci from Harry.

One tip to get white balance I use a white PVC pipe in the tank to get my setting.

Now you are starting to learn to use your camera. The quality in some of these images is very nice.
