Cool. Looks like you have a nice variety of fish in there. That majestic nice to your corals?
What kind of camera are you using? It looks like you took some with a flash and some without, right? Looks like if you could do some white balance adjusting you'd get more color and contrast out of your corals on the non-flash pictures.

Majestic Angel is absolutely outstanding in my tank. Doesn't mess with anything and I have had her for about 2 years maybe longer - lose track of time.
I don't have a fancy camera it is an Olympus FE-120. All of these photos were in the auto mode with flash off for the most part. I have a couple more I haven't posted yet and I know one is with the flash. If anyone knows how to use this camera more efficiently that would be great.

I can understand why you have never taken pics of your tank before, if my tank looked like that I would not take pics I would be asking for advise. Perhaps you could go to your local fish store with a water sample and ask a few questions on how to get that mess into shape. Good luck with the tank. YIKES!
Wassup Duhwayne, looks good to me.

Here is a little profile on your camera. Says it has settings for white balance. http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Olympus/oly_fe120.asp
They don't have a complete review on it, so not sure on learning more on how to use it, other than reading the manual or going into the dpreview forum and asking for advice.
Click on your menu button and see if there is a selection for white balance. On my old, outdated Nikon Coolpix 3200, I go in there and tell it to measure for me, then point it at the white sandbed and press the button for it to measure. Not a perfect way to do white balance, but it seems to work ok. Then I take non-flash pics at that setting that come out pretty well color-wise.

Actually I was concerned about that and thought that I would bring a sample by your joint and have you tell me how to correct the aweful mess
Shooter 7 - thanks I will look into it.

Looks great Big D. Now, just get rid of those pesky soft corals and get some Acros in there
Thanks! I was actually thinking about going predominantly LPS at some point. For some strange reason I just really like the softies I got. Maybe I'll get over it:rollface:
bmrescort and dphinsx2 - thanks for the support. What kind of bus do you need - school bus, greyhound, an old VW bus - what? I promise I'll just lay there like the Dolphins.

What "player haters"? I don't see anybody saying anything bad about the tank. And it's obvious, to me anyway, that dphins was just giving him a hard time/kidding.
Actually I agree with him.. pics look like hell Dwayne. Buck up and get a better camera... for that matter I need one too!!! LOL
Shooter glad to see you mark yourself confused.. it was a joke son a joke....
