I took pictures for everyone, and the following is the reason I'm reluctant to do it. I can't do photography. I tried to white balance and it just wasn't happening. Some of these pictures came out and some didn't. The tank has a microbubble problem because I had to clean the prescreens. I have about 200# of rubble coming in today and that should fix this. Notice the window in the door is all the kids pictures. I thought that up a while back. The kids are always coloring and drawing so I had Sarah save me their artwork and they got so excited that I got enough pictures to laminate them into a couple window coverings. Everybody enjoys them. Especially the artists!

Sequential pictures of the front panel.

Sequential pictures of the side panel.
You can see in the front panel pics the 1" 45's that the side wave input got routed to.

Its looks a lot better in person. Thats the main reason I got peter to do the pictures. I should have those in a week or two. Thats been a fiasco! But now that I know the proper channels to go through it will be better next time.

Beautiful!
The kids should be proud--they can draw much better than I can (although that's not saying much)!

Great photo update.. thanks! There's some really beautiful fish and coral in there!

Thanks everyone. I think I'll give it another go but I'll turn off some of the lights. I noticed that the other tanks I took pictures of came out better, but their at lower Wattage. Maybe if I unplug one bank I can get better pictures out of it. The Christmas wrasse was all over me when I was taking pictures. And the Picsasso clown wouldn't hold still!

Yeah, I noticed that one about a week ago. I was hoping to get a copperband for it but will be killing it myself. I also noticed an aptasia yesterday. Booger got a little too big for his hiding hole and got spotted. The good thing about catching these in such a large tank is that the kids don't have time to notice them and become attached.
