Rainbow Acans...let see em

[hapka16]

Thanks! I'm using this camera http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-DMC...32566487&sr=8-2

what settings do you have your cam on cuz i've got a similar camera but a fujifilm s700. is it macro or super macro...etc?

I love the acans, but the intense colors seem to fade in my tank..?

Some of them must be shaded or in very low light to keep those intense colors.

Others love the light....I dont get it, but eventually you find the right spots in the tank

I put it on manual and then use the macro function

Ahh thanks so much. I have a hard time catching the true colors cuz my t5's are more on the blue end.

agreed, you can also try mounting them vertically on LR, this seems to work the best for acans and chalices in my tank that don't like tons of light, the vertical position diffuses the light just enought to make the colors really pop, plus it's a cool way of mounting frags imho
