I for one don't hope your tank crashes for I feel that is an absolutley horrible thing to say BMW///M3! You may be pushing the limits with the number of tangs in your tank but I hope you care for them well in the near future when they get to big by either trading them for smaller fishes or upgrading your tank. That is quite the bioload you have there, but great looking tank. Watch closely for aggression issues. Good Luck With your tank plyr58.

BMW: I wish I could say that I was surprised by that reaction, but this type of comment is why so many people get turned off to this forum and to the hobby. You know nothing about me, my situation, or my tanks. So, if you don't think something is right, or are concerned about something, then voice your opinion or ask a question without being a jerk. Otherwise keep your mouth shut. I thought these kinds of things were taught in kindergarten. Guess you missed the lesson.

Guess even with a P&S you can get better results that this as your pics don't do justice to your tank.
1- Clean your glass before taking pictures as they'll distort your images and mess your focus in addition to looking ugly.
2-Work a bit on your composition. Avoiding the lights above the tank (pic 1) and having the camera staright horizontal wise
3-shoot perpendicular tot he glass this is the shortest way through glass and therefore the least distortions.
4 make sure your camera can focus at the distance from your subject.
5 with P&S autofocus is slow so one alternative is to position your camera and work everything (composition angle exposure...) and then autofocus (or lock focus if your camera allows it) and wait for the fish to go in frame and then just click to take the shot.
6 use a tripod if your camera can attach to one, if not support your camera on a chair, table or maybe straight on the front glass if your lens front element does not protrude.
7 if your camera has shuter or aperture mode... use a fast shutter speed for fish shots and make sure the camera still has enough light to cope with your shutter (1/60 and faster would be good)you can increase your ISO if your shots are dark. for corals use aperture mode and chose the smallest aperture(bigger number) to maximize your deapth of field. if your camera doesn't have those modes you can always up your ISO or maybe use sports mode for fish shots...
Nice tank and fish collection would love to see them in the bigger tank.
As for the replies you got, multiple tangs in a tank always heat up the conversations however the level of agression I see on this forum is way less than what exists on other discussion boards.
