nice tank and some nice pictures. not to get off topic but i have tried taking pics of my tank and closeups and can't get my pictures to come out right at all so what kind of cameras are you guys using or special settings if you don't mind me asking?

The tang does have hole in the head. Someone gave that sail fin tang to me a few weeks ago and i only have a 20 QT and had to put to in the main tank. I would like to give a a bigger home, so if anybody with a large tank wants a 7+ inch red sea salfin they can have him.

I am using about a 6 year old Fuji S3100. it has a 6X zoom and is only 4 megapixels. it also macro capabilities down to 2 inches i believe. i basically use the auto settings with no flash and a tripod. for real close shots i use the macro and lean the lens right against the glass for stability. For better shots of fish moving i would use the "action" settings on the camera . nothing fancy but i always use the highest quality settings on the camera. it gives a bigger file/pic but when you zoom in you can go farther before it becomes grainy. hope it helps.

camaro if you want to pm me and maybe i can come and shoot some pics for you. your not far.
