The best a poor college kid can do.

Actually no I didn't do anything but resize the pictures. My little sony 3.2 megapixel can take some really good pictures when it wants. On the settings the only thing I ever do is switch the automatic light adjustment to the outdoor setting which gets the colors on the screen closest to the colors I am seeing in the tank.
As for the lighting it is a single 150 watt DE Phoenix bulb running in an Aquamedic Aquaspace light.
My top down shots are always much better than my through the glass shots. I chalk that up to the higher iron content in my 3/8" thick glass on the cube. I eventually will have a tank with a starphire front.
Oh on a side note this is the best my tank has ever looked. I am so happy with everything right now that I am wanting it to stay the same and grow in before I do any moving around. It is the first time I have ever been satisfied with it and I like that considering I still have a few other things I plan on doing before this tank is complete. I have started back dripping Kalkwasser to my tank and things have really started to pop again. Also funny enough I have been using Instant Ocean Salt again and it really seems to make the corals happy.

Well let me tell you my tank is a testament to others generosity. I have been fortunate enough to recieve many things from friends, as well as help and insight as to how a tank should look and work. Rollin, Real Reef's, Huff, Wecoupl (sp?), and many others have made this tank possible.
I am in the process of getting a growout tank together and when it arrives sometime in the next month or so I already have frags that I am moving over to it so that I can begin growing frags for people to trade or borrow
for a long period of time.
I will go and snap a quick frontal shot for everyone so you can see how much things have grown and or changed. I also want you to see some of beautiful fish that never really get seen to often in the pictures.
Here we are.

Hey wpecoul, I knew I would butcher your name. Hey I actually did want to get back in touch with you sometime soon. We are needing some plate corals like the one that you gave me for our lab and I am sure we would be willing to pay for them.
By the way I love that little plate...it is so cool in the the front of my tank.
I plan on setting up another frag swap sometime this summer after I get my prop unit up and going. I want to actually have some frags to share with everyone this time.

I can't say much. I sold the cobra to put as a downpayment on a house right after my son was born.
Thanks so much, I really do appreciate the comments guys. I posted thes pictures over at Nano-Reef.com and I will maybe get one possibly two responses back about the tank. Mean while there are about 40 new threads a day with pictures of new Nano Cubes with the obligatory Clownfish in a brand new uncycled tank. I have given up on Nano-reef, there are way to many novices over there. Atleast I know that if my tank gets over looked over here it is because there are a whole lot more people and bunch better looking tanks then mine.
Thanks again everyone.
