[PCIALF]

I posted this in the photography forum but also wanted local thoughts
There is no other touching of these photos other than white balance

2 looks the best

After seeing it in person... pic #2 looks most like your aquarium.

I'm the minority opinion here but I go with three. One is too yellow, two is too blue and minimal contrast with poor shadow detail (ability to discern details in lower light areas of the image). Number three has warm color and contrast. However, Gary has seen your tank and 2 might better represent your actual tank. In any event they all look great. What kind of WB setting is #3?

Cully, do you know the rotten tomato guy? I was a Houghton with him a year or so ago.

I like # 3.
It shows the color of the tank without the red tint of the first pic.

IMO #3 is a little better than #2. It looks like #2 has washed out a little too much of the color, when compared to #3.

Keep in mind that computer display settings can affect how these look. This happened to me before with some of Gary M's pictures. They looked bad to me until I realized that my kids had adjusted (messed up) the monitor for one of their games.

I noticed the tricolor Acro frag is growing nicely.

I like #3 too. You can see the outlines of the fish better. It just looks a little more crisp than #2.

I like #2 best, Is that a Clown peeking out of the candy?

Do you find your zoas slow their growth when they reach sand?

White area's are blown out in #2. Either the photo is overadjusted, or the camera can't capture the data (likely the latter).
