Hey Skilos1 - Funny sig!

Looks like you you have a nice tank. The pictures could use some work though.

like what? i have a kodak DX4900 i use a tripod for taking the pictures. Any suggestions on shutter speed or any other option???

 

[Mad Tart]

Im thinking more along the lines of focus or zooming in more on the subjects that you titled them after.. and profiles of fish instead of frontal photos .. Definately not an expert photographer here so I don't know much about shutter speeds etc. There were just a few that had titles and not knowing most corals by name I was having trouble discerning which one I was supposed to be looking at. :?

Nice job scilos. I like the amount of space you have in your 180. Plent of room for coral growth.

How old is each of your tanks? They all look fairly young. :wink:

the 75 was upgraded from a 40 that had been running for about a year and the 180 was upgraded from a 110 that had been running for a year also so they are fairly old just moved to a new tank. thanks for the compliment.

about the camera. i'll have to take some more pictures of each coral. i was just trying to get them all in so it wouldn't take up so much space on my website because i only have 12 megs with AOL i'll have to find another hosting site.

Well that is totally understood Never much liked AOL myself ya might look into angelfire.lycos.com they have somewhere like 40 megs of space.. Nice tank despite the fact I'm blind

i appreciate it maybe one of these days i'll figure out my camera. i paid enough for it to create better pictures. i guess the equipment is always as good as the person using it.

Pictures look ok to me. Seen people post much worse. You sure are in for trouble down the road when them leathers & softies start getting big (and they get big) being so close to the SPS frags which will get pretty big as well.

I had a colt coral go from being a small cutting on the substrate to reaching the water surface in a little over a year (2 foot tall). I was amazed how fast they can grow. Yanked it and never had a softie after that.

yeah i know about the soft corals they are very easily movable and i have a while before i have to start doing that. i made it so everything would be able to be moved if i had problems. and there's always just cutting off the soft corals to move them to another tank. thanks for the input.
