    A few more and I still apologize for the pic quality,I have a decent camera,I am just not qualified to use it :cheesy:,can't get the white balance right to show more true coloration.

    Looking great buddy! Im a big fan of the SPS frags! I really like your scape as well. That will look great when its filled with corals.

    Tank looks great. Try shooting in RAW format and then using Adobe Lightroom 4 to process the image. Also use the Adobe color space to get the best color rendition.

    Hey bud!And thanks!but with my first go at sps,i wanna give it a bit to make sure i have a handle on things before i go loading it up,and yea,i think i'm even happy with the scape myself,i think it will look good too when filled in and colored up.

    Thanks bro and yes,i'm reminded everyday just how much cash i've been dropping,lol,sigh.

    Thanks John. Photography has never been a strong point for me,lol,i'm not much of a "gadget guy" so all these settings are really messin with me.Maybe someday i'll get it figured out but it is a little disappointing when coloration is so far off that even my water looks "hazey/fuzzy" in the pics when in fact,it's crystal clear.lol,it's a Fugi 12.2mp handheld digital.Has macro setting,but can't find a raw setting?

    photo update

    Just a photo update,most sps are doing good,some are not.Blaming it on new tank syndrome and my adding them too soon or me bleaching them under the new lighting,all part of the learning curve I guess.Tank is going through it's maturing phases and I just ordered some major cuc reinforcements.Otherwise everything has been doing great.Hope you enjoy!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks fantastic Don, you did a great job with the scape.

    Nice pieces of zoanthid rock you have there.

    Are those Blastos in one image? Do you have a purple Stylo?

    Excellent mix of fish.
