    Awesome looking tank feixjai! By the way maybe you can improve your pictures if you adjust your white balance (setting on your camera). What camera you using?

    Thanks guys!

    IBMGeek: I use a Panasonic DMC-TZ1. I tried setting the white balance, but I'm not sure which one I'm suppose to use. Theres an auto, picture of a sun, picture of what looks like a cloud, a light bulb, and a square with two triangles under it.

    SmittyCoCo: I usually go to Tropical Reef Aquariums between 27th and 28th and Taraval. If your on Sunset blvd going towards Golden Gate Park turn right on Taraval and go all the way up to the 76 gas station. Their livestock is amazingly healthy and their prices are a little cheaper than Dr. F&S.

    Another great spot would be Fish Fish and More Fish down by Lombard street. Their livestock is also really healthy and you can sometimes bargain with the guy. Great 14.99 frag tank. Prices are a little on the steep side though.

    Another spot would be Lucky Ocean Aquarium by the end of Balboa. Their price is great but their livestock would be so so.
    Not far from them is the horrid 6th ave Aquarium. Its on 6th and Clement. Their livestock is poor but their price is unbeatable. If may find fish and corals that seem really healthy but will later go without any signs. They use copper in their saltwater fish tanks and most of their fish are diseased. If you do find something that looks really healthy, just make sure you acclimate it for a little longer and don't use their water.

    Thanks Godbert!

    LOL aquaboy thats creative but what is the meaning of it? ROFL nemo! Maybe instead of a website, there could be a section on 3reef dedicated to young saltwater fiends.

    I looked up the camera and it has a manual option. It should be the feature with the triangles. What you do is select that whitebalance feature and point the camera at something white in your tank (usually sand) then you press or select and it should adjust itself.

    This is what I found in the manual
