my new 75 gallon reef

has been up and running for about a month now. I have 2 "naked" clowns, A blue hippo tang possible getting a foxface this weekend. For corals i have greeb bay packers, eagle eyes and i think speckled gorilla nipple zoas, a pinkish hammer, a torch, purple and green ricordia and a rock of blue mushrooms. There is also a dursa clam hanging out in the rock work also. This is a upgrade from my biocube. I have about 60lbs of rock and 80lbs of sand. Here are a few pics of my stuff for you to enjoy. It is a work in progress but it is coming along nicely i think. Any comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking

Nice tank. I really like the aquascape. I see you have a naked clown. I bet that one cost you an arm & a leg. Cool fish though.

 

Nice tank and welcome to the 3reef fam.

 

Nice looking! Good clear pic too.

 

Thanks for all of the nice comments. My camera is a point and shoot sony one. I use the macro setting on it though. Pics come out pretty good. Seano I got the pair for 70 bucks. Not bad for some of the other prices i have seen out there for other clowns.

 

Welcome to 3reef, nice looking tank

 

love the torch pic, love torches in general, nice tank & welcome!

 

you must have a steady hand. lol. I can't get shots that clear with my Nikon p90. I think maybe I need a little more patience.

Wow that was a steal.

 

With my Canon I sometimes can put the lens touching the glass of my aquarium and take a clean shot. Or, if it won't focus correctly when touching the glass, I use a 20 oz plastic cup. I sit the cup (upside down) as close to the tank as possible (either on the dresser or on the lip of the stand), and use it as a tripod. Also, either hold your breath when lightly pressing the button, or breathe out very slowly. Either way helps to steady your hand. And definitely always use the Macro setting, or on my HP, the "close up" setting.

 

i am pleased with the one we have now. I had an olympus that was really nice. Took great pictures. Someone wanted it more than me when my truck was broke into.
