    Wow....I must say thanks everyone for the complements.
    I use a Fugi Finepix s7000. I did not use any special lens. I bought this camera as a kit 2.5 years back for 600 bucks. It came with a kit including a 512 memory stick, camera bag, Rechargeable batteries with a charger and a cleaning kit. I bought a power supply so I dont to have to worry about useing batteries up taking tank shots. Nice camera to use if you are not a camera buff but if you are a advanced user it will keep you happy with all the manual settings. Took me a while to figure out the white balance and other settings but now I take pretty nice pictures usually. Remember, I took a bunch of pictures to get the one just right. Here is next months contest entries.

    Thanks for everyones kind words :bigcry:

    Inwall......yep. That Sebae is really big. The clown just loves it and feeds it every spare morsel when I feed the tank the custom seafood blend that I make for my fish and corals. The fish in my tank are also big and healthy. I followed this recipe plus add boyds vitachem to the mixture and added some other things.

    Melevsreef.com - Make your own fish food

    I recomend this to anyone who wants to keep their fish and corals healthy. Heres a tip when making it, go light on the scallops, they are really greasy and clump up the mixture. Also be sure to freeze all the seafood solid b4 you run it through the food processor. You will thank me for that last tip if you ever tried it without freezing....hehehe.
