    I still haven't figured out how some of you guys are getting these stunning pictures of your tanks, but I am working on it! I took 100+ pics today, these are the ones that turned out "decent".

    I played with the light settings on my camera alot, thats why some are darker then others. All of my tank lighting was on on all of the pics (1-250w MH, 4-75w 24" actinic VHO's).

    Let me know what you think!

    Here we go...

    practice, practice, practice....my photobucket account has like 3k pics in it just of stuff in my tank and most of them aren't real good. I take pics for weddings and to sell and I've always heard that the average photographer will take 700 pics before getting one money shot. I don't photoshop anything.......

    Yes, my fish get a very nice view of down town Portland!

    I just got back from my LFS! As always, I couldn't resist coming home with something, I bought 4 very nice frags!

    -A fuzzy looking dark red mushroom with 2 very good sized heads
    -A Stripped red/green mushroom with 2 very good sized heads
    -A Candy Cane with 8 heads
    -A green fuzzy looking SPS (Hydrophora according to my LFS)

    I'll post pics as soon as they adjust to their new home!

    Thanks for all of the comments!
