Nice pics!!
Hey Sparky, I have a tip for you. When you take pictures using a flashlight, aim the light from the top down. It gives a really cool effect in your picture. Also, try using L.E.D. flash lights to bring out different colors. They are pretty bright too, so you can take a picture in complete darkness. My favorite pictures have been done at night. It's not as common to see corals that way..

 

Thanks, chuckdee. I've tried flashlights from every angle imaginable. The two here that did have a flashlight, the flashlight was shone at the wall, not the tank. It was just enough light to allow the camera to focus. All the visible light is from the moonlights. My flashlight is an LED flashlight, incidentally, but I'm guessing you were referring to a colored LED, perhaps? One of those, I don't have.

Finally, yes, about night-time pics being cool. I love the reef tank at night. I just might spend more time admiring it at night than I do during the day. Everything is different. I especially love the phosphoresence of the corals that respond to the blue of the actinics, or moonlight only.
