    Need to figure out a off camera lighting setup. Even with full lights on I'm barely getting usable exposures.

    Picked this guy from another great MRer, we met up at Fauna. Dream of a fish.

    Hope you enjoy.

    Excellent shots.

    Look into speedlights with a remote trigger setup for additional lighting if your camera supports it. Otherwise just rig up additional lighting over the tank.

    Yeah, I will have to look into a polarized flash cover for my off camera monolights.

    Your pictures look awesome! How big is your pt. he looks real good.
    I've had mine a year and he hasn't grown as fast as my blue tang. Just wondering how big he is.
