Pics of the new setup

Post by andy4499 »

Here are a few pics of the 125 gal setup. The pictures did not turn out the way I would have liked them too.

Looks good. That Ricordia rock really makes a good center piece. Is that an ASM skimmer?
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

Set your white level, you will get better results.

Thanks, and yes it is a ASM G3 skimmer. I bought it a couple of months ago. It is awesome, I would not trade it for anything.

I was trying everything turning the lights on the tank on and off and changing the setting on the camera. I will try and get some better pics later.

I've tried every white balance setting and tried the coffee filter trick. I can't get good representation of color no matter what I do. The last pics I took were the closest I have ever gotten and I took them using 3 actinic and one daylight VHO without any halides on.

I think that we may try and host a meeting this summer. With school going on right now, It would be very hard for us. I am thinking may be June or July. When it comes closer to those months I will let everyone know.

Wow, looking good Andy!

P.S. the green brittle star is living happily in my work 10G... got some interesting comments from co-workers, who had never seen a starfish like it :) he blends in VERY well with all the green macro that's in it too.
