Great pics, Andy. You definitely have better skill than I do. I have a Nikon D90 and I still can't take a picture worth a crap (pardon the french). Also, the tank has recovered and then some. Wow!

Thanks Andrew, I still have a lot to learn about taking pictures. I wish I could take a class or something to learn more about using this camera. Maybe I will one of these days. I took a few pictures of family the other day and it some how deleted them. I have no Idea why or how. One thing that I think that has help with these pictures is I got a Micro lens on ebay for like $30 and it seams to help a little.

I finally got the bugs worked out with this setup and the corals are growing like crazy some of these are small colonies now and I remember when they were like a 1/2 inch frag. I love to look back at old pictures and see the difference in growth. How is your tank doing these days?

Awful, lol. I've had so many things go wrong--little and big--that it has made it a pain. I'm honestly not sure how much longer I'm going to keep it.

Your getting pretty good with that new camera. In the first pic, how did you post the names of the corals next to the corals? How about taking a full tank shot for us. Corals and pics are looking good.

Yeah the full tank shots I have not tried yet. Tonight I will take some pictures of the full tank and some of the equipment that I am running. I also have started an inventory list of everything in the tank. What can I say, I got board.

You can add text to the pictures once they are on photobucket. I have never used that web site before, and it is cool on how you can edit the pictures online. I would like to get a copy of photo shop one of these days. Anyways under the editing are of photobucket you click on Decorate and there is a text button where you can add a text box to the pictures.
