40 Gallon Breeder (photo heavy)

So I finally pulled out the digital camera. It is a cheap Cannon Power shot. The only major down size is I can only go 4x zoom with it. Enjoy.

Nice pics! I also have a Cannon power shot but couldn't get that great pics. What settings do you have it on?

 

[OCDreefer]

The camera is a PowerShot SD850 IS Digital Elph (about $200 2yrs ago) I played with the setting for about forty minutes before I got it right (the auto aquarium setting sucked)

To get the colors right select the manual setting on the wheel
Then hit Func set button Change it to Digital Macro
move down: change Exposer to -1 (I played with this pending on the light)
move down: change White Balance to Custom and then have camera evaluate White Balance when looking at tank
move down: change color to vivid
move down: change camera auto focus to Center Weighted Avg
move down: change to Fine or Super Fine quality
move down: pick you photo size

Hope this helps, only down side I really only can get nice close ups of things near the glass of my aquarium.

Great looking corals! Full tank shot needed

So I started the new year by pulling ALL my rock out and scrubbing it will a steal bristle brush. Good Bye Xenia!!!.... unfortunately I lost my Setosa frag (think he ended up in one of my acans for a while) I'm pretty bummed about losing this coral, it had gone from the tinniest little thing to a good size frag! ON the plus side the new aqua scaping looks good and everything e;se seems fine. FTS to follow.

FTS.... New rock scape and Xeinia Free!

Very cool looking tank. SPS dominate? I think I saw a BTA in there.

 

[OCDreefer]

What's a BTA? Anemone? No anemones, just SPS, couple Acans, Duncan, some zoa's and fish.

 

[tamarindthai]

Yes BTA is Bubble Tip Anemone. The coral in this photo looks like a Green BTA that is why I thought it was. *lol* I'm bad, sorry.

Cheers,
Alex
