My camera does the same thing to my tank. I know it is a good camera, I just suck using it. LOL
Your set up is very nice for 6 mos. old

Looks great Rothany!

Just want to point out that the tangs will not make it in that small of a system for very long. I am not "tang Police" just concerned about your long term water parameters and ability to keep that system clean enough for a carpet anemone. They are very sensitive to nitrates and phosphates, somthing your going to have problems with in the near future because of the waste tangs make. That and the fact that they will out grow that system fairly fast. You should consider replacing them with smaller fish.

The corals look great and the system seems setup very nicely. Keep up the good work and welcome to RF
