Well I went a little picture happy for you Levi, my skills are still inferior to a few people on this site but they are coming around. It takes a while to realize some times you can take 10 pictures before you find one that you like. The fts skills are still pretty terrible tho.

[lastlight]

Your blues look really nice man. Is that second last a. plana?

Your arches don't have that cheesy fake look... I like.

Yeah he is a sweet fish, now only is my Achilles could man up and not hide all the time, I believe its a plana. I cant get the colour in the pics its yellow with deep purple tips. Yeah I really like how the rock work came together gives us a lot of swimming space but it limits me for real estate to glue more corals.

[reefwars]

i miss seeing your tank man one of my favorites to see in person none of the pics do your tank justice wayyyy nicer in person:):)

If your ever in the area again I am sure you remember where i live, feel free to stop over.

[Madreefer]

Tank looks awesome. The pic beside the yellow tang was the one I was telling you about. I like the caves, your fish probably love it.

[fishytime]

I dont know......I dont see anything wrong with your FTSs.....they look pretty FN sweet to me mang....

[fishoholic]

Looks great, I also love the arches and caves in your rock work.

[tim the toolman]

Tank looks great. Love the camera work as well. I am considering a set of 8x80 t5s by ATI as well. If you could would you buy the same lights again? They seem to work awesome

Yeah the only crappy part of the fixture is bulb change time. The par reading from this fixture even with 8 month old tubes is still way better than the led fixtures we have.

I disagree, you have some pretty nice skills there buddy! That's the thing with shooting, you can take 1000's of photos and maybe have 10-15 that are just amazing while the rest don't make the cut. Are you using a tripod? I find that works wonders for the FTS.

Not sure if you edited it yet but a quick run through photo shop never hurts, It's really difficult to make all the colors work especially when your shooting through glass.

I have the tri pod and use it... I don't edit any of my photos I find they look to phoney when there edited.

There's a really fine line and it's incredibly hard to not cross it, finding the balance between washed out and over the top is tricky that's for sure! Regular photos never seem to capture the color of my corals though, a quick run through PS helps but I agree the photos do come out looking a tad bit fake.

Time to pull out the under water camera :razz:!

[lastlight]

While your previous photos were more psychedelic I'm enjoying your newer ones much more. Maybe it's the LEDs or your processing but they seem truer to life yet still very colorful.
