The beginning of a new year marks the need for a new full tank photo thread! Post a photo of your tank please. :mrgreen:

Is it that time again? Wow, that went quick. I'll have to take a new shot tomorrow.
Mindy, the tank is looking great!!

[Aquattro]

As is tradition, I've marked this as a sticky thread...

[The Grizz]

Tank looks great Mindy!!

Brett, pics don't do your tank justice, it's still shiny new but I really loved the look of it when I was there.

[Myka]

Thanks guys! I can't take a very good FTS for the life of me, but that will do I guess.

MrFish55, it's not a thread just for the nicest tanks, it's mostly just to document where we are each at. It's kinda cool to look back at the progress.

[toxic111]

I'll have to get the tripod out tomorrow as well... might be the last FTS of my 30.... hope to have a 120 going before the end of the year... sooner I hope

[Madreefer]

Here's mine. Hard to get a good pic 'cause it's round and most shots look like a cartooon with LEDs. This is the best I could get. This is at dusk.

Yes but I seem to be going backwards, the tanks looked much better 2 years ago.

[Myka]

My tank looked better in the 2010 thread. Tank has grown a lot, but colors were better. I've been struggling with the tank for the last year.

Nice photoQuote btw Greg lol.

OMG...another photographer in the crowd? :razz:

OMG...another photographer in the crowd? :razz:

ok photographer I guess, LOL. The tripod just lets me get the shutter slow enough to get a good shot...

[Snappy]

Nice photoQuote btw Greg lol.
Some pictures are worth seeing more than once & using some extra bandwidth doesn't bother me since I seldom use my phone to surf Canreef.:razz:

[toxic111]

Finally got an ok shot of mine this morning. Finally figured out the white balance, so the colour looks right too

[lee9]

It's a bit full. I'm hoping to have the "new to me" RSM 250 up soon to transfer everything into.

Nice tanks! Be nice if everyone would post here this year. There are a lot of users here without build threads who rarely share pics. Some even have a bazillion posts.

Maybe you just need a tank tour. Water's not that clear - lot's of bubbles and sand fines.

[untamed]

OK..without taking much care to make the tank look pretty... Here is what it looks like today.

Hey Brad, back right hand corner. Is that a A. Lovelli or an A. Loisettae. The color really stands out.

Rob, I don't think either. I haven't ID'ed it, but it grows like a weed. I frag it all the time and it's still my largest colony!

Loving your tank. :biggrin:

Yeah I'm loving that one too.

I'm caving back into the black background scene... this thread is too much for me :sad:

[badAZZlars]

Thanks guys

[wayner]

Ya, really nice, I have to come by one day.

[reefermadness]

Hey Badazzlars...did you go from tunze to vortech or the other way around and why?

Looks great by the way...in another year or two it will be kick'n.

[reefermadness]

Ya, really nice, I have to come by one day.Hey Wayne. Post one up of your tank. I don't believe I've seen it......Im sure its great, even if its a work in progress (which they all are).

Here is mine from last month.....

[badAZZlars]

Hey Badazzlars...did you go from tunze to vortech or the other way around and why?

Looks great by the way...in another year or two it will be kick'n.

I started the tank off with vortech's. 2 mp40wes. Those worked great for awhile but as things are growing I wasn't getting good flow to the back corners due to the large center overflow so I have just recently added two tunze 6025's modified to either side of the overflow box and this takes care of the low flow areas that I was experiencing.

I love the vortechs and don't have much experience with the higher end Tunze models. I think for a tank my size the vortechs are the best bet as they take up minimal real estate. If I did a larger tank 400+ gallons I think that I would have a combination of both. Vortechs on the side walls and then some Tunzes on the back on a rotating device.

After having this tank setup for awhile I really wish I had gone for an external overflow. I would never do a tank with an internal overflow again especially a center overflow. They just create water flow problems and require you to have too many powerheads. Lesson learned. But hey, it gives me a reason to upgrade some time :biggrin:.

[badAZZlars]

Ya, really nice, I have to come by one day.

Wayne, you can come by and check it out any time. Maybe wait till you have another frag of red planet available and we can do some trading :biggrin:.

yeah ive never been 100 percent happy with my 90 but that will change with the 180 .. it was my first tank and i've learned alot since. its getting depleted coral wise going to move some corals to the 50 and sell off other corals and have it close to a fowlr this weekend untill the change over and start the 180 from scratch with better placements.

but thank you i appreciate the compliment

Her is mine today, still hanging in there. We've been away for almost three weeks all in with the holidays & a 4 day stint in Vegas. I've lost a colony of green milli, which wasn't really visible from the front anymore, & have also lost about a 3rd of the purple bushy acro kinda visable in the near top centre of the tank. These losses are due to bad alk swings.

wow that scoly is huge!!!! nice shot:)

[Borderjumper]

Thanks, we've had that one for 4 years.. It was the first one.. We got it from that SalmonKing guy that used to hang here when he closed down his tank.

[lastlight]

That second tank is so unique and cool. We need a new thread with closeups of all that rainbow sweetness!

Thanks. Yeah, I agree. I've had a hard time finding dry rock pieces I like. Most are large round balls. I've got a large round ball I'm going to try dremelling into the shape I'm looking for.

hahaha nice try but thats an old tank lol i may go buy a crappy old point and shoot camera today and take some pics, i have a fuji film but its old and discontinued and i am fighting to get good pics with it i do use a tri pod with it but all my pics come out dark/blue or spotty....my camera does let me adjust the white balance but the rest of the settings are pretty basic and taking fts shots always come out dull, it seems like if i zoom in its fuzzy and you cant make out whats in the tank and thats from only 4ft away....my close ups dont com out bad but they have to be really close and on the tri pod lol heres a example and i guess a fts too lol


http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad85/reefwars/90gallon%20reef/fts.jpg?t=1327164093


as you can see everything looks so far away you cant make out any of my coral, for example the carpet is around 20" in diameter, the frog on the left is the size of a large grapefruit, the elegance on the far left is around 12-14" in length and swells pretty big......but yet they seem so tiny and so blurry lol

we will see if i can get any better shots with a cheap newer camera:p

[sphelps]

Pic looks good to me! I like the new tank better.

im my own worst critic im sure lol it just bugs me because the tank looks great in person no algae all my corals are growing and colors are great, my fuge is doing incredible.....and i have no proof to show off and the pics just dont do it justice at all lol i guess i could photoshop and see if it helps but then its not quite natural feels like cheating lol

thanks buddy:)

Meh, I don't think anyone is ever really happy with there FTSs, you can never capture everything and the overall effect is never the same. Some people would probably post nude photos of themselves over a FTS :lol:

not a big fish fan to be honest lol i already think i have to many i think im gonna get rid of a few, more so the aggesive ones . i am looking for some coral in particular mailny a large duncan, and some nice colourful plates and scolys plus another large nem :P

[Nano]

The "16.5" soon to be retired. as you can see this is why I havent shared any photos! I figured since its getting transferred into the 35 soon, might as well post a so long FTS of it. Hopefully in the new tank I'll be able to get the hang of this "making things look nice" thing lol.

My FOWLR + some softies started in about 2004. I have been tempted in the past to upgrade the lights and equipment so I can keep more but in the end what I have has worked so far and the maintenance is fairly easy so I keep my fingers crossed and enjoy what I have.

Love the tank but I think the idea is to post a FTS and not a dozen close ups. There are other places you could post such things.

actually, his tank looks pretty full, and he posted lots of photos, so I'd say those are definitely Full Tank photos.

Excuse the microbubbles, having an issue with my Tunze 9002 Skimmer.

Pics were taken January 16th, the Tank is about 1 year old. I have since then picked up a wack of SPS frags and have moved all the Zoa's into my daughter's little Skimz IBOX Pico tank.

I'll post those ones up after the frags get settled in.

If you really loved tangs you'd never keep one never mind three in an over stocked 29g biocube :evil: Doesn't matter that they are small that is just not right, they need way room to swim :sad:

Your LFS should know better and not make such deals

Wow, do i count 17 fish? Talk about cause your own S***T. Hear i thought i had alot of fish, 13 fish in a 210g. 3 of which are tangs. Good luck.

[Nano]

Tangs are avid swimmers. Even as juvies your nit offering them ample swimming room. That is highky frowned upon even by non tang police. You have to respect the animals in this hobby as well.

[reefwars]

i think and no offense to anyone, that in the fts shot thread if anyone doesnt like the fish in someones tank they should pm that person and not post it here, no ones gonna post their tank shots if they feel they will be critisized, again no offesnse to anyone just this thread shouldnt be a disscusion of morals:p

I got into this "HOBBY" not to please strangers nor approval from people hiding behind computer screens. I don't spend my life living around the FISH TANK, as I like a lot of the members on here HAVE LIVES. I have spent THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of dollars to please MYSELF and for my own ENJOYMENT.

IF I was seeking approval from anyone I wouldn't gave gotten into aquaria and would've been a politician. And from what I recall, this thread was a thread to post yearly pics to see what growth and differences were.

Honestly, I could give a rat's ass what some of you think. And IF I was looking for it I would've asked.

I enjoy looking at some of the guru's tanks on here and learn from them. Good people like Grizz, Dez, Bblinks, Myka, christyf5 share their knowledge and advice. Judging and Criticizing others on here only discourages people to post pics or wanting to learn more about this hobby. If it wasn't for some of those people, I wouldn't have been interested in aquaria.

I would like to thank those that have inspired us all.

Now, please post pics and pics only. PM your comments or opinions.

Common man, you gotta remove all your pics cause I brought up the fact the tread topic is FTS requests not close ups? Your tank was nice you should post your FTS up again. Things need structure is all, it's not much to ask is it?

My 116 FOWLR, I am having issues with micro bubbles from my SWC skimmer, I think. Also going to build a LED light for this tank as well.

I too agree too, only because if someone said something about my current stock I would have to go all SAMCRO on there arse :2gunfire:

With that said.....

Well, Grizz, ya know, with doors that size ...
It's only fair to let them live in a larger environment which they are used to ... but I'm only sayin'

BTW you daughter told me where your popcorn stash is :razz:

Did she call you again??? Need to have another word with that girl!

Don't like my LITTLE doors :lol: Wait until you see the 300, it will have 8 doors :surprise:

Nope, she told me the last time she called :lol:

[gregzz4]

Don't like my LITTLE doors :lol: Wait until you see the 300, it will have 8 doors :surprise:
Can't wait to see it !!
Hopefully the doors will be allowed to live free instead of being stuck in such a small environment :wink:

i think and no offense to anyone, that in the fts shot thread if anyone doesnt like the fish in someones tank they should pm that person and not post it here, no ones gonna post their tank shots if they feel they will be critisized, again no offesnse to anyone just this thread shouldnt be a disscusion of morals:p
Sorry, reef, if you take this wrong, or missed this banter
The whole idea here is to back up your post :mrgreen:
:pound: but my livingroom is 20' x 40', I thought I was giving them a big enough inviroment........ I feel so ASHAMED :redface:
Well ... OK ... as long as you don't tell us you're going to trade them in when they get bigger
That's outside the boundaries of the 'Conscientious Aquarist' and I don't know if we could abide by that :fish:

[gregzz4]

imisky, nice shot
I'm sure all would agree that we'd love to see a more FTS of yours
What I mean is, it looks great from above-ish, but could you get another shot from lower?

[gregzz4]

Didn't mean to come across as critical ...
It looks awesome

Aren't you just a picky SOB :razz: it's still a great shot. I hope to see some SPS in my 300 if I can get things just right.

Thanks guys!

the yellow coral is a green slimer in ULN conditions without any iron suppliments added so it tends to be a little bit more yellow instead of green.

haha thanks, but I guess you havent seen some of my earlier works :lol: The lights are great I love them especially how they function. If I get sick of the T5s I can simply remove it and the system stays pretty much the same, so its very modular.

[Myka]

Oops, that was a PM.

[PMC]

Look do not feel bad. I came home the other day, with ½ my tank dismantled because my son and friend were trying to catch a fish I have been trying to trap for a while. They were hoping that they would be done by the time I got home. But there was a stoppage because one of them got stabbed by my urchin.

I don`t know about you, but I have never been able to dismantle a rock pile and have it go back the same way it was before. Nothing seems to fit like it used to.

End result, fish captured, after 6 accidental coral frags, displaced and relocated coral, and a bunch of unhappy tank residents. They are just starting to feel comfortable again, 3 days later.

Getting back to my point, do not feel bad about your attempt, rock never seems to fit the way it used to.

Great looking tanks. The black sand bed looks amazing.

[sumpfinfishe]

Is the black sand safe tho, I added some to my old reef tank years back and one day my cleaning magnet fell into the sand and when I picked it up there was a bunch of iron flake stuck to it. I researched the volcanic sand and it was very high in lead and iron content-not so good for a closed system.

Hopefully yours is reef safe because it looks fantastic!

What color combo is your stunner strip? Looks amazing, thinking of getting a couple for my tank.

looks like the blue/magenta combo strip to me :)

[lee9]

Thanks. I really like the look of it. It is just the straight blue strip (24"). I actually tried the blue/magenta but the magenta LED over-powered the blues and it looked completely magenta. I didn't like the look. I have a picture of it if you want to see it with the blue/magenta for comparison.

I know pics rarely do justice to the real thing but I'd like to see it anyway. If you don't wanna post in here send me a pic.
