I'm wondering if camera quality and photo skills may play a big part in this game

Here's a shot from today of my tank at 3 months, taken with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX5

Adjust your exposure time. Also make sure you aren't at a bad angle (no lights shining directly at your camera.

I could come down and help you out if you have problems. Just let me know. :biggrin:

Thanks :) I may take you up on that sometime, I got a ok shot above, so what ever I did I just have to tweak it slightly to get it that much better.

This was the reef tank that jump-started my journey ten years ago now. She was the first I had ever seen in person and she was a beaut!!! When I look back at all the money I spent over the years, I wonder now, was it worth it? OH HELL YA! Thanks for the motivation Brad.
