Tank Pics (56K warning)

[mr_alberta]

Before the pics, some background:

Tank Specs
-37G Oceanic (24"x18"x21" or something like that)
-CSL Velocity T3 return split to 2x 3/4" SS
-2x 1" drain drilled at the back
-2x ~20G sumps/refugiums
-CPR Bak Pac
-~100lbs Fiji liverock, ~40lbs base rock split amongst all 3 tanks/tubs.

Lighting:
-1x 175W MH (10000K SA bulb) + 1x 65W PC actinic
(soon to be upgraded to 1x 250W MH (15000K CoralVue bulb)
-24" PFO parallel reflector

Fish/Other critters:
-2x False Percs (tank raised)
-1x Blue/Green Chromis (thanks to Beth)
-1x Yellow Watchman Goby
-1x Tiger Pistol Shrimp
-1x Blue Tuxedo Urchin

All pictures taken under the 175W MH only (no actinic). I appologize for the blueness of the pictures, but I can't seem to get them less blue even when I fiddle with my white balance...anyone have tips? I'm using a Fuji 3800 digi cam.

I like the look of your tank man!

Pics are a bit blue, hard to tell colour very well tho.

[mr_alberta]

Hey thanks!

Yeah, I know the pics are too blue. Maybe I should just put a couple of 10000K PC on there just to take some pics...

Thanks for your comments though!

[Gujustud]

Looks awesome! Its funny looking at all the first few pictures, than the last one, it doesn't seem that small!

[Nemain]

I've had the pleasure of seeing this tank in person :cool: The pictures don't do the tank justice.

[mr_alberta]

Heya!

Thanks Jim. I've fiddled with the color balance in Photoshop. It should be a lot less blue and much more accurate as to what I actually see when I look into the tank.

Oh yeah, I'll have a stock of Xenia for you at the next meeting Jim :mrgreen:

:lol: :biggrin: :lol:

Great shots - that's a nice tank, you've obviously put a lot of work into it.

I must say, that is a nice cube. Bravo. I agree, the pictures are very misleading. The tank looks huge, and then you see that last pic, and BOOM! only 37 gallons...
