Now he stays hidden about 90% of the time but at least I usually see him a few times a week for a few minutes each time.

In my experience they have been and I hear that all the time but it would depend on the species I guess?

I don't know too much about hawks. Only had 2 and both actually jumped

Some nighttime pictures with the lights out (with flash).

Tailspot Blenny...he should be sleeping!

Pom Pom Crab...Never see him much in the day other than feeding time but every night he explores the tank.

How do you focus if the room and tank are not lit? Does your camera have the little light that assists with focusing?

Yes it does. Takes a long time to get focused when its dark. I just take a lot of pictures and then a few usually turn out nice. I have a few more that look pretty good that I will post later.

Wow, those pictures worked out not too bad considering it's with flash (when I try with flash, the colours are hugely washed out).

One thing you might want to consider as a nifty little DIY project one day, is a lens ring flash (eliminates the shadow since the light source is also the viewpoint).

Cool I will look into that. I do like to take pics with the lights out so that would come in handy.

This is as close to a full tank shot as I am going to take right now (until the tank starts to grow in)! I wanted to post a shot of where the tank is and how it works with the room. The stand is coming up a little bit orange I think but its a nice bright red. There are going to be some professional pictures taken of our place in the new year, so I will post those
