Nice Setosa shot! Definitely an improvement :-).

By the way, I shoot tank photos for frags. Just thought I'd put that out there.

I think I will have to try my other lens to see if I can get closer. When I frag that setosa I will keep you in mind. I want it a bit bigger first.

Pics looks great man! Are you taking longer exposures? I find I have to take really long exposures to get good closeups (1-2 seconds ballpark, definitely needing a tripod and current stopped in the tank)..

Yeah I think I read someone's post where they were using 1.6 seconds which is what I have been playing with. I got my cheapo tripod from bestbuy for 18 bucks yesterday. It was 50% off.

And don't forget to turn your powerheads and possibly pumps off. At a very slow shutter speed the sway of polyps will be blurry :-)

It is quite a sight to see when you turn off all motion in your tank. My torch coral that is usually moving all over the place looks like it is frozen in time. It's really amazing.

And another that looks a little more orange in this pic then in person. All I adjust for is white balance.
