I have been here on AquariaCentral for a little while, now and I thought I might start a tank log/introduction thread of sorts. Never really started one before. Just to clear it up (since I can't program a camera), that date should be 7/02/07. Anyway, first a few random pics of my 75:

Full tank shot:

awesomee!! you have QUIRE the show pieces there!!
i love the potter's angel :)
 
Gorgeous Bubble Coral. The shot of the clowns is pic of the month worthy, especially if you crop it. Looks like you have had great success with your tank.

Really? It was actually a lucky pic, seeing as how I am not all that great at photography. Thanks for the compliments, Grins and fishieness. How is this, btw:

Great looking tank, looks very healthy, how long has it been set up? I like the bubble coral, i just got one that is a smaller version of that one.​

Thanks. It has been set up for a little over 12 years and the bubble has been in there for 11. It actually expands to nearly 2x that size if I shut down the flow some. Might have to get some pics of that eventually.

Grins, should I also use scale dimensions to make it somewhat close to the original?
 
That's an absolutely stunning tank!! You obviously have taken wonderful care of it over so many years!!

BTW ... what kind of a camera/lens did you take those pictures with? Very sharp!

Cheers!

Thank you, Yash. The camera was nothing special at all. It is one of those Kodak EasyShare cameras--specifically the C743 7.1 megapixel. The best part is where you can dock it and make 3x5 prints (they come out incrediblly well). Like I said earlier, I am terrible at photography, but with this camera, it makes it a lot easier. I was actually surprised at how sharply they managed to turn out.
