Thanks guys!

This was taken on my 30G and she was the only fish in the tank.

I took the picture with my Nikon D40 and it is under 150W of 20K halide and 2x 25w 10K's even at that i could not get the shutter speed as quick as i wanted it just shows how poor a substitute man made lights are in comparison to natural sunlight!.

A bit of news and why its been quiet from me i've moved pricess fifi to a new 100g corner tank to give her and her anemone a bit more leg room.

Thanks again all for your votes
