New camera, new pictures (56kWARNING)

I really want to wait until the glosso grows in completely before I enter that tank. You all might be surprised to know that the discus tank is a mostly low tech tank. I almost never add co2 and very rarely add excel. I only add trace elements after water changes and I usually use only 96w of light even though there is 442 watts available in the fixture.
I tried to keep this tank high tech but the discus don't like the co2 or nitrates so I cut the light and went low tech. Its been a bout 2 months and so far no algae and decent plant growth.

Beautiful pictures!! What kind of camera are you using? I have never seen such clear and crisp pictures, especially when I take pictures.....
Congrats on the beautiful fish as well. :headbang2:

Yeah....I'm sitting here just droolin' over these pictures....Canon what? I have to know make, model....etc! Of course...you're probably a professional photographer and if I buy the same camera, I'll probably get crappy shots! Anyways, I LOVE the discus tank....that is exactly what I hope and dream to do some day....if you have time to explain exactly what you do to keep it so nice and the plants so gorgeous...I'm all ears!

The camera.
I am a professional photographer but.
This camera is a canon point and shoot. I have yet to switch to digital in the pro equipment but I plan on ordering a canon SLR camera very soon but those are $1000 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/397314-REG/Canon_0296B002_EOS_5D_Digital_Camera.htmland up this one was only $300 "canon power shot SD750"http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/484779-REG/Canon_2239B001_PowerShot_SD750_Digital_Elph.html
The thing is you need a macro setting.
As far as the discus tank I've said before that is actually a low tech tank. I started off pumping co2 into that tank with fertilizers and lots of light. Now I run minimal light and the plants stay healthy. I add trace elements after every water change, which is a lot since I do 80% WC every other day to every third day but thats it. I have two tanks that do get co2 and grow fast and lush but fast is the problem.
This is my 38g apisto/angel tank just after a trim.
I will post a more recent picture to show you the speed of the growth.
This picture was taken on 9/02
Let me know if you have any specific questions.
This is two weeks of growth. I wish I knew what the settings were on the camera so I could match the pictures exactly but I did my best.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
