Let me know what you think!

nice pics. I can never get mine to turn out clear. What size is your tank?

 

[steelhealr]

Nicely done.....SH

Thanks!

The tank's 72 Gallon. I was going to get the 46, but the 72 just looked right.

I took close to 40 pictures to get 5 good ones, so I by no means a master, but I'm learning. My camera's zoom makes it really tough to get still pictures, so I just went with the manual zoom and moved closer to the tank.

I really like that piece of driftwood...

My problem with taking pics is that the camera's batteries die way too soon. I can easily go through a 12 batteries in a half hour, and they're expensive.

I like the aquascaping, nice pics.

pseud - Get the Energizer rechargables. It charges 4 batteries in about 15 minutes and they last longer than regular batteries. I've been using them for over a year now for the digital camera and I can't imagine how many batteries I would've gone through...

The driftwood we bought online. As with the plants, I was trying to keep everything (but the fish) artificial to try and keep the variables down since this is the first tank that I've had in a long time. It looks real enough for me (and the pleco who hides out inside it).

Thanks all!

The angels are gorgrous

Welcome to the forum BTW

 

[nj96]

Thanks again, everyone! This kind of tank has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid with a 10 gallon tank. I'm so glad that I finally got it going...

Thanks to all you guys (and gals) for this forum! I've been reading up since I found this site and there's tons of great info here.

Great looking tank! I love the colours on the secound angel fish. Almost looks like a black widow.

 

[Matchu]

Looks really nice, seems like you've chosen your fish well, liking the annoyed oyster!

Here's some more pics I got off my camera. Just another pic of the angel and finally one of the illusive pleco.

Sorry about the bad pleco pic... His favorite hiding place is inside the faux wood...

Like I said... This is actually more than I see of him normally!

And for Machu
