nice pics of your fish, hey have any pics of tank and lighting system used, what size is your tank? dont be offended but that sony cam is blurry, hope to see some pics of your tank soon, john

The fish are a little blurry. I blame them for not standing still! I'm trying to work off a tripod, but I'm having a hard time getting any fish that way, so I hand held it. I'm still new at the macro stuff, so I haven't had much luck with very detailed macro photos...

The tank's a 120 with 50/50 compact lighting. You can't see the lighting system because I built it into the canopy. I use an wet/dry on the back as a sump. And the nice Remora Pro keeping everything clean.

some of the set up shots are now on the page:

I love the dwarf lion. So it doesn't bother other fish? And the tank looks really deep too.

Oh, and the alcohol next to the tank is great too! :)

[eifert]

I should have cropped out the booze. It looks like I sit, drink and watch the fish all day...

Yeah, the tank is deep. I like the depth, so many tanks are flat but I like the fish swimming under rocks and in caves, so I built a lot of them.

The dwarf lions are totally friendly. They get along with everyone in the tank.

Minh you never know when someone will need a drink while looking at their fish tank.

Bottoms up!:cool:

Minh -- Those 120's are 48x24x24..... I know that a lot of people love them (and choose them over the 125g at 72x18x22) simply because they can do awesome aquascaping with the extra inches of depth.

I ALMOST got a 4 foot 120, but the stand for the 125 that I ended up getting was much nicer looking. So, I have the longer 125. Maybe I'll get a 4 foot 120 some time too and have both. Actually, I'm thinking about buying Paul's 38G tall tank (three feet by 12 deep by 20 inches high) and making it a specialty tank, maybe seahorses in the distant future.

my 125T is not that long, its 60"L*19"W*24"T, according to www.seaclear.com its reported as a 125T, get pretty good depth but i wish it was 24"wide so i can do better landscaping like you guys mentioned :( , but besides that i'm overall pretty happy :)

[eifert]

The depth is nice. You some times feel like your snorkeling when watching the tank at night (a few drinks help too!)

Way off topic, but how do I add a photo to my post? I don't want to do it as an attachment, but into the message.

Cheers.

Johnny, you're tank has a nice live rock base. Very nice. Makes mine look empty.

eifert: If you have the picture hosted somewhere (a third-party webserver or your own webserver), then insert an image while posting with the "IMG" button. Enter the URL (http://.....) of the picture and it should appear in the post. Do a "Preview Post" before submitting so you can see if it is appearing as desired. If you have any questions, just ask. :) HTH

Let's see if this works... hmmm

[eifert]

nope. It posted as a link instead. Maybe because I don't have a .jpg extension?

[eifert]

Last try....

Yea! That one worked! :)

I see that you linked from your RC gallery. A lot of people say that is the easiest way. However, you still have the 52KB limitation....

[bdr127]

Oh, I just noticed something about your previous unsuccessful attempt.... I tried just putting in the URL with everything after the '?' and it says "forbidden." It looks like Yahoo purposely does not want people opening and linking to the pictures from outside of their website. Oh well...
