Lets get it out of the way- FTS Standard 90 gallon AGA Lighting- Maristar 2x250 DE helios 20k Supplemention 1 54w ATI actinic+(22K) & 1 54W ATI aquablue (12K)  And now the corals

Wow.
You're right, your tank is too full. You really need to prune all that stuff. I'll help. I'll even dispose of all the prunings. Really. I'll make it that easy.

OMG.. That's INSANE!!
Dude if you're not a photographer then it's the camera!! What kind of camera is that? Any special Lens? What settings are you using? Are you setting the white balance with something in the tank before shooting? The focus is just incredible!!

Thanks for all the support and kind words.
Doug- I have the vortech on the right side in front of one of my nanostreams. I am shooting these picture with a recently purchased Nikon D40x. I shoot the corals with the 105mm vr lens on a tripod with a remote shutter. The FTS was with the basic 18-55 lens. WB is the toughest as I like my tank blue. I use an expodisc for this, but there are other tricks that I have learned as well. I am still learning as I see improvement in my shooting, but I still shoot in JPEG fine because Raw is a little too much for me to process so far.

Mark, its a lot to ask, but would you mind naming each piece pictured? It would go a long way helping a noob like me to learn how to ID corals. Thanks!

I second the name request.
And I second the offer to help prune back and haul away the overgrowth. You have soooo many nice corals.
