6 month old reef tank.

X.M.Chen · Aug 24, 2016

Here is my 6 month old( I don't have a good camera) 125g reef tank. 1/2 way done. Still need a 3-5 month to finish stock everything.

Here is my photo of the tank. What you guys use to take the photo of the tank?

Thank you. Just start with SPS frag last month. Hope I can have All SPS Frag mouth to the rock next month or so? Did you know any Len or camera can take good photo?

Most of the better pictures you see on this or any other site are taken with a DSLR camera and a macro lens. Not all, but most. Many are then corrected in a software program of some sort to help correct for the blue aquarium lighting. It's difficult to get nice pictures and many struggle with it.

There are a couple good threads in the photography forum here on R2R that discuss photographing our aquariums. You might want to check that area out and see if you can grab some pointers.

The system look nice and healthy. Suggestion, turn down the blues when you shoot or turn up the white and then there will not be all the blue in the pictures
