Some, I'll have to figure out how to photograph it, I like that the tank still has the natural look.

If your camera has an option for manual white balance, you could use that. It would require that you remove the netting, set a "good" manual white balance (follow camera directions) then re-install netting and take a picture with the same white balance setting on the camera. This would show the difference quite well, without setting a known white balance, the camera will auto adjust, and both pictures will look very similar.

Great job on installing it, looks very clean.

Thanks Poseidon! I will try that, I just got a new camera a Canon Power Shot SX260 HS it has many different setting I'll play with it and see what I come up with.

Hi everyone, small update. Today I installed a granite bar in front of the tank, what do you think?

I have been thinking of doing this same thing. I really enjoy your thread. Keep the pics coming, even if they are redundant to you a lot of us still like to see the growth and fish.

Hi guys thanks for the great comments!

I went out of town for the weekend. I saw the opening night of The RUSH Tour for “Clockwork Angels” in Manchester, NH. It’s something I’ve been doing with my brother and my best friend Blake for many years, I have seen them a total of 90 times now!

My wife did a great job taking care of the tank.

Opening Night Dead Center Front Row!!!
