New reeftank shot from me! (pano!)

Sharkbait · Sep 8, 2004

Just got a couple new corals, but they're still acclimating, so it'll be a couple days before they're opened up and ready to be photographed. In the meantime, I took a 3-shot panorama of my system for all those curious folks (I know Tolga will appreciate it anyway!

)

Here's a smaller version that will fit on your screens:

That's one hell of an aquarium. How many gallons? This jazz club I play at used to have a 150 gallon saltwater aquarium like that. The fish were beautiful.

Wow that's awesome, I'd love to have something like that.

I always wondered what your entire tank looked like! I'll be waiting for the shots of your new corals!

Nice as nice can be. What's the dimensions mate?

Neat pics but please stop it!
I have enough expensive hobbies without you tempting me with more!
P.S. Don't stop posting pics of the tank occupants though.

BEAUTIFUL, felt like I was inside the tank........

This is a 130 gal system. It's 6' long, 18" front-to-back, and about 20" tall. Got around 200 lbs of live rock in the system, and my coral collection is growing slowly. It's a very expensive hobby (moreso than photography even!), so I do everything very slowly and as inexpensively as possible. I actually have 7 fish in-system right now, but you can only see two of them at the moment--the others always seemed to be at the opposite end of the tank as what I was shooting (this is a 3-shot panorama stitched together in PS).

shark! it looks great! i cant belive you have it at home(forgive my english, ha ha)... theres a special store with 'fishes and all the strange fishes stuffs' near my house, and i go there sometimes to look at the 'strange underwater landscapes', but yours looks much much better and more beautiful than the ones they have there! wow!

here am i

i really like the rock work over there,
and this is my favotite tank size ratio. (heigt/length = ~0.27 or 0.28, my new tank will be 0.28)

is that an aiptasia? (right center)

Shhh, we don't talk about aiptasia! :lol:

Yeah, I have 3 or 4 big ones that my peppermint shrimp won't touch. They're not spreading though, so :shrug: I'll live with 'em.

Lighting is 4x 96w VHO (3x 50/50, 1x actinic).

Duh! When I first looked at this I said "Uh-oh, didn't match the frames in the stitch." Then I looked at the small one and realized those are the tank lights dummy!

Cool pic, but where's all the fishes? I only see two on the right end.

Yeah, little buggers got camera-shy and hid in the rockwork. Either that or I was shooting the right side of the tank and they were on the left, then vice-versa. :|
