Finally got a decent full tank pic of my 415!
Well, I did some experimenting with my camera and got some tips from some guys in #reefs and finally got a decent full length shot of the tank. I had the exposure set to spot metering and it is still a tiny bit over exposed, but 100% better than any of the full tank shots I had tried in the past.
The tank is basically 1 year old this month. Still a baby but it is starting to look like a reeftank finally!
Here it is:
Here is the same shot but a little bigger:

I also have some recent pics at the very bottom left of this page:

FWIW, Nathan

I showed my roommate the pic of your tank, and she said" it doesnt look that big" than I showed her the pic of your wife and kids inside the tank and she couldnt beleive it. I couldnt either. That really give a perspective to it. Do you have any shots of someone standing next to it when its full?
