my first full tank shots


it's been a little over a month or so since i started putting things in. so here are some shots

fts with flash


left side


right side


no flash fts


the bubble and one of the branching frogspawns. this one has six heads. it had six and a half from the lfs but i couldn't save the half a head.


the gsp, one of four zoas, and a toadstool leather that isn't looking too hot right now. it looked like that last week also but bounced back for a few days. do these things shead? seems like the last time it closed up like that it shead a layer of skin.


you can see the other frogspawn. this one has three heads. the candy cane has five heads, and looks like it has six mouths. does that mean it's ready to split?


hammer, and green flower pot.




sorry for the not so great pics. i can't find a good setting for my sony camera.

Looks great. Your leather is probably molting, they do that every onece in a while and what you saw was the old skin layer. I like how you made the caves with the branch rock.

Looking good! If you want to snap some shots without the flash, you'll probably want to find a tripod and kill the pumps. Regardless, these came out pretty well!

love the aquascaping! can you adjust the white balance a little? It looks a tad washed out ( at least on my screen )

Looking forward to an update in a few months

thanks everyone.

i'm not sure how to adjust the white balance. it's a little sony t1 that's a few years old. i'll look for a manual for it online tomorrow at work.

the rocks are sturdy. they're on rocklifts, and i don't have any big turbo snails to knock anything around.

i'm running one 250w 20k halide only. the tank is 36" long and 20" tall.

i will be moving the big frogspawn away from the bubble. when they're both fully open they're only about half an inch away from each other.

rocks looks good the only downfall i see is the rocks on the left that r leaning on the glass it might be a pita to clean the glass with that arangment besides that looks awsome

Thats a good point, plus you dont want the presure points on the glass.
The tank loks great, I like the rock work a lot.
