I'm new to this forum but wanted to share some images with you. I love photography and reef tanks so that works great for me! My husband and I are just finishing up our 330 gallon tank. Hopefully soon I'll have some of my own corals to photograph. Hope you enjoy - comments/critiques are welcome!

The only color adjustment was the white balance of the images. They are some amazing corals on their own -they don't need any enhancing!

Pleaae tell us more about the tank you are setting up

Thanks! I'm just starting to get the hang of reef tank pictures. We haven't had a tank in the house in about 5 years. (My husband has our only tank at work!) I'm really anxious to get our 330gallon going so that I have my own corals to practice on.

I can give an overview, but my hubby is the one designing it. I can't keep up with what's keeps going through his head! The tank is 4ftx5ftx27in inwall with the 4ft being the display side. The sump is approx 150gallons and will have about 100g of surge tanks. We were hoping to have water in it by the end of this month, but it's been 1 step forward 2 steps back for the last few weeks! So now hopefully Feb. Once it's complete I can get some pictures posted.

It is an art form all it's own. My husband and I love taking photo's as well. What kind of camera are you using??

Oh.....and Welcome to TRT
