Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Finally had a chance to finish my canopy this weekend so here are a few pictures during the final phase....

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Thanks guys... I'm happy with the way that it turned out. My only issue is that the canopy is a little heavier with the skirting, so it needs a slight modification to stay opened. At the moment I am using a piece of wood to keep it open. I need to figure out a better way.

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Here's a pic of one of my latest additions, a red polyp, undata from BAa in London. It originally had a bluish ring at the base, but I have had it sitting on my sand bed and has turned whiter. I'm going to raise it higher and see what it does. Hoping that it's a Jedi Mind Trick.. we'll see ;)

Re: My 90G Pile of Rocks

Been doing a little reading as recommended by jroovers :) and tried a few new settings on my dslr.

Thought to share a few pics...
(when I get really good, I'll start watermarking like the cool kids ;D)

Still lots to learn and try...
