The lemon fish is great... I would take a hundred of those until I got it absolutely perfect.

Not really to be honest.. I find it much simpler than freshwater etc.. Once you got it setup properly you just do the regluar maintenance and leave it at that.. No point mucking around all the time.. Dosing this dosing that when you really don't know what it does.. Thats when it starts to create problems..

You be surprised how cheap you can get a small setup up and running with some saltwater fish, few rocks and perhaps one or two corals :)

anyways.. cheers :)

really? my family was going to buy a tank to put under our t.v. (dont ask why they wanted it under a flatscreen..something tells me that you shouldnt put a TV obove a huge tank of water...) but everywhere we looked everything was extremely expensive.. cause you had to buy the coral and certain plants to go in there so the fish dont die, and you had to make sure the salt content was the right amount all the time. etc. how much was your whole setup?

[siddr20]

Yes dont put a tv on top of it lol.. Gonna be hard to feed the fish, or move things around... Actually you need lights on top of your tank.. So a tv is deff a NO NO!!

You dont even need corals dude.. Just put some live rocks in and leave it at that..

I had a much smaller tank with two clown fish, and couple of pieces of live rock.. Thats it!! nothing else in the tank.. Well apart from coral sand at the bottom..

My setup - i went all out mate.. 4*2*2 tank, with 50kgs of live rock, corals, more fish.. skimmer, chiller, metal halides, etc etc etc.. Its an investment and very rewarding!!

All i do now is do regular water changes, keep an eye out of water parameters every now and then.. and make sure everythings ok (visually by eye). Leave it at that..

Very easy to maintain!!

Yea look expensive. haha awesome shots though how do you keep from the fish moving and not getting the reflection I tried a while back with a friends tank and no cigar.

[Logan2010]

well it was going to be on a wall mount.. but still.. if that puppy broke off the wall.. there goes a tank and a ****load of water on the carpet... not a smart move lol.

Keep the glass clean firstly.. Also just try and focus on the fish only.. Perhaps pan with it if you have too..

I taken a nice panning shot of the fish :P hahah

But otherwise just have a quick shutter speed!! Just experiment with the camera and have some fun :)
