Re: Some pictures of my tank with new lights

To be honest....looks really bulky.

I liked it a lot better before....you should have made Navarro stay and help you...or next time I'm over we can go at it and play in the sand box!

Re: Some pictures of my tank with new lights

i think that it's befitting that honkin tank of yours D......sweet......but your pictures sure don't do that honkin tank justice.....i'm 5' 4" and i can't even reach the top of that monster.....i like it D.......the fishies look happy......and i have to say that D's fish are very happy looking fishies.....

nice work D

Re: Some pictures of my tank with new lights

Just a bit of constructive critism.

Having seen your tank in person you have the depth to your advantage. Right now there is no sense of depth and that is easily accomplished in your tank with the rocks being the only limiting factor if any.

To bring what Navarro said into play look at it from the corners and make if seem as though that is your viewing point. Stake the rocks so that it pleases the eye. Set your main stone/pile and have your supposrting stones or surrounding stones compliment it. Don't pile them to take away from your focal point/main rock/pile.

This should be done viewing from the right corner since you have the overflow you want out of the picture. Whatever you have left set it to the right side in "mirror" of the left but smaller of course and that will cover the output yu have on the tank bottom.

You could also factor in the HQI's too since the shimmering beam will give the rock placement that added depth effect.

If you go with the "golden ratio" it would really set off your tank.

If you aren't insulted by my post I would love to give scaping your tank a try! I'm no Navarro but I love working at my skills!

Man, you got Navarro to your place now you gotta get him to work for you!

As they say in the movies, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. It looks great Derek, I especially love the blue light phots's.

And the brickwork is a cool background too in my opion, maybe you could one day, cover the stand with some thing like Brick Contact paper???

Thanks for sharing the pics, now I don't feel so bad for posting my blurrie shots either.....
