I have to split it between car fish a/v and wife lol. I sit and look at my tank and think...that could be a built block for my car and turing up the boost. But I love my fish too...

I have 4.10's also

I took a few pictures of the tank a couple of days ago. I was playing with the new macro lens and the Gary Fong flash difuser.

It's been a little over a month since I posted any updates so I figure it's about time. Here are a couple of full tank shots.

Looks awesome man ! Where have ya been ? Fish look great.
 
Looking good...Looking real good man. What kind of flash setup on those full tank shots...overhead? If I use mine overhead I cant ever get the rest of the tank to show up. Just the triangle of the flash and everything else is black. Maybe my settings were wrong...or the flash is too close to the water....

I am going to try to get some new ones this week...I have a bunch more fish!

Thanks. For the flash I am using three flashes above the tank, I am planning on getting two more though. The primary (center) flash is a Canon 430EX II using a cactus remote trigger. On each side (top) of the tank I am using some $10 remote flashes that I picked up at Ritz camera. They just operate by sensing when the other flash goes off. For the price they can't be beat.

Thanks. I have been pretty busy with my job, my business, and going to the gym trying to get back into shape. I have also been spending a good bit of time on the new crotch rocket (MV Agusta F4 1000R).
 
Ahhh I thought it might have been a few flashes up there but I hadn't gotten any funny emails blaming me for them lol. I will have to check out those 10$ flash...u have a link??

You forget that I now have your snail mail address, I'm just going to mail you invoices from here on out. ;)

I can't find the flash on the Ritz website, it is a Quantaray MS-1 wireless flash booster / slave. For the price I don't think it can be beat. I may have been wrong on the price though, they may cost about $20 each.
