John90009 75G rebuild- better stronger and smarter

[john90009]

Well guys as most of you known i used to have a 75 which was pritty nice now that i look back at the colors. but unfortunately i crashed it as if Helen Keller was given a car to drive. Well i had pics from when i first setup the tank again to show some of the damage and today i have taken some new pics so get ready for so many pictures it took my computer a good 30 minutes to transfer and decode em. P.s no photoshopping or raw images cause im a kid and to lazy for it. every shot was adjusted on the camera to the most life like colors. enjoy .

now here are the actinics shots with 2 110 super actinic vhos. To the human eye its purple depending on how your eye takes in the light apparently the camera was overpowered by the blue.

OK, I don't know what kind of car Helen Keller was driving, but your insurance company did a fabulous job rebuilding the tank. The third from last is my favorite by a long shot. Persistance pays off.

[john90009]

sorry lisa ill try some other time i relle hate shooting a fts with the halides even with super actinic a 12k bulb looks liek a 6500 k bulb and to get a fts with my lens id have to move the couch again.

no problem ... whenever you get a chance that would be great.  i'd like to see how all the corals look together

[john90009]

sorry for the delay lisa my camera lense cant get close in on the corals and the whole tank close enough to see . im trying to get rid of zoas and the green ricordeas and also some accidental frags that were made of the ora spongodes and hopefully try to raise money to get a vortech cause my flow could be better or restock with some corals iv never had before.
