Do you guys like how I used the panorama view to make my 46 gallon tank look larger? Maybe I should enter that CaribSea Tank Contest or just a trick photography contest.

Tonight. My roommate is downstairs watching tv and I feel kinda dumb doing all that crap in front of him. I'll try to get down there after 1 when he goes to bed.

Here they are!!!! A crappy video of my tank after I added Purple Up and it's all cloudy. I have never used this Point and Shoot camera before so bare with me while I get better. There is a decent close up of the large cave in my rock on the right side. My True Percula Clown makes an appearence too while my B+W and cleaner shrimp stay hidden.

WooHoo video evidence that youre tank exists! Its definately getting there Matt.

Question: How much live rock do you have? and do you plan on adding more?

Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

I am guessing you are saying it doesn't look like enough rock. Um, the rock pretty much goes up halfway in the tank. The problem is that the rock on the left is quite large and is incredible looking in person. It would really look bad if I put rocks on top of it because there are so many cool holes the fish go in and out of. There are 60lbs of rock for the 46 so I am almost am at 1.5 lbs per gallon. I may add another piece, maybe 6-7 lbs in the back right to go behind the largest rock. I think once I have corals it may add some more height to the tank.
