    I'll have to get a full tank shot tonight. In the meantime here are some specs.

    -Dual 175W 10K's (contemplating 20K's) on for 8 hours/day. I run 24in 96W PC's on the refuge opposite the tank.
    -For filtration I have recently converted from a wet dry to a makeshift rubbermaid sump/refuge. This method has actually improved water chemistry.
    -Speaking of chemistry all water parameters are in check. Alk and Calcium are at normal levels.
    -I dose bionic daily and have been very pleased.
    -Shame on me, but I do very little water chages. I might be crazy, but the inhabitants seem to do better. I don't know.
    -All in all I have a very basic, bare bones, system. I tend to try and push the envelope. Either very basic or all out. I had very limited monetary supplies due to wife being a penny pincher, so I went the bare bones method.

    Yes, I have a very good one, IMO. It is an Aqua Medic Turbo Flotor 1000. I absolutely get the stinkiest, nastiest, thickest :pooh: out of that thing. It actually stinks up the fish room so bad I have to empty it just to stay in there long enough for top offs and feeding.

    Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww :shock:

    Get a good camera. A good camera can make even a middling photographer look pretty decent.

    Also turn all the lights out, use a tripod, turn your pumps off, make sure your white balance is adjusted right, and take 100's of pic for a few good ones...

    Also your post processing has a lot to do with it as well...
