The 55g pics are gorgeous, very colorful, very clean aquarium. I don't have a
digital camera myself but I have easy access to someone else's. I'm not good
at
taking pictures and today I was playing with it. When I take picture of my
tank
some bright leaves instead of appearing bright green they just look white on
the
photo :-( I have no idea what setting to change :-(

Anyway, here is one photo:

Hi Marvin!

Thanks for the comments! I didn't know what I was doing when I was

playing
with my digital camera, which is why I am so astounded that the pics came out
as well as they did. I fell asleep reading the instruction manual last night
so I still don't know about all its bells and whistles, yet. One thing that
might help is if you touch up your photos with a program like Adobe
photoshop...I got some really poor-quality photos (taken with my regular

camera
before I got the digital) back from the film developer, but after I lowered

the
brightness and increased the contrast, they turned out really beautiful (well,
of course as the owner of the pictures I am biased).

I like the october25 photo a lot! it's very artistic and of course has that
beautiful discus of yours. It looks like you added some new plants since your
last photo? Someday I'd like to setup a big discus tank myself, but that's

not
for a LOOOONG time when I'm finished with school. I have my hands full enough
now as it is.

Thanks for sharing; let us know when you have new pictures!!

Hi Erica,

You're right, over the last week I added $88 worth of plants to the 90g
aquarium. I was told the tank looked empty. Now I think it looks better but
according to many people's standards it definitely is not "heavily" planted. I
will add more plants but I've visited all LFS and there is nothing available
that I would like so I have to be patient.

I also added 21 Cardinals a few days ago so I couldn't resist to take a picture
;-)
