Hi

Looking good,

That tower has some serious patential.

hi Craig,
the tower is secured by silicone, cable ties, and helpful nooks and crannies in the rock, so its pretty stable. Once it gets a gd coating of corraline it'll look pretty good methinks :D
btw Craig we are following each other round at the mo arent we ;) :D
Cheers,

At last thats the first time I've seen someone post a picture of 6 spot sleeper goby! I love my one he's a great character and always poses for the photos..

I'll post my pics of him up when I finally get around to it...

Mine has changed colour slightly, when I first got him he was bright white like that but now his back appears to have darkened as he's matured...

[Beluga Whale]

will get a full tank shot, left side, right side, and close ups the weekend after next ;)

[Beluga Whale]

and a very poor shot of my wrasse (he is too quick and always turns out as a blur :rolleyes: )
i don't use flash when im taking these shots cus i don't wanna spook the fish... as a result the shutter speed is quite slow...do any of you use flash taking fishy shots?

[Beluga Whale]
