Latest Picture:
(Due to Photobucket arbitrarily setting the default upload size to 800x600 sometime recently I have been uploading most of my large 2mpixel pics at 800x600 resolution. Its a wonder they show any detail at all with all that jpeg "lossy" compression) Hmmph...

Whats funny is that you'd never know I was an astrophotographer based on my fish tank pictures. I've taken crystal clear images of Saturn at 8AU from Earth but I can't seem to take a picture of a fish tank sitting 4 feet in front of me.

Ah ha! There's your problem. You need to adjust the focus

Awesome pictures, great tank, and I love the way its taking shape.

RedIrocZ-28 · 04-26-2007, 03:45 PM

Ok

Saturn, taken Feb 8th and 9th, 2006

Now, I need to get another picture of the tank up.

Dawn and Dusk lighting compliments of Menards. (Combilight 20W Halogen 3 packs for $9.99!! ) It looks so cool in person.

Very cool tank, I've never seen a cube that size. Great Saturn pic too, I saw the rings once through a big reflector in space tech class back in high school, it is a truly unbelievable thing to see in person.

RedIrocZ-28 · 07-04-2007, 04:44 PM

Side view, They're all the rage these days afterall.

This gives you more of an idea of the size of the cube.

**Digsy** · 07-04-2007, 05:35 PM

I'm really jealous of your extra large cube! I'm not sure if I missed this somewhere but, did you buy this at an LFS somewhere or did you have it custom made?

It's looking great so far!

The cube was purchased from a factory direct type of place in Detroit. Great Lakes Aquariums is the name of the place. The cost was $69.99. Yes that is the correct price, that is not a typo. They are not an ADA class tank where the silicone is perfect but they make normal sized tanks and even some hard to find sizes on the spot for a customer at ultra reasonable prices.
