Thats a good Idea I'll have to try the ladder trick, I tried putting the camera up against the glas to keep from moving but that didn't seem to help to much. But I guess one of the rock pics isn't blurry so it might have been that one.

I got tired of trying to hold the camera still and picked up a tripod for $12 a couple weeks ago. Does your camera have macro settings?
Great looking setup Matt, love the In-wall tank overlooking the pool table (although I bet the ledge in front of the tank is going to get a beer or two set on it). That's some great looking live rock too!

Not sure on the macro setting, I'll have to check it out and give it a try if it does. About the beer on the ledge thing, It actually has a protective plexiglass window that is sandwiched between the trim that goes around the opening and the wall just in case someone gets wild with a pool cue or ball jumps off the table towards the tank. I had a party this last wekend and it was put to the test with the pool cue and my friend said its pretty strong. LOL
Here he is giving the aproval.

A little update, I put in a bid on those lights but I was outbid at the last minute. I also tore apart my tank a couple of hours ago and gt out the last 2 Damsels. I ended up taking out almost all of the rock to get them out so I ended up reaquascaping my tank. I'll take some pics when the water settles a bit and post them up later.

Well here are some pics of the new layout of the tank and I also piced up a couple new fish since I got the Damsels out and water tests showed Ammonia & Nitrites @ 0 and Nitrate @ .50, Ph 8.4. I ended up getting a Royal Gramma & a Firefish along with a sand sifting star and a cleaner shrimp.

Well all new additions are doing fine and I'm really liking the 2 fish alot, I'm thinking about adding a pair of clowns next. Has anyone gotten any Onyx clown from Rods Reef here in DeKalb? I've seen a thread on them over at RC and the more I read about them I'm leaning that way. Here's his website and they are just down the road a couple miles from me too. Rods Reef - Home

DOOT77, The tank & setup looks sweet. The 500$ drop in price looks real sweet! All around a good deal. The addition of the plexi sheild was very wise. Also on page one of this thread ,pics 6, 8 & 14 look like there is some type of diagonal baffles or such along the back of the tank. If my eyes are not playing tricks on me, could you post another pic? Is it part of the over flows? Thanks
In the photos the floor looks like it has about 1" of water on it and the surface it rippling!
I had to look at this really hard when I first saw it. The dual overflow and black back panel are all one piece. The diagonal marks you see are the silicone to glue the back and overflows to the glass.
