First of i'd like to say that the trop is awesome. Great service great fish. I picked up 3 yellow tangs, 1 blonde naso tang and 1 powder blue tang.

I'm no merv or steve but here are some pics ;)

nice pics what are you talking about? Good composition, now here's a tip on refraction:

I notice a slight refraction on the first pics. you probably took those pics at an angle from the front glass. Make sure your camera is exactly parallel to the front panel of the tank. That'll prevent refraction which causes image blur and distortion.



PS
there is a reason why steve became "merv" LOL

Nice pictures. I like the PB.

Hey Merv, how do you deal with refraction when you have a bow front tank? Besides shooting from the sides or the back. ::)

Marcelo-
you can either get up smack close to the tank and keep as close to parallel to the middle of the lens to the front of the tank

OR

Take a picture at least 4-5 feet away

OR

get a flat tank :)
