Are you, at all using photoshop? Cause I don't understand how you got your tank to look like saltwater heaven. Seriously it's amazing can't wait for these updated pics, I will definitely be watching this thread!
Keep on amazing us! PLEASE!

Your tank is absolutely amazing... where do you find such different corals? None of the LFS's around here really carry corals like those...

Thank You!
I live in San Mateo, but we don't have that many fish stores on the peninsula. Here are the places I go to or have been too and liked:
Ultimate Aquarium (San Mateo)
Ultimate Frags (San Jose)
Ocean Treasures (San Francisco)
Atlantis Aquarium (Union City) I don't go here much because it's overpriced, but they have TONS of rare corals.
Neptune Aquatics (Milpitas)

BEAUTIFUL!!!! What type of camera are you using? and you didn't answer my photoshop question

Thanks! I use a Canon XTi. I don't use photoshop, but I shoot all my pictures in RAW and develop them in Adobe Lightroom. I try to make them look as natural as possible, so when you look at the pictures, the colors are the same as you would see in person.

I've never heard of Ultimate Frags. Where is it located in San Jose? I love Neptune Aquatics though. I think they are a great store with a beautiful setup. Makes me want to spend money every time I go there.
