Man I need a good camera, every-time I get ready to spend the money I always by something else for my Rimless Reef instead! Damn you self control, damn you.
Haha! I take photos all the time (: Ooh! Wait! I think it grew another Angstrom!…click. . I can’t help myself. I just got my first few SPS corals and already I’m seeing itty bitty growth patterns emerging! I am going to make a digital journal now! Thanks buddy!!
Tip for those people with digital SLR (and advanced compacts).
Don’t use the light the camera says. Usually the picture is better when the camera says there was a little to less light. For some reason the camera cannot measure the aquarium light correct.
There are now 2 things I look forward to on a Friday. That’s the start of the weekend and your Friday AM Quick tip. I have have to say that my weekends are not the same now that I have watched all your videos. Learnt loads and have implemented some of your ideas and have some great ideas now for when I get my upgrade tank early next year.
Documentation is very useful but having a bunch of pics isn’t necessarily “fun”. It just is taking a bunch of pics. Outsiders would consider watching grass grow more entertaining.
Adding a ruler or some type of comparison to the image proves VERY useful when taking the photos.

That’s a really simple yet wonderful idea… A bit like keeping a baby album for your tank… 😀
Hmmm… I think I know which album’s going to get the most pictures and I can see me being in trouble again… 😛
I do this and it’s really to have I like doing videos of my tank on YouTube really cool mark!
