Err.

I think the reflection is pretty bad.
Did you plant anything already?

[juggler]

This is BIG! Has it been filled to the brim to see if the glass can hold the 2.5 tonne of water? Or it won't be filled to the brim?

So the light source is sunlight? Or do you have MH lights etc?

Keep us updated on the planting progress! Wonder how you are going to do the planting.

bad skill photography

Not yet I will updated the picture soon with the planting progress and a better picture.

This is BIG! Has it been filled to the brim to see if the glass can hold the 2.5 tonne of water? Or it won't be filled to the brim?

I'm using 170 x 50 (cm) 19mm glass filled to the brim with 2cm-thick black silicon glue. So, I'm pretty sure it can hold 2.5 ton of water.

So the light source is sunlight? Or do you have MH lights etc?

Yes, I'm using sunlight filtered by 75% net as the light source and still planning for the MH-lighting sets.. Don't have enough money to buy them now

Keep us updated on the planting progress! Wonder how you are going to do the planting.

Ok..

All plants, no fishes......

It's impossible right now... Anyone have idea how to get a frontal shot without making ugly reflection?

All plants, no fishes......

I will add some fish later, because the planting is still in progress.

One method is to use a black board(as big as the frontal of the tank)in front of the camera with a hole in the centre of the board slightly bigger than the camera lens. That will cut off all the reflections. ... Or you can try shooting at night with only the tank lights on.

hi jeffry,
welldone. finally you make it and finished it.

[loupgarou]

where do you get all your hybrids from?

[ragn4rok]

Thanks babyhidjaya...

Sorry Chris , I can't tell you about where I got them. The person who sold them to me told to keep it as a secret.

Regards,

Jeffrey

hi, to get rid of reflections, you can try using a polarising filter attached to your lense.
