Please, give any advice you think i will need. Enjoy the pictures!
 
It is 9w flourecent lighting. It is very bright. The lighting came built into the hood, and you cant replace it at all. Kind of stupid but oh well. The pictures are a little fuzzy, sorry. I am glad you like it. I have enjoyed it so far. Thanks for your comments.

Oh, and thanks so much for the ID.

Thats the same with my tank,lighting built into the hood with no way to upgrade it...oh well. Looks good anyway, have fun
 
Try taking some pictures from a postition directly perpendicular to the front glass so that the top light does not wash the pictures out so much. It looks like a very nice tank but it's hard to tell from all the glare from above :)
 
ok, i will try to get some better pictures. My camera is very old aswell, and if it senses the slightest movement, the picture will come out fuzzy, thanks for the compliments and travis, thanks for the photography tip.
 
if u are worried about moving then put a chair infront of the tank or somekind of stand then place the camera on top of it. this will steady the camera and hopefully get u a better pic :) i hope that helps i cant wait to see what the tank really looks like.
 
Ok, i totally ripped apart my tank to put driftwood and rock it, so it looks diferent, and when i took those pics i did have a stand, i used my bagpipe case(yes i play the bagpipes :p) I will try to get some better pics, maybe not with my camera though.
 
the pictures might take a while, lol, my camera is out of comission for a while. So i might have to post a new topic once they come. I put some hornwort in to fill in those spots. It looks very jungle-ish. I can't wait to get some decent pics on.
