when u take the picture just wait untill it is dark and then turn all the lights off except for the tnk. then use no flash. also use a chair or something to stabilize the camer to avoid blurryness. turning down the filter would also help. thet tank looks good. alot of different species in there. it will be very thick once it grows in a little. love the moss to.. who gave it to ya? lol. that unknow species of hygro is hygro polysperma and will grow like a weed once it catches on. the moss is alot nicer if u tie it onto something. a rock or anything will do. cant wait for the updates

I did all those tings, you had given me those tips before. I will try again tonight. I did tie some of the moss down, but got to lazy, will it catch on by itself at all? If i does, i will just leave it. thanks for the ID on the hydro, wasn't sure. The filter is turned down as low as it can go as it is. I will tie the moss down sometime, lol. I just feel to lazy right now. I am so frusterated with my crappy photos of the tank. arrggg. anyways. thanks for the tips.

the camera has a big role in it to lol. its not just u. my camera has a low mp rating(only 2 mp) but the camera its self is good so it has a good focus on it. the moss will catch if just left on the ground like that but will grow a little more wirey if that makes sense. when u tie it it tends to get ticker. just keep trying on the photo thing and hope for the best.

Time and patience is all that's necessary. When I started taking pics, they looked like crap, worse than you can imagine. Have doubts? Check my gallery.

In the meantime, your tank looks great. Don't let the pics get you down.

well, i tied the moss down and it seemed to have turned all brown and funky after that, it is making a comeback though.
