This is really cool stuff. I hadn't read this thread before. I can't wait to look at the pics on the real computer.
Yes Mr T. Glad you're on board buddy.

i am so jealous!!
wish i had your skill...with building...and fish!
That sounds like how I get things done
I want to make my own tanks. But I'm having trouble finding how thick of glass I need... Do you make yours out of glass or acrylic?
Do you save any money doing it DIY?
Are you using a macro lens? I have a terrible time trying to take picture of fry.
I tried using the macro, focal length too long @150mm. There is no depth of field unless I stop the aperture way down. Even then at the distance away I was it is still minimal depth of field. That's the hyperfocal thing. Search hyperfocal focusing technique.
Also diffraction starts to affect image quality with a really small aperture, it is also difficult to autofocus on small apertures (lack of light/cheap dslr camera)
I ended up using the kit 18-55vr lens as I only have three lenses to choose from.
The other lens is a slow telephoto zoom, five foot nearest focus distance, not really ideal.
Image exif, 55mm, f/10, ISO 1600, 1/100s, flash (built in TTL), Vr on.
Single shot handheld. (Apps) Photogene, frame artist.
Really I want something around the 50-80mm mark. Trouble is camera lenses are not cheap! My next two lenses are an ultra wide Dx(nikon crop sensor) for landscape photography and a fast 50mm. Really I need a decent tripod then I could maybe set up at a better distance. Something about a better flash system.
I'm trying to complete an all angles camera kit, I got a fish house instead?
My choice this year was, complete camera kit and lose fish or keep current camera kit and keep fish (build fish house Mk II). No brainer! Lenses will always be for sale. Fish (clowns) needed a bigger tank, like the one they were in before I moved (the same one they are in now) I built the 5ft soon to be reef tank as a temporary home. They were not happy in it. I was not happy keeping them in that tank. I think I made the correct choice, I wouldn't know what to do without all of the fish! That's just over a quarter of my life so far, Fishkeeping.
I think that's a no
Anway, he's only got a Nikon (I even hestitated to give that a capital N)
Canon freak.
That's the problem, I shoot nikon!
. . . I did read the instructions!
Yes indeed, that's the longest no you will ever read!
