[mangus7175]

^saaaaweet goby shot!

[Bri Guy]

Sorry, I missed that I should add my tank specs...

http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1129476

that should cover it!

[Bigbyrd]

mangus- i just use a tripod and put the camera on the self timer so i dont have to touch it at all...and ever since she came up with this for the contest ive been practicing...the hardest is top down shots at night cuz you have the reflection of the moonlights to worry about and no where to put the camera/tripod....but i set up some eggcrate, made a shelf across the tank and kinda held the light up and got some decent shots.
