Figured I would put my latest jungle out there.....

Any suggestions on photo taking I will pass on to Lori so fire away. Scaping comments I will take center mass.

To get the fish (and plants) in better focus, you need to shoot at a faster shutter speed which will make the photo darker (unless you open the aperture up).

I like the jungle look, but I don't know about that Hygro sp. "Airlineiguensis"

yeah I didnt pull any of the equipment out ...there is actually two of the DIY CO2 hoses running in there and the filter is in there too but blends fairly well with the back of the tank. Had to get a photo to Franny for CCA though and didnt want to keep Lori up any later than necessary so all it got last night was a cleaning of the water spots off the front of the glass.

an external flash helps immensely as you can shoot at a much faster speed.

Your scape looks pretty good Rob. Is this one of the ones that was setup at the meeting at your house?

Rob, I think this is the best aquascape I've seen of yours! Well done!

Except, add more red! *kidding*

This is the tank that was setup as the topic of the meeting that met with a really bad case of bearded algae that led me to remove all the hardscape and most of the plants to get rid of.....the blyxa aubertii in the back are recent additions from Jeff and just starting to grow in so I hope that they fill the void there a bit more and after I move(assuming I buy a house) I plan on setting this tank and two 75s up on my pressurized CO2 which should help tremendously with growth.....there is actually quite a bit of red and pinks in that center mass of jumbled stems....I really need to rip it all out and sort that area to get a better growth pattern. Its hard to tell but the rocks are a lot larger than they appear as they both have a large mass of moss growing. The rock on the right goes all the way up to the anubias to its right and the rock on the left extends about two or three more inches inside that mass of Moss and Mayaca.

I agree, probably the best scape I've seen of yours, looks great!

You guys need to teach me how to achieve that perception of depth. That tank looks 4 feet deep to me.
