Beautiful, Chantal. I'm extremely impressed with your photography skills.

You mentioned that you used a Canon camera. Can you please share what lens you use?

Keep it coming.

:clap2:
Hi gravy9!

Thanks but I'm Cinthia, Chantal is my friend :D
I said that my friend who took those underwater pics used a Canon... mine isn't that good (little shame) I use a Sony Cyber-Shot DSC H9

Thanks again!
Very nice tank, it is so clean. I like the color of the substrate, rocks & the scape. The fish are beautiful & very healthy looking.
beatiful tank, funny how I have almost the same stock of fishes in my 125 g
Great tank, but substrate in my opinion white is better....
I just love yellow labs... One of the first fish I ever bred. They have such great personalities.

Lovely tank by the way.

Oh and good job on the "fish eye" picture HAHA! Wide-angle lens for the win!

Thank you! At first I was going to use just the calcareous substrate and was suposed to get only white, but I saw some tanks with the basalt and I decided to try.... I think it got better because broke the white a little bit...
