better do something before it really look like a refugium

Are you setting up a fug tank?

Interesting, looks like a typical seashore habitat. Maybe you could do a biotope aquarium and try to mimic the habitat - pistol shrimp, shrimp gobies, caulerpa and the like.

Agree with DragonGoby, I think its original

Better than a typical sps tank, softies or what have you these days, after a while, they all look the same. Hobbyists should really widen their perspective as to how a home aquaria 'should' look like.

You'll probably find some trouble coping with issues such as nuisance algae forming due to the low flow, but good discipline and moderated stocking, feeding and use of good equipment should mitigate the effects.

Its kind of like a planted tank, but marine. The algae also act as biofilter for the softies. Green one I know is caulerpa. Don't know what the brown and red algae species are, although I think i've eaten the red one before - bought from isetan supermarket they all appeared after I put in a tablet of aquapharm instant bacter.

A closer look. With the other inhabitant out of hiding!

How to take a photo of whole tank using digital cam like IXUS 400 with everything in reasonably sharp focus? How come I can never do it?

oops...... I think off topic

[DeepBlue]

I used to take a lot of my tank/coral shots with my IXUS 330. What I did, switched off your flash, turn on the tulip icon for sharper pic....you just have to adjust distance to get the desired image you want. Acutally, the most impt of all is to keep you hands still.

frankly, I find tripods a must to get very sharp images if you do not have those solid solid cams....now I am using the G5 powershot from Canon....still no where near the photo quality many guys here can acheve...I still rely on the tripod. (Know nuts about potography...just another canon Ixus user)
