Freshwater Aquarium Photography This is the photography forum for the FW section. It's a dedicated forum to post pictures of some of the things in our tanks, pics of new additions, as well as for great information exchange, tips, tricks, and overall just discussing cameras and photography techniques of our tanks. Learn all about apertures, f-stops, ISOs, macro, flashes, white balance, and anything and everything else that drives us crazy to get a masterpiece shot. Feel free to show off your tanks in here, and plus its a great way for humble people to nonchalantly have their tanks nominated by the other members for Tank Of The Month. Don't be shy!

Thumbs up 20L + 5G open bottom type setup

I just wanted to see what people thought of this set up. Here is a bit of information on it first.

I used a 20 gallon long aquarium and a 5.5 gallon aquarium that I took the black rim off of. The drinking glasses holding it up are probably temporary until I can find something better (I was thinking maybe Greek columns or thick bamboo pieces). The light was originally part of a hood setup for the 20 gallon, I hung it from the ceiling instead of resting it on top. I also plan to replace that with a 2 t5 bulb fixture.

Oh, and that is a snail on the front glass.

I really like it, but it is going to be a bitch to maintain, what are you doing for water flow in the bottomles tank?

There is a powerhead that circulates the water through the whole tank pretty well
