Title: Mascha's aquarium - testing, testing, one, two
Post by: Mascol on July 22, 2016, 12:23:16 PM
Right, am trying to post a pic, but it's proving very difficult - in part because my husband bought me an iMac which is great for certain things, but in other ways it's very different from a 'normal' PC and it's taken me ages to work out how to basic stuff - like resize a picture.

Ok, that actually worked, great! What will be clear is that the picture quality is appalling. I am a woman of many talents but photography really isn't one of them! Trying another shot (equally poor). Taking photos of forktails is even more difficult as they race around like Billy Whizz and just don't stop long enough for my phone camera to focus in - they're basically a blurry streak with a bit of blue!

Right, so the second pic is my old tank. It's currently home to my male platys. As you can see, the stand is very narrow. It houses the external Eheim filter. Only the right hand panel opens out leaving a rather narrow gap to work on the filter. Frankly, it's a pig and it's got to go! Plan is to buy a nice sturdy sideboard and accidentally on purpose put a smaller (70L) tank with internal filter on top of it :-) It'll make a lovely home to dwarf puffers or shell dwellers  :fishy1:

The photos are fine. We can see what the tanks look like  ;D

Nice tanks and I love those blue eyes.

Great pics indeed. Loved the comment about "accidentally on purpose" setting up a 70-litre tank.  :rotfl:

Your pics are pretty much the same as I can achieve, despite having a bridge camera. Need a decent one for some quality fishy pics... @Evolution Stu is kicking us all up the backside here  :rotfl:
