took some pics, all from the top, if you like pics, you should really build yourself a top down box, its very easy and you can get some very nice pictures.

build a box out of acrylic, big enough to fit your camera in, paint the inside black (execpt the end, thats where you take pics from) and mount your camera to the inside edge so you can use it, sink then end of the box in the tank, and click away!

ok couldnt i use a plastic box.

sure can, just make sure the bottom or the box is very very clear, or your pics will be nice and blurry.

Very, very nice, Andy! I don't think I've ever seen corals w/ such great polyp extension. Did you feed the tank right before shooting the pics?

can u get a pic of the box?

Very nice!!

yea i agree, incredible polyp extension!!!

no, some have it good, some not so much, i think its a flow thing, kinda working on that, adjust a powerhead every few days or so and see how it reacts.

just pic them up where ever, from who ever when i see them, i dont really have much execpt single polyps, i have 4 or 5 of the orange, i could part with one. ;) for a price. :huh:

Very nice..I want to do that one day but afraid that I might loose my footing one day and end up tipping over my tank.

good deal andy, glad to see you finally built it...the pics look amazing!! Hey I see one of my corals in there :)

you really got to play around with everything, its really hard to get some good shots, but the top down box is really the key for all the shots i took, it really makes it easy.
