Just when you think it cannot get any better, and then baaam! he does it again. Amazing looking tank!

The side views are truly stunning

....Inspiration, right there!!

Dapg8gt · 03/26/2014, 12:46 PM

Agreed the side views show a great aspect of what a truly beautiful reef is. One word Awesome!..

Would love an updated equipment shot and shots of the other tanks you have (when you find the time that is probably non existent with all the goodness you got going lol) .. Is there another build thread or anything other than the totm thread.. That was awesome also =).

Very stunning corals, oldude. Is the third pic an efflo?

Thanks, the side view definately gives a different perspective of the reef.

Thank you very much, I think the side view gives a little better idea of how many corals there actually are in there.
Also thanks for your interest. I have 2 build threads - both in the large tank forum.
Here is my original build thread (warning - it is a long read) http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1459184
Here is my latest - thought since I was starting over I should do a new thread rather than add it the 74 pages in the old one.

Thanks much. Are you referring to the 3rd picture in the thread on the first page? I so, no not an efflo - it is acropora granulosa (one of my faves)

FishStoreRob · 03/26/2014, 08:50 PM

I didnt scroll through all 4 pages so i hope im not repeating someone else's question but what sort of camera are you using to capture these photos? Coral are gorgeous by the way, some of the best colors I have ever seen

Thanks for your kind remarks.
I have two cameras, nothing fancy - both Sony Cybershots. One I use with an acrylic box to break the surface and the other is my dive camera and has a waterproof case. I prefer to use the underwater cam but it is harder to hold still because I always forget to turn the MP60's down.

Thanks for the quick response, hope to see more pictures of your reef soon!
