gioNVA December 22, 2009 Share December 22, 2009 Just got a top down acrylic box and trying to learn how to take photos with it. I really like how photos turn out but need to figure out how to take more shots given the space above the tank. The clarity and coloration is just so much better when viewing corals from the top. I think next time I will turn off all or at least some of the pumps to keep the box from moving and maybe i'll get better shots. This blue table is my favorite coral right now. I got the colony from SteveM. Supposed to be a rainbow monti. Slowly regaining the reds and oranges: Unknown yellow bottlebrush with green tips: Oregon Tort: Unknown tort: Lime in the sky?? Rose Millepora: ORA Hawkins Echinata: Sunset Millepora: Montipora sp? ORA Red Planet that I was brown when I got it: Tricolor Valida: Purple Monster: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanman December 22, 2009 Share December 22, 2009 So you're the one that got that acro from SteveM. I asked for it as soon as he posted he was going to be selling corals, but he said someone already had asked for it. Nice pics! bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epleeds December 23, 2009 Share December 23, 2009 Montipora sp? GioNVA this was the one i was interested in a side shot of. your inbox is full. eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gioNVA December 23, 2009 Author Share December 23, 2009 oh that one. That's the only shot I have so far. It's a small frag I just got so it may take some time before I can get a frag out of it. I will take a side shot though and post it here. Thanks! Sorry, my inbox has been cleaned out. I have a lot of messages about the blue table acro. The tabling formation on that is so tight I don't think I can get a big frag out without breaking up the whole piece. I think the most I can get from it are half inch frags.

killrblue March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 Where can one purchase the top down acrylic box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 Where can one purchase the top down acrylic box? I have no financial interest in this guy's business, but I thought it might be good for a Group Buy if there are others who are interested. I have purchased acrylic products from him in the past and have had no problems with quality, shipping, etc. Shoot me a PM if you're interested, and if there is sufficient interest, I'll start a Group Buy. Here is the link to the largest box he sells - 10x10x4 ... $38 OrBestOffer http://cgi.ebay.com/10X10X4CAMERA-TOP-VIEWING-BOX-FOR-FRAG-TANKS_W0QQitemZ190375146616QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item2c533e3478 the small (5x5x3) is $23-OBO and the medium (8x8x3) is $30-OBO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epleeds March 31, 2010 Share March 31, 2010 if there is interest, we might also be able to use a forum member (NAGA) and he might be able to do even better when he has the scrap laying around. i would be interested in one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadgets November 5, 2012 Share November 5, 2012 Just an FYI. U guys might want to go for something smaller for top down photos. The one linked is great for viewing but will cause a ton on glare for photos. Avast Marine makes a really nice on that I use. It's called to porthole.
