Dave B. 400g tank photos

[rickztahone]

Dave and I have been trying to coordinate a time to meet up at his house so I can get some experience shooting SW setups. I was worried I wouldn't get back home in time to make our arrangement, but luckily it panned out , and it was so worth it. Dave's tank is really amazing, and anyone who hasn't seen it in person should really talk to him about possibly stopping by to see it.

Anyways, here are some of the stand outs. Follow this link for the whole album:

Thank you as well.

It is indeed an amazing tank. It is difficult to translate this via pictures only, but when you stand in front of this tank, you can literally spend hours in front of it and find new things hours in. Just amazing.

Joe Kelley, THANK You !!!

If you guys don't know Joe Kelley hit the search button and do some reading. Joe Kelley is one of the old school masters at coral keeping.

Joe you have to come visit. MASLAC meeting is this Saturday Afternoon in Van Nuys, and then I'm having an open house afterwards to show off the tank. If you have some free time Saturday you should come visit.


Rik, Thanks but I doubt that will happen.

Amazing man !
That's what I dream my tank to look like one day.
Like a boss!

I wanted to include a full rez version of the FTS simply so you guys can zoom in a bit more and actually check out Dave's corals and fish a little closer. Click on the picture and it will take you to my flickr account. When there, click on the image and it should let you view it a little larger
