I just went through this thread; ironic that it's on an aquarium board because the photos show the utter futility of trying to recreate an ocean reef in a tank!

Thanks for posting these fantastic photos...I've been diving several places in the caribbean and it looks like there's no comparison!

I'm supposed to recreate that in a glass container????

Awsome stuff! Thanks! And ditto on the living vicariously through you.....

Can't wait for the next installment.

Alrighty,
I'm back again. Went to Magnetic Island on Saturday. The weather was great, thankfully, but the vis was not so good.
Magnetic island is a fairly close reef, so there is never really brilliant vis, but that's what the outer reefs are for.

Anyway, here are some shots from the trip, enjoy!

This is my friend Jamie at our snorkelling site, looks nice doesn't it?

More coming soon.....

And now for some tank shots!

Some mushrooms,

A purple, and a green staghorn, with a pesky wild caught black and white occelaris getting in on the photo.

You can see the coral beauty and the 3 stooges (chromis) in here.

more on the way...

Wish I had 10k to take myself and my wife to Aust for some diving.

 

[cutnup]

[edr42]

Thanks for all the compliments guys, the weather's been a little iffy lately, so the reef trip will be in a week or two just to make sure the water's cleared up. I'll see if i can dig out some more pics in the meantime.
Stay tuned.
