Setting up a tank for photgraphy!!

[Ognid]

Hello,

I like the idea of of being able to view the tank from all sides.
This thread inspired me http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=970993&highlight=England

But I think I am going to use this tank instead beacause its acrylic and better for pics and much cheaper:

I was thinking the 20x20x24 and puting it on a cart with casters.
So i could move it abit.

I think this could be a macro machine!!!

Any tips on plumbing ect. or setup PLEASE let me know.

That is going to look great.


Those tanks a similar shape the Lousit's current TOTM.

I would love to have one. Would you try and plumb everything out the bottom like in your first link? This way you won't loose the "viewable from all sides look". Keep us posted!

Yes everything will be plumbed out of the bottom.
Circulation will have to go through the rocks somehow

with a tank like that i will suggest to do what im planning to do in my 10g hex. there is not much space but is tall. so the rock will be mounted one on top of the other forming a tower. the publing will come from below the tank, to keep the tank clean 360*

has a photographer just for hubby i want my tank to be able to be photograph all around it.

teh chanlege in cube is that if your subject is in a corner your lent won't be parale with the glass. so this will creat some distorcion. with an hex you have more oportunities to photograph all around the tank.
