Shallow reef build

Best I could do for a quick shot.

I am hoping to get some shots of the back side of the tank tomorrow, its so hard to get top down pics becsuse the light glares and a photo box doesnt work well in a very shallow tank. I need to find a good acrylic scraper because the sides are dirty as heck. Any suggestions?

You should get one of those "coral viewers".
They are acrylic round floaters to view and take pictures from the water surface.

I have one but the canopy makes if impossible to see what your taking pics of unless its right upfront. Maybe i can get the local acrylic guy to make a large square look down viewer so i dont have to actually put my head above it to see what i am shooting. Something like 1' by 2' might be a lot easier.

Now I understand.
Yeah, I've got same problem here.
The only solution would be to place the light fixture sideways, and that's not aways easy as it sounds!!

I just brought frags to the store and saw they made new lookdown boxes, exactly like what i need Looks like i am going to be borrowing one for a few days while the store is closed! Until then i am going to try and get a few more shots from different sides :bounce1:

Thanks, its hard to get this phone to take pics with the right colors but most are pretty good, some are washed out looking. Hopefully tomorrow i can get more pics of the other 9/10ths of the colonies that are in her tank.
We apreciate the compliments!

More phone pics coming before i return the big look down box. Also bubble algae clean up day... wish me luck... I hate that stuff! Also she found a tiny crab that looked similar to an emerald crab but maybe only a quarter inch wide the other day, it was pretty cool looking.

I use tapatalk to post pics with my phone, and since i started using this new phone the pics are smaller and have that mark on them. I guess to show you can enlarge them, can everybody enlarge them and see a better pic by doing so? Not sure how to post pics without them.
