Really nice Kirk! :thumbsup:

Yeah, they're definitely due. Just haven't had a lot of free time lately and wanted to get some quick pics up.

What do you guys use to clean equipment? I've been dumping everything in vinegar.

[Reeferhead]

I use a big tub and add about 1/4 cup of muriatic acid to every five gallons of water.

 

[smoothdog]

I do the same only I use even less glacial acetic acid (a little goes a LONG way). When that runs out I'll got to muriatic.

Looking good!

 

[smoothdog]

Thanks man!

 

[Schplitter]

I would be so tempted to pull out my snorkel gear and dive in. That looks amazing! Jealous!!

Nice kirk! Did you get a housing?

 

[smoothdog]

Nope, picked up a little Nikon Coolpix AW100. Waterproof, shockproof. Those shots were done just sticking my arm through the canopy door so my hand was pretty shaky. I'll have to try sometime with the whole canopy lifted and both hands to stabilize.

 

[Reeferhead]

sweet, they look great

 

[Emmanuel75]

Nice shoots! Amazing tank, just hope I can get mine to be even half as good as you guys!

 

[smoothdog]

Thanks!

Thanks! With all the thought and work you've been putting into it, it should turn out great!

 

[Nanook]

Those shots are really cool. Love the polyps on that first acro.

 

[smoothdog]

Thanks Nook, that's ORA Joe the Coral. Let me know if you want some.
