The Best from Brazil - 400G SPS Tank

[Denadai]

really nice tank! The photography is also amazing. What gear are you shooting with? Top down box for some of the images?

Hi, the camera is a Canon G10. We didn´t use any kind of box in top down pics, just took the pic with the camera very close to the water surface, the space above us was open to take pics....see the pic below

Excellent!
We all definitely want to hear about your techniques, what additives if any you use, lighting so far looks like metal halides and possibly VHO's.
Give more DETAILS please!!!
Muy bonito!!! (Very Beautiful!!!)

Very nice tank. I love the mixture of colors. However, does this make anyone else a bit nervous? :eek1:
