[Grant W]

I really like this view of the corals I just dont have a good camera or a top down box but its still nice to see them top down.

Thx Jeff, the pink lemonade and the efflo are two of my favs, its too bad I blew out the borealis behind PL.

[woodnaquanut]

You both have gorgeous tanks. And your photo skills are not to shabby either!

Lookin good, what is the trick to take a top down shot without the reflection from the lights?

I don't know how Grant took his, but I use a flexi glass viewer and take the photos through it.

Thx guys, Justin, that's my Bali Tri Color its coming along nicely.

Tom, Your pics didn't show up.

Cody,I just turned off my pumps and powerheads, let things settle down a bit and held the camera real close to the waters surface. Like I said before this stuff is all new to me too.

 

[Grant W]

Tom, the pics showed up finally. Wow now I know what the guys were talking about re. Your tank. Absolutely amazing, I would have loved to have seen it then. What is the nice blue one in the second pic? You really took advantage of the height with acros all the way to the sand. Get busy slacker I want to see that again

 

[Reef Bass]

First pic is overexposed. See all the white blown out areas with no detail at all? Corals are nice though.

 

[Grant W]

Thx Ken, I'll work on that.

 

[Xx YOZER xX]

Your pictures look great sir! Bad A**!

 

[sahin]

Wow, beautiful corals. I think I've seen some of your corals on another forum. Would be great to see more photos and learn about your system.

 

[Reef Bass]

Yes, Grant, it would be great to see you up on your horse again metaphorically. Missed you at the meeting yesterday.

Sahin, I have posted some pic of Grant's corals in the photography forum. He had some real beauties.

I'm glad someone resurrected this thread, I've often heard of the infamous Grant tank, but this is above and beyond my expectations, even the after shots in the other thread are better than most "established" systems I've seen.

Grant! We need a progress thread!

I did so because I've seen some photos on another forum a few years ago now I think and always wanted to know more about his tank.

He has revamped the tank last year, I bumped that thread today asking him to post updated photos etc.

Such a beautiful tank and the guy is too modest to admit that his is amazing.
