Looks like I am going to come to the show and have a look around. If someone want to swap pods or frags I can bring some along.

That sounds better. If you are real motivated, there may be a table available still.

Ride bailed last minute, sorry I couldn't make it. Sounds like it was a blast.

It is cool to have the nem directly under the bridge in the middle of the tank, looks like you are looking through a window.











These aren't fire/ice, anyone know what they are? Love the colours.

Fire/Ice for comparison

My chalice frags are doing incredibly well, the first one is already spoken for, the other is still available.



Picked up 9 Hippocampus Reidi to eventually setup a pony tank for a local charity where my parents work.



Lastly, my friend built me a stand for the frag tank JT Acrylics is building for me. I love the look.

Really? I don't know too much about Seahorses, but so far they are thriving. Any tips are appreciated, especially for setting up the display tank for them.

beautiful David ... wouldn't expect anything less !!

Just finished setting up the frag tank JT Custom Acrylics custom designed for me. Got it last night at 9pm and its up and running now. What a night. Thanks saltmeup for the plumbing tips early this morning.

If you can imagine it, he can build it, plus hes awesome and has great ideas! 30"x25"x15" eurobraced with a center partial overflow that has a tinted bottom, to allow recovery of bleached corals underneath. Back and underside are vinyl. Drilled and built exactly how I pictured it (but better). Can't wait for the custom 3d frag racks.

Sorry david it's really hard to see your pic, LOL damn dude amazing pics! What camra ? Lol

 

[David Caplan]

Top two are with my Olympus EM-1 (the only camera I really use). I used to use adapters and film lenses, or my metabones with Canon lenses, but I have two Olympus lenses that I absolutely love. The camera is a perfect size for my small hands, and it stabilizes really well to offset my shake. Bottom is with my phone. I also borrow a Olympus Tough TG4 from time to time for underwater convenience.

Thanks!
