    Avast Marine's top down camera portholes

    No, its just a very wide aperture causing alot of bokeh. I think I was at f/4.5 or 4.0. All of the photos were taken with the tube, and they have varying degrees background blur. I think maybe the reason the in focus vs bokeh area of the chalice macros is due to the level plain of that hump...

    Avast Marine's top down camera portholes

    Crap, I totally forgot. It was so busy on friday at the shop that I didn't even have a chance to sit down at the computer, and then didn't work on Saturday... So i'll try to get some uploaded tomorrow. :)

    Brightwell Sale! This weekend only!

    If you go with a Koralia, i'd recommend the Evo 425gal over the original Nano. I have one of the original nanos and they barely make a difference in water flow. I put a Tunze nano in mine, and man that's a heckova lota flow. lol.

    J-Ranko's 15 Gallon Rimless Nano

    I think you're thinking of the Queen Conchs.. They're the ones that get like 10-12"... Fighting conchs max out around 4", although i've never even seen one that big... And they grow pretty slowly so I think you'd get alot of use out of a little 1" one for quite a while..

    Solana / cube tank tops .. stock glass, open-top, screen or ??

    I've thought about doing that. There's an optional wood trim kit that you can buy for the solana, and you could just take out the glass and put in a panel of mesh if you wanted to. Current USA Modern Solana Wood Frame Trim Kit *also i'm still using the glass top that comes with it, although I...

    Avast Marine's top down camera portholes

    yeah I wouldn't use the longer porthole with a <55m lens. It would definately show in your image, and even at 55m prolly show some dark vignetting. Yeah the screws are LONG. Can definitely hold any size lens, from huge to micro. The only problem I came to is making sure you tighten the screws...

    MrGone's fish tank room

    Wow... When can I come over??? lol.

    Avast Marine's top down camera portholes

    Nah, its only a 90mm... The porthole is alot longer then the lens, to allow for external movement(instead of the internal focusing macros $$). and yeah, i'm sure the shorter one would work for a 60.. Only thing to watch is how far out your lens extends... The acrylic scratches really easily.

    Brie's 34gal Solana

    A much needed tank update... Still in the phases of bringing my tank back to its former glory.. Right now i'm finishing up killing the last of the bryopsis with Tech-M... Which is also helping to kill the red beard algae that has also somehow come back. There's lots of large trochus snails, a...

    Avast Marine's top down camera portholes

    I FINALLY got these for the using in the shop, after much pestering. ;) I gotta say, it makes life ALOT easier photographing corals... They're awesome!! I love the fact that they make a macro size and a normal 50mm-ish size... With the macro size you can stick a good 8" or so into the water to...
