top-down

I've been out of the hobby for a few years. I held on to a few items just in case I ever got back in. But, I don't see that day anytime in the near future and I am trying to clear out my basement a bit. So, free to the first person that can pick them up from my place. Have a 175w MH fixture...

Hi all, I got a marineland 75 gallon aquarium (48 x 18) and stand that I bought from petsmart. I am planning to drill holes on the sides for overflow and place a sump under the stand. The sump I got is a standard 20 long. The problem is the stand has a front center brace that is not allowing...

So, as a few of you know, I've been in the process of setting up a new tank for the past couple months... And, I've finally gotten to a point where I have some free time to start a build thread :) And, I have enough pics to make it interesting.. ;) So, it all started a few months back when I...

So I bought this frag under the name Red Litho (Lithophyllon), but I highly doubt it is truly a litho. However, I have been unable to figure out what it is at all. I can't find anything like it. I mean it kinda looks like a litho but the colors are nothing like anyone has ever seen or heard...

As much as I like to keep an open top for gas exchange and clear lighting, I've always found the drastic inrease in water top-offs a real PITA. I know the trend right now, especially with nanos, is to hang a pendant over an open top tank. Right now I'm trying to design a lid with my LEDs in...

Im looking to pick up a D5000. Anyone have any experience with this one or any recommendations.

I've been struggling for many months trying to improve my photography skills. One of my greatest challenges was my tank (Cadlights 39GPro) has a very slight bowfront - just enough to distort virtually every photograph. I finally picked up an acrylic top-down box (Melevs Reef) and am amazed at...

picked this up from fish doctors a while back and finally my camera let me take a good picture of it lol. yes i know i have flatworms i just got a 6 line today to help rid of that problem.

How high would you want your tank off the ground? I am asking at what height and why you like it there. I am going to use the center of the tank as the ref height because different tanks are taller then others. I would also like to know this info more for a rimless tank then a standard tank...

I was experimenting with my DIY phototube for some top-down shots and managed to get these: Close-up of Flying Saucer under actinics: No-name yellow eyes: No-name pink/plum eyes: Rainbow explosion frag:

Here is an updated pic. There are a few more pillars that need to go in. This is from the 36" viewing pane down the length.

Coral always looks better to me viewed "top-down" than through the glass. I've been thinking lately..If i got myself a starphire tank, would that be more like looking @ my coral top-down since the glass is so much clearer?....:unsure: mods please move to General Reef, i posted this in the wrong...

I took some mediocre pics of my Acans tonight. Curious what others have out there as well. This Acan has multiple colors. These are purplish with an orange mouth First picture is without the flash, then with the flash. It is blue-purple color. Acan Lorde (My favorite...I...

Angela's 5.5 Gallon Office Tank - Voting Starts Now! I set this tank up 4 months ago for a contest over on nano-reef.com and I thought I'd share with all the locals. It's a standard 5.5 gallon AGA with 18" 40w T5 lighting, a large HOB filter with submersible lights that serves as a fuge with...

Decided to take some low-tech top downs. Didnt use the topdown box this time, did it the old way. Turned out pretty good i think. My new 6" Maxima i scooped up this weekend
