MAAST top down picture box

[allan]

Big thanks to Ace and Jack for last weekends picture box tutorial.

Wanted to share some top down pics taken with the new box.

Any others put their box to use?

So let's see your top downs! :)

Looks good man!

[justahobby]

Great pics! Glad to see I didn't ruin it :D

[allan]

Thanks Eric. But they're cell phone pics. Milly is the photobug, but trying to get her to take pictures is like pulling teeth on an earthworm.

Nah dude, you did a great job. I can't even see my fingerprints.

Knew someone was gonna post this thread sooner or later can't wait to borrow my buddy Joe's box and snap some pics.

Coral looks SICK Allan !

maan, wish I could of made it to that meeting, I need one for my clam [:
lol

[Europhyllia]

That is awesome!
I am having some technical difficulties. The Weldon 16 was supposed to fill the little gap at the corner but mine is still leaking so I only have a few seconds to snap pics before water comes in.
Here's what I got though:

OMG Karin I lovvee the first one, its soo cute. :3

[allan]

Karin, I can almost hear that fish,

"hey, hey! What are you doing... I don't see no food!"

I think a modification to the box is necessary. A cowl or cover attached to the box so you can peer through and snap the picture without dealing with the lights. I had a towel draped over my head but it kept slipping off the box.

Karin, would a dab of super glue gel to the outside seem fix the leak?

[BSJF]

I don't have room to stick my head in my canopy, so no modification necessary for me - my shots will be blind ones.

Allan that scoly is sick!

I didn't have ace show me the way so forgive my poor skills.

[allan]

Clint! Dang it dude those are some awesome pics of some really sweet eyecandy. That first one had me drooling... and the second and the third and the fourth... :)

[Kristy]

That first one had me drooling... and the second and the third and the fourth... :)

Really? Because I didn't go Pavlov's dog until the fifth!

And, by the way, Allan.... that scoly is so pretty it hurts!

[allan]

I got it from Ace. I don't know, I'm okay with it but I guess I prefer my Acans and the few SPS that I have left. I changed the MH bulb two days ago and I don't think it's actually capturing the brilliant hues I had with the 20K (running 15K now).

And yes Kristy, the one on my boat.

[fishypets]

Thanks Ya'll!

Here are a few more I took a while back.

Here's my scolly but didn't have a top down box or a macro lens when this pic was taken. It's so much nicer in person

[Kristy]
