My Maldivian Puddle

[Simon Garratt]

Hi ralph.

The camara i used is just a spare olympus mju1030-sw 10mp I have...Nothing special, but its pretty robust and takes a lot of abuse off me. Ive stuck it in the tank before and left it running in video mode, forgotten about it, only to find it a day later with a large black cucumber wrapped around it. to date its been bullet proof and faultless in operation. Im getting the chance to play with a go-pro wide angle camera soon, so that should proove interesting.

........................................................

Just had to rattle this one off.

My Starry Blenny pushing his luck sitting in one of the clams.

Regards to all.

Just rattled off a few shots last night.



My Radiata lion cruising for a meal. He/She has now got into the habit of coming up to the water surafce whenever i turn he pumps off to await a meal, so it makes it a bit easyer. Not one of the easyest lions to get adapted to non live foods imo but worth the effort as they are stunning. Its taken about 5 months to elicit this feeding pattern.

A few acro macro's

Australian orange Torch under actinics.

And a tri-colour Stylophora pistelata under actics.

Hope you enjoyed.

regards

Simon.

I know quite a few people have been bugging me for an update on the system just prior to it being stripped down for a rebuild.

If you have a look at these 2 pages from my site, its packed with images of the tank leading up to the strip down.
