Show your top down

I've always liked taking pictures of my tank with the pumps off from above the water looking down.
Anyways I thought it'd be a fun thread and a different way to see people's tanks

So; show me your top down

Here's an overall of my 24 nano


and a close up :)

I gotta admit I was shooting for a catchy one liner to get some attentiont for the thread :)

Yeah its a montipora or monticap, they come as plating or encrusting and this one in particular is an a plating type. In my tank it looks more orange, but it comes out kind of redish in pictures.

Looking sweet aqua knight! I like your zoas

And yes Meowzy it does require either tiliting your lights away to avoid over exposing the picture by reflection, and or turning your pumps and Koralia's off. Mines probably a bit simpler to do that than yours I bet. I just flipped my surge switch for about 30 seconds, then flipped it back on.

I was thinking the same thing and I bet mine looks like that from the top. I will have to work on taking a picture.
