But anyways, where in the world do you get your acans?! They look amazing! Is Salinas near the San Fransisco Bay Area?

I help out at my LFS a few days a week too, but they don't get many acans in (lords are my favs)

you took some nice shots there.
i have a waterproof camera and i stick it right in the tank for top downs and i havent really seen to many people match how clear they are. these look like the camera is in the water!
your chalice collection looks pricey btw. =) chalices dont do it for me yet lol im more of a zoa collector.

If chalice dont do it for you then you may need a new career! When you see some elite watermelons nothing can compare.. I mean, I got red hornets/devil aura/psycho melons/raptors rainbows etc etc.. all nice zoas, but dwarves in comparsion to the colors and beauty my LPS put out :)
The camera is ALMOST in the water, I killed the flow... moved my coral up into a hanging euro brace top down photo rack I built and shot away. :D

You work at ATL? Wow....
Lol yeah just started a little while ago :)
Is the "wow" a good thing?
If you come in on Sun or Mon, I'll be the short girl with dark hair who has to stand on a crate to reach the middle of the coral tank

Yes, ATL has a great name.
I may have to come in and say hi. If you see someone who looks like they belong no where near the hobby come in.. it's probably me.

I guess because (before they moved) when I was very little, the store used to be next to the grocery store my mom would go to, and I would always convince my dad to "Take me to Atlantis" while she was shopping, so I've kinda always thought of the store as a smaller, lesser-known store I guess. I remember dragging my dad around the store to look at the seahorses and sharks and clown"fishies"

I never thought at the time that I would actually ever get into the hobby, let alone work there lol

You should stop by! It'd be cool to meet someone from this forum :) The store had to cut back a little on the amount of tanks cause of the recession, but the manager is thinking of setting up LPS and SPS systems again.

I wish!

I'm surprised you actually used flash one some of your pictures, don't you get off colors or reflections?

Cool chalices/acans. Always been a fan of lords but recently been lookin at chalices. I hate how expensive they are for such small frags but they certainly do look neat as they grow. I've currently got two small chalice frags and will probably stick with only those two until I get more room.
