First time shooting there. It's quite a challenge, especially on weekends with the amount of people. A lot of their tanks are fairly murky too. Here are my favourites:

Nice shots.
Did you use a macro lens on those?
I find its better to go on a weekday less people.

Thanks!

Their reef tank is rather unimpressive. And their other salt tank was very murky.

The second pic is a closed up cold water anemone. I think that cardinal looking this is a cardinal...lol, not sure though.

lol well in all fairness, the pajama cardinal is in the only live coral tank :biggrin: so does that count as a reef tank pic?

the second pic is a closed up white spotted rose anemone.

Yeah the some of the grunts in that tank are a bit weird. They are captive bred and this generation (F3 i think by now) had a few weird solid orange colour morphs.

matt, yes the fish to the far left in that pic is a spiny pacific lumpsucker, another captive raised fish. grunt + lumpy = CUTE :biggrin:

great pics btw!

I love those sculpins. If I ever got a cold tank, I'd get one of those :D

Thanks!
