Top Down Pics with Acrylic Boxes?
I'll start.
....by asking a question: who uses those acrylic boxes to take top-down photos of their corals? Sub-question: where did you get it/them? Sub-sub-question: is it a "must have"? I personally use a Nikon Coolpix 8800VR. It's got some nice features, not the least of which is Vibration Reduction. I have had moderate success so far with this camera, but would like a nice digital SLR in the future.

I wanted to take some top down pictures and thought of building my own acrylic box. I went to Industrial Plastics to buy some acrylic and they had some premade boxes (10x4x3) for $10. The size of the box worked for my camera Canon G9 although a slightly larger (10x6x4) box would be better.

Check this article out...

I wonder if it would work if you took one of those little 2.5 gallon tanks they sell at Petsmart and used that? They are like $15 I think. Might work? Yea/nea?
