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?

Ya, sounds like that'd probably work fine. Get one with a flat bottom so it doesn't hold air bubbles.

We purchased our acrylic box for taking pics from a company in the US called Drs. Foster and Smith.

I use an acrylic box for all my top down shots. If I didn't use it I'd always be fighting the glare. They work perfect to break the surface.

Hi Keri,

That's exactly the one we purchased, it works great for viewing corals and taking photographs.
