Here’s some eye candy for you. Recently, featured as the Featured Tank on the Zeovit Forum Wesley Vrsswijk’s SPS and LPS aquarium is a a setup most any reef aquarist would be proud of. The photos are little oversaturated but you can certainly see that the corals and fish are very healthy. Congratulations to Wesley on his beautiful setup.

Some stunning chalice corals This past weekend we were at Reef-A-Palooza Orlando and decided to drop in to see Lou, Vic and the team at World Wide Corals.  While I was looking at all of the beautiful displays and the World Wide Coral Farm I bumped into Frank Lim from Real Reef Rock.  These are a few shots that Frank and I took with our phones using a yellow filter to counteract the 20K lighting.  It’s pretty amazing how far along our camera phones have come.  If you’re ever in the Orlando area, I highly recommend stopping by their shop.  Plan to stay a while!
