Kitchen aquarium and snail snatching – P365 Nov11

Today, the Marine Aquarium Society of Victoria (MASOV) had its monthly meeting at a new member’s place. What was special about Craig’s tank was its location – the kitchen.

Never before have we seen a tank in a kitchen, let alone one so spectacular. In addition, Craig uses a number if interesting and radically different techniques and ideas for building and filtering his tank. I won’t go into details here, but I’ll say that it was an eye-opening experience for the members, and had everyone thinking about how Craigs techniques might be adapted to their own tanks, and if it would be something worth trying.

Here’s a few pics from Craig’s tank:

After the meeting, Craig took a few of us down to his local aquarium shop where he gets his sand and snails – the beach! The number of snails here was staggering, so we didn’t feel too guilty taking a few to live in our tank. It was a beautiful day, and I enjoyed taking photos of the rock pools, and some 3D photos of the area.

Below is the full gallery of the best photos from the day. Please have a look through them all. Some of the 3D photos in particular are very cool.
