John W Kelly Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Just thought I would share this in case someone else was thinking of making one (or buying one). Thanks Phil for blazing the trail. I made a 20" x 10" x 4" photarium the other day for taking macro photos of fish. I went to PolyFab here in Springfield and got a 2ft x 2ft piece of 1/4" acrylic for $25. They also threw in a partially used tube of Weld-On for putting it together (Thanks PolyFab!). It took just a little over 2 hours to make. I might add a carrying strap of some kind, so if you see some guy in waders with a big hat, a big backpack, a fly rod, and an aquarium slung over his shoulder, that's me! I'll post more pics once I get some fish in it. trythisonemv, bs1827, Ham and 2 others 5
trythisonemv Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Nice work John! you had talked about doing this so I'm glad you got to get it done.
John W Kelly Posted October 5, 2015 Author Posted October 5, 2015 Had a chance to try out the photarium on Saturday. Should have thought to bring a towel to wipe the water off of the outside...maybe an aquarium brush for the micro bubbles on the inside too. Looks like this guy had been caught before. Some abstract macro photos with color heightened. BilletHead, Phil Lilley, Ccox1982 and 1 other 4
