Live Aquaria/Diver's Den pix

gparr · Mar 31, 2009

I had a chance to travel with SaraB this weekend to visit the Diver's Den facility in Rhinelander, WI as part of a Wisconsin club outing. The collection of corals available for purchase was amazing but, in my own sick way, the highlight of the day was being able to photograph Live Aquaria director Kevin Kohen's collection in the tanks in his office. Here are the results.

The photos turned out awesome Gary and I'm glad you were finally able to make the trip to photograph Kevin's office tanks! I still love that Cooks Island firefish!

Thanks to all. Sara, it was a great trip. I'm thinking you need to add that firefish to your collection. It was only $999 and it is absolutely beautiful.
