!?!?!?!?!? THATS FREAKIN AWSOME! How does that work?? Do the people have a light with them making them glow or is it them glowing from the moonlight or something???????? SO COOL ------------- "The early bird might get the worm, but only the second mouse gets the cheese." |

From the look of the rocks, someone is using an actinic light. Looks awesome! |

Remind me to take an actinic light next time I do a night dive! Thanks for sharing! It's quite an impressive video. ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=53856&title=annes-65g-rsm-reef" rel="nofollow - RSM 250 Reef |

For those of you who missed Adam's great lecture on fluorescence, this is what happens when you shine a blue light on corals. If you were to turn all the lights off in your house and tank, then use nothing but a strong blue light, this is about what you'd see...minus a yellow filter. I'll leave lighting science to them...they obviously have it down: %20" rel="nofollow - http://www.firedivegear.com/science/ The company offers scuba masks with filters and flashlights (torches for you divers out there.) Mask inserts are only $20-30...I think I know what I'm asking for for Christmas!! ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

Sorry...got excited...now I'm dying to go diving again with some new gear... Here's an article from 1999 on photographing fluorescent corals. It's kinda outdated (discusses film), but it's interesting nonetheless. http://www.jackandsuedrafahl.com/magazines/skindiver/pdf/1999%2004%20Photographing%20Flourescent%20Corals.pdf" rel="nofollow - http://www.jackandsuedrafahl.com/magazines/skindiver/pdf/1999%2004%20Photographing%20Flourescent%20Corals.pdf And...wow...the ultimate resource on the topic...where to buy, what to buy, how to make, videos, you name it...on fluorescence. %20" rel="nofollow - http://guest.engelschall.com/~sb/fluo-diving/#Products ------------- www.reefdup.com Diving since 2009, reefkeeping since 2007, & fishkeeping since 1987 200g, 75g, & 15g Systems PADI Advanced Open Water |

| I love watching my tank after the light goes out and the blue light is on.... I can't not justify it with pictures but in real life it looks awesome! |
