    Here's a few pics I took using the IVS Portal that I picked up at MACNA.   These were taken with a point & shoot (Canon Powershot SX230)
    I'm sure I could get better pictures if I understood how to use the manual settings on the camera better.   The Portal really allows you to get in close.

    Those are very awesome shots. Wish they made a "mini" portal though. I think the "one size fits all" ones are just too big for my nano!

    I talked to the guy and said, man I could discover some stuff I don't want to see with one of these. He said may people have used these to see red bugs/flatworms and many other pests they didn't know they had! Its just a great product to use in many ways.

    We talked about getting one at MACNA but decided not to since the portal would be super large in my tank. Now wish I would have, seeing them pics, it might of been worth it.
