Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

nope I didn't change a thing. I think from my initial video everything looked quite low. The 2nd video showed more depth an angles. Next I am gonna install cameras on the fishes heads to give more of a fish eye view of the tank.

UPDATE:

Today I bought a Flame Angel, a Fire Shrimp, and a Frogspawn. I am in the acclimation process right now.

Hahaha! Yote made a funny.

Congrats on the new additions Alto. Look forward to hearing about them. Since it doesn't look like we'll be seeing them .

Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

Ok if you had the decision to either buy a camera or buy fish/corals which one would you chose? Exactly!

I also just put an order for some 36" Nova Extreme Pro T5HO lights that are costing me about $300. So it was an expensive day.

Re: Altohombre's 46 Gallon Showcase Showdown!

Keep going with the livestock. I have borrowed a camera before, but I do not know any reef keepers off hand who loan out their livestock. A little at a time, all the time, even if you have to buy another tank to keep it all in. Cameras do not grow, do not produce others of themselves and are not the purpose of reefing. I do not own a camera and have no future plans for buying one. Even if I did it would be a video camera, not a still camera. Polyps moving in the currents, yeah, that would be nice.
