Video clips of Angel's 180.

[dakar]

Thanks to Repto for the cool idea... (not trying to one up you or anything but I couldn'tresist trying it). Shot these clips with our digi this afternoon, you can really hear the waterfall between the refuge and sump as close to 800gph is moving between them. I just spraybombed the back glass last night changing it from that light blue to black, really makes the colors 'pop'

But this gives me a change to show off a bit of all the work and many LONG days and nights Angel has put into auquscaping and tending to all the critters in our 180... She get's full credit! All I do is moving stuff around and cause things to crash.

Video clips are between 2.5 and 7.5M long... so dial up may a little choppy if you try to stream them, may be better off saving them to your machine and running them local.

Enjoy! The white lettering are links to the files.

Thank you all for such wonderful comments! Dave is being way to modest when he says it's my 180G tank. If we didn't work together so well as a team, I don't see this tank being in our house! Actually, every one of you are responsible for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! I know it's a big relief knowing that our Reef friends are right around the corner if we ever are in need of emergency help! We enjoy keeping track of all the states that we've shared our pieces, parts & livestock with, and there are quite a few critters in our tanks named after the person who sent them! It is amazing watching a tank mature! I just never thought we'd have so many of them, but you know how it is. We have to try a little of this and that, and next thing we know, we are sucked deeply into the sand & saltwater. We don't want the tank to be cluttered with coral just to say we have it, but there a few spaces that are begging for more blue! I'm on the lookout for another orange tree sponge or two...maybe three. I've got my eye on a few things! We've spent more money than we should at times, but we've all done that. No regrets here. We can always find a way to justify our purchases! :lol: Most of the money spent has been on very thought out fish that combined, grace the beauty of all the coral, and life teaming through the water. The tank is almost 2 years into maturity. We're not into coraline on the glass...just a personal preference I guess...but it's there every day to be scraped so it doesn't get to far ahead of me!! That some tough stuff! Well thanks again for your kindness and loyalty to CR!! Oh, and Honey, don't always try to give me all the credit! You know as well as I do, that it can be a labor of love! .....Angel :angel07:
