I also update my tank via HD video at...

http://www.youtube.com/kraylen

Subscribe if you'd like.. I got a new camera so I'll be putting up a lot of videos. When I get a faster computer I'll be updating several times a week.

[ReeferRob]

Now thats what Im talking bout!! Made pic skills!

Looks like you might have added some fish?

[Kraylen]

I'm always adding fish... My tank is seasonal when it comes to what is swimming... I get whats hot and in style and the old out of fashion stuff jumps out when it's not cool anymore. lmfao.

[igot2gats]

You got some craaazy camera skills. Sweet shots!

[Tom@HaslettMI]

Nice looking tank! Is the last shot in the first post different lighting or a different camera? Also, are there mangroves planted in there?

[Kraylen]

Different lighting and camera. First shots were with a 1.3mp Olympus and PC lighting. The last in the first post was with a 8mp Olympus... The newer shots are with a 12.1mp Canon.

New vid :)

[Sir Patrick]

Sweet video man!! That algea blennie kinda looked like godzilla from that angle and distance of the shot!! I saw him in the background, and was like- whoooo!!

[Kraylen]

That blenny has a gut so fat when it sits on the rocks the powerheads make him rock.

[jimsflies]

Kraylen- Why do you have a thumbs down icon on your thread?

Your tank looks great.

[ReeferRob]

Sweet vid bro! Did you use the Jedi Mind Trick to get that Mandrin to stay soo close to the camera!

[Sir Patrick]

Nice peice! Looks like its been growing for a while!!

[Kraylen]

I grew it from a little white thumbnail :)

[taziam10797]

I think you did an excellent job in doing your tank! Great Pics!

[thefishgirl]

Kraylen, I don't understand the "thumbs down". Your tank is awesome! You have some sweet pieces!

[MizTanks]

Whaddya mean nothing special~your tank is sweeeeeeeeet~without a sump even~very impressive!!

[Kraylen]

Thanks guys! I am never happy with my tank, it's always been a love/hate relationship with us!! :) :)

[Sir Patrick]

Bet this tank looks completely different!! Got an update??

Cant wait to see another sweet video!!

[pjr]

I like this setup! It proves one again that you don't need a sump to be successful.

[iyachtuxivm]

Very nice! looks great.
