Ha, thanks Tony. I should have mentioned that this was really episode 4. Just wait till the prequel comes out

Thanks Ryan. Ya, it was a good time. Let me know if you ever want to get into video editing. The program I use is really good and isn't too expensive.

And the Juno for best video with a nano reef aquarium goes to... the envelope please Shania...

Sweet vid, awesome tank. Where is the intake/nozzles for the filter in the tank?

[Fish]

LOL Thanks! The plumbing is on the "ugly side" of the tank. You can see the bulkhead for the return line in my avatar. You can't make it out in the photo, but the intake bulkhead is to the right of that and is covered by a plastic screen that the rockwork is sitting on.

Update:

I have changed the nano to a species-tank for a small mantis shrimp named "Google". I removed the sexy shrimp and added some hermits and snails for food. The corals are all still doing really well and so far, Google hasn't knocked anything over ...




I will get a better picture once he works up the courage to leave his cave .

What do you think?

Hey Chad,

Awesome tank & video. What video editing software did you use? I've got a pile of home videos that I have been meaning to put together.

Cheers,

Thanks man!
I use a program called Studio8 by Pinnacle. It is quite affordable, has a ton of features, and is really easy to use. You baisically have different tracks that you drag video, music, sound effects, titles, transitions, etc onto. I think the current program is Studio0 or even 10. I bought it to do home movies with but I have probably done more fish videos than family ones ....

What do you think? I think that this little guy is the coolest thing that's ever happened to me in saltwater...

Beautiful colours on the mantis and corals Do you have a full tank shot?

[Fish]

Thanks Bev! I'm glad you like it .

I have a bunch of pictures and even a video of the tank if you click the links in my signture line. You're the second person who doesn't seem to have seen my tank before - I didn't think that Canreef was that big of a site
