EPIC VIDEO ... I loved it!!

I love the epic battle music and movie preview style you used, I'm not gonna lie ... I'm totally gonna try something similar for my next video.

Video awesomeness aside, I love the dimensions of your tank. It looks very well thought out and you have some beautiful pieces and some very good equipment.

I'm interested in your maintenance and how difficult it is in that location. I've been thinking of an inwall tank under my stairs of the new house as well. Is it tough to reach certain areas when working in the tank?

Lol thanks.

I haven't really had to do much mainence.

Reaching the far corner of the tank is very difficult. Small ladder is necessary. But I haven't had to reach it after initially doing the aquascape

I don't do anything other than clean the filter socks and empty the skimmate locker

Which sensors did you get for your ALD?

I just ordered an APEX last week that hasn't been delivered yet, but I ordered the ALD with one under carpet sensor and one hard surface sensor

Has it saved you yet? Or are you just a worrier like me lol

Thanks guys.

I got the hard surface ones. And it hasn't had to save me yet. But have it just in case. 150 bucks is worth it

Amen to that. I never had a battery backup for my MP40's either ... last week we had a huge fire on our block and it blew up a couple Hydro Transformers. Power was only out for a few hours thankfully ... but it was the realization that it doesn't take a hurricane to wipe your power, and I ordered some backup power just in case.

With the money we invest in our tanks ... failsafes are critical

Oh ... and as promised your video inspired me to make one of my own lol ... mine however incorporates a favorite movie as opposed to being a preview for a movie haha

I also bought a water alarm at Rona for 12 dollars. If it detects water on the floor it sounds a loud alarm like a smoke detector
