Sps video

P

[Now that I know how easy it is to take video clips with a digital camera - and pieces them together with Windows Movie Maker - here is a quick look of my sps tank.

You may not want to d/l this if you are using dial-up because the file size is 4.5 mb. I could edit the video clip to make it shorter. Unfortunately, I'm using a Canon camera because it takes video in avi format. Unlike my Nikon which takes video in quicktime format. Mark built a camera box for my Nikon, otherwise the video would come out nicer under water. You'll see that the top view reflects glare from the MH light - therefore the color to sps is lost.

This is fun. I hope you enjoy it too. This way I can look back what my tank looks like - if it should crash one day due to power outage or whatever. It's been a month or so since going BB and I still like the clean look.

PS - the humming noise is from the MH ballast. I turned the pump off during the video.

[Thanks Matt! I should try using the camcorder to see if the quality would be better. digi-cam is fun but no way to zoom in and out during the shoot.]
 
[Peter, you can mute the sound track in Movie Maker. Just right click on the sound graph, and select mute. Or import some music if you like, and add it to the movie.

You are doing a nice job with your videos. Next you'll add transitions and commentary.

Watching your video was like going on a shopping trip:

"Ooh, I want that... and that one, and those over there, and that one there..." :nod: :lol:]
 
[neat video, but it doesnt do the tank justice

Gotta check it out in person if you get the chance. But make sure you have plenty of spare time because its so hard to leave.]
 
[Peter,

Beautiful tank. Marc's right, I'd feel like a kid in a candy store to see it live.

One question please. Do you have a problem with the Flame Angel (did you have any other pygmie angels?) nipping at your clams? I'm 7 weeks into a new tank (105g planned reef w/ 150 lbs live rock and 100lb live sand) with only the cleanup crew...I'm just about ready for fish... but would love clams when the tank is more mature.

Thanks for any input and fish ideas! :bow:]
 
[Jose - it depends on the fish.

Flame angel never bothers my clam.

I also have coral beauty, bi-color, and flame angel in another tank - and they don't bother my large clam there either.

Flame angel does nip at my sps, but oh well.

Check out angels in the Genicanthus. Reef safe and some (like bellus or watanabe) are very striking.]
