Video of my tank

mystic7 · 01/20/2007, 07:55 AM

Just got a new camcorder and of course the first thing I did was shoot my tank. Have a look if you're interested.

Also while I'm at it, my son, who is mentally handicapped just had me put up a video of him thumb wrestling with himself. If any of you could do me a small favor and click on this link so that it shows up as a "view", I'd really appreciate it. He'd get a thrill knowing people are watching his video. You only have to watch 2 or 3 seconds worth. Thanks either way. Here's the link:

Thanks everybody! My son is thrilled that so many people have viewed the video, 63 as of this writing

As for the tank, the rock looks like a solid wall but it actually has a series of caves behind it, all accessible from various spots, but that one spot is everybody's favorite entry and exit point.

Thanks for the comps, and thanks for making my kid smile. Much appreciated!

Oh, sorry, tktodd. The tank is a 180 gallon

Tell him, good job...he does a better job commentating than the guys on tv. I would have lost money...my bet was on Sir Serpent.

wow the vid is great (and so is that angel!), making me jealous. How old is the tank? And that match was awsome as well, beautiful editing, so much so that I had to watch part 2.

Wow! Thank you all! He's beside himself with joy. 135 views so far plus people are going to the other video too. I can't tell you how grateful I am!

As for the tank, ricanboy57, it's been up for 13 months now. The camcorder is a Sony something something DCR-80. I shot that right out of the box, at night, and the camera defaulted to manual, and I didn't realize it, so I didn't make any exposure adjustments or white balance. One day this week I'll do another shoot with the proper settings and if the results are perceivably different I'll post it.

Thanks again, everyone!

I went out and bought the smallest tank and a fish at the same time. Now I'm kicking myself wondering how could I have been so stupid. But I'm hooked now.
