Will, just a suggestion as I know you don't like the idea of batteries in you living room. Just run a power receptacle to your fish tank and have the battery backup where every you want. I plan on having a power receptacle in my garage with the other end being a power receptacle behind my fish tank to keep potentially hazardous situations from occurring. I'm not sure of the draw on the system for running 15 some odd feet, but it's worth a try.

Hey Tim,

That is a good idea. Same problem for me as the plumbing though, trying to run the lines. The wall my tank is against is an inside wall with no direct way to get there. I would have to run it up one side of the house into the attic.... across to the other side of the house and down somehow 2 floors. Would be a lot more than 15 ft. for me.

Thanks,
Will

Tank looks amazing along with the corals, I wish i could get the colors outa the coral liek you do, Im going through red bug epidemic myself however i feal it will be smarter to dose my whole tank then after the third treatment Move all my corals and rocks into the new 75. Hope mine goes as well as yours did. Loving the random pictures as well.

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your red bugs. They suck. I have to say though, asides from the killing all your invert thing

... the hardest part about the interceptor treatment is getting your hands on it. The corals really seem to actually like it. Good luck.

Don't have any new progress to report so I'll just post some pics

I've become infatuated with polyp extension....

I say add 8 x 400w and vent it to the rest of your house to suppliment your home heating

I'll give you a call tomorrow to discuss.

IridescentLily · 09/22/2008, 12:39 AM

As always, your tank is insane.
Thanks much for posting about it and updating.

an411 · 09/22/2008, 01:57 PM

Nice tank and I look the Ro/di salt water container setup. Gonna be doing something similar to that

will16 · 09/22/2008, 03:01 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words.

an411, unfortunately that is not my ro/di set up. That was marino showing me his. This is also what I am trying to do.

Sorry but no. Tank is pretty much status quo. Been pretty busy lately with everything else. Figured it was also a good time to leave the tank alone and let it settle. This is definitely the longest stretch I've gone through with out adding or changing anything. Guess that's not so bad.

Again, sorry but no. How about some of my other 'work' for a change of scenery?

marino420td · 10/22/2008, 11:49 AM

Very nice!

lhcorals · 10/22/2008, 07:19 PM

Great corals, nice set-up

MeuserReef · 10/22/2008, 07:56 PM

Your photography skills are truly remarkable. I love the B&W skyline pic. Heck... I like them ALL!

What stop did you use for the night shot on the water? F/1.8? 1.4?

OwNeD162 · 10/22/2008, 08:58 PM

Geez, no wonder your tank shots are incredible

! So is there a specific type of photography that is your 'job'?

Thank you. That night shot was taken at f/2.8 with a tilt shift lens at full tilt. It alters the focus plane and leaves a weird effect of making everything look miniature. Fun to do

Thanks! I kind of dabble in all aspects. Jack of all trades... master of none. It's really just a hobby although recently I've started getting paid gigs... weddings, studio work. It's nice to actually get something out of it. If I make enough to support my habit I'm happy

Here's some of my paparazzi work

Wow... how did this get so sidetracked?

OwNeD162 · 10/23/2008, 08:43 AM

You take some seriously good photos Will!
It's star spotting photos like that that make me wish i lived in America :P... I did notice that a few of the photos totally look like miniature models, which is seriously cool

! What type of camera do you have? I would love to get the new Canon EOS 5D MKII, but the price
