180G Home Video Look Inside =)

Got a new camera and started taking videos recently. Anyhow a bit shakey but thought I would share and see what other people think of my tank.

Just goes to show that non-sps tanks can be as beautiful if not more than sps ones. Love the constant motion of the corals and fish. Great tank. There is definately something to be said for the looks and tranquility of softies and LPS as the sway in the current.

Thanks!

His name is "Jim Moorishon" when I picked him up at the store he was actually pretty thin and I was worried that he might not eat as I know its really tough to get them to eat in captivity. For the first 2 days he did not eat a thing and on the 3rd day he ate without issues. Frozen brines/mysis some flakes and pebbles does not matter what I feed him he chows it all down.
I have had him for about 1 year now and he has one of the biggest appetites in my tank =)

+1 on the Moorish Idol. Can you give us some details on your support systems/dosing routines please? That is one of the most visually pleasing tanks I have ever seen. Well done!!
