2.5g Pico Video

Tigahboy · 11-18-2005, 11:17 PM

howdy! been awhile since I posted a vid.

made this one for my custom 2.5g surge pico. Made it for a 2.5g pico contest over on nano-reef.com.

I designed the tank to handle a Carlson Surge Device and a set of T5's. Anyway, here's the vid (lots of TLC went into this one):

I WANT ONE SO BAAAADDD! i've been trying to talk myself into buying an acrylic tank just so that i can keep one of those. but having 3 tanks is proving to be a chore so it'll have to wait. good music choice as well by the way.

Holy crap!

You're quite the film maker, the timing of the music,,,That tank is a work of pure genius...I was following your thread over on NR but hadn't checked it lately. I knew you were up to something good, but who could've expected a mantis surge tank.

Poor damsel....not!

/in awe..... I hope you win that contest Tigah.

great soundtrack and cut-editting to time with the music!

At first I didn't know what to think other than "what a very strange video".

Then when the song went into double time and the pistol shrimp was weilding the carcus of the damsel....BWWAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
