Gina!!! Scott told me on Saturday that they came from you. I didn't know. So THANK YOU!

They do indeed seem pretty happy with LOTS of elbow (fin) room. I'm thinking of getting three more, so I have five, and have a school of anthias and a school of chromis. They're really pretty under these Solaris lights.

I DID get the camera today. The battery is charging but the lights are out now. We had to clean up the basement so we have room for the new couch and love seat, which is coming tomorrow. Ahhhhh, finally a place to sit, relax, and enjoy the tiny view into the ocean.

Brooks, come on down anytime! But NOT a WORD about the decorations that I have in the theater room.

YAY!!! You DID say that camera goes underwter, right??? Dare I hope...??

Sorry I'm late on the return, nice sizes on the sumps Terry. The camera sounds like fun. I know about the tank causing issues. At work I'm always doing something with ours, and if I'm not actually doing something then I'm just watching.

I can't wait to see some killer pictures of the Anthias and Chromis chillin together.

I actually had three of them to begin with but one night I was vacumming off the rock and one came up and quickly got sucked into the hose! Yikes, we cut the power off and had to cut the hose to get him out. He lived for probably an hour after. I felt so bad. After that I kept my finger tip just under the end of the hose when cleaning.

OK! A small video showing the fish swimming.

A small, shaky video IN the water on the right side:

Enjoy!

Great videos Terry! Those fish are so happy to have so much room to stretch out!

AQTCJAK · 05-21-2008, 07:52 PM

Agreed very nice work terry

Craig Manoukian · 05-21-2008, 08:45 PM

Terry UW photog is the bomb! Fish look way happy and no aggression noted, tons of swim room!

brooks93 · 05-21-2008, 08:52 PM

Terry why does the solaris on the right look so much brighter then the one on the left?

tbittner · 05-21-2008, 09:02 PM

Thanks Scott, Jack, Craig.

Brooks, the lights aren't exactly on the same time schedule, they're different by about a minute. Cloud cover is emulated on the individual lights timer. And it also could be that most of the rock on the right is the new rock and doesn't have any coraline growing on it yet, so it looks more bleached and looks brighter. The left side has most of the rock from the 120g.

Sometimes the left looks brighter than the right though too.

Terry great videos I really enjoyed them. I must say again for like the billioionth time that your aquascaping is very impressive.

kathywithbirds · 05-21-2008, 09:53 PM

OH MY GOD that was AWESOME

I need a cigarette now...

I have the feeling the fish are going to get very used to the UW photography... I can't wait to see one of an inquisitive fish checking out the lens!!!!
