    Live Video Feed - Salt Water Reef Aquarium - Live HD on USTREAM: A live feed of our 125 gallon home salt water reef aquarium. Feel free to watch... It is a work in progress.... - glare can be bad (working on it)

    This is my tank and yes its live video practically 24/7 (unless wife decides to feed fish without something on --------- (MAKE-UP, what were you thinking? ;D)... I will be adding some HD underwater video soon

    I will post some still pictures tonight but for now I will share what I have:
    Tank 2 months old
    125 gallon
    3 150w MH
    4 96w actinics
    sand substrate
    160lbs mixed live rock (Figi and Caribbean)
    40 gallon sump
    octopus protein skimmer
    Reef keeper light
    2 Tunze 6100's and Tunze 7095 controller

    Wall and branching Frog spawn
    Branching Green Hammers
    Green Nephtea
    small zoes
    xenia coral
    green cabage
    lobophyllia
    a few small mushrooms
    couple different star polyps
    flowering pipe organ
    a couple corals I am not sure

    Yellow Tang
    Coral Beauty
    Dwarf Flame Angle
    1 Snowflake Clown
    1 chromi (only one left from when started the tank)
    2 shark nose (neon) gobies
    2 cleaner shrimp
    3 peppermint shrimp
    2 diamond back gobies
    1 pink diamond watchman goby
    4 hermits

    * branching frog spawn growing like crazy, it has 12 new heads on it that are growing

    I have a ton of assorted snails (TOO MANY??? I ordered recomended amount from reefcleaners sponsor here) - These things come out in bulk late in the evening when lights are about to go off and mostly go away when lights come on. However, they really make the night look of the aquarium unattractive... The way I have viewed it this far is: If the need exceeds the look then suck it up... If the need isnt that important, then I am going to thin them down some..

    Placement of corals and etc may be totally wrong so feel free to offer suggestions on the aquarium from the pictures and video I post..

    All I ask is to be polite and state if it is a problem or an opinion you are suggesting so I know how to consider the advice. I am new to this and still very much learning and more than appreciate your help and this forum which has proven to be invaluable.....
