Twin 55 gal tank build ( NEW PICTURES )

I missed when you had the webcam on but I was wondering what kind of webcam it is. is it a ip camera or just a regular one set up to that website? me and my husband want to do this when we set up our 75 and our 55.

 

Just a standard web cam you can buy at walmart or off ebay (where i got mine for 7.00 bucks ;D) and i use a free video program service called ustream.tv ,i am shore if you look there are others out there to chose from, and i use an extra computer i had laying around to plug it in to run the set up. when i had the tank on a stand setting i was using a laptop with a web cam on a cart to do the same thing .
keep checking the link i try to keep it up every day had a few bugs to work out of it today but its running smooth now.

Thats awesome, i can see it now yay!
Yea, i really didn't want to get an IP camera because they're more expensive than what i can go to wal-mart or target and get, two since we're trying to set up two tanks. What you're doing works & looks great and can't wait to see it all finished!

 

Day 19

All the crabs and snails are caught and moved, the tank is drained and tomorrow i will remove the gravel and move the tank into its new home.;D
tomorrow there will be a picture update. ;D

 

Day 20

Well today was moving day all went well ,removed all the gravel and have it in a tub with some tank water once that was done we moved and slid the tank into its new home, glad that is done. the next few steps before i add my water will be plumbing the drains back to the sump and installing a shelf above the tanks to hang my lights from, and installing the trim around the front of the tanks so that i can slide the tank up to the trim wile there still empty.
the leak test on the other 55 that i resealed went well not a drip. so all is still on track.

 

totally rad!

 

Now that is super sharp.. !!

Good Luck, Larry

 

The tank that looks the best when they are done will be mine, we combine the tanks and I will be taking pictures ;D .This has been a great experience for both of us and I have enjoyed every minute of it , but he does all the work with me supervising.:LolLolLol

 

Sounds like my mom and I. I work. She watches.

I love the look. Are you gonna put some trim around the outside on the drywall to make it look uber pretty? Or just leave it like that?

 

I like it! It's different than one long, and may just work out perfect in case of emergency. Great idea!
