Successful tank tour

I have a few pictures, but they are mainly "behind the scenes" photos.

I did, however, get some short videos. I am uploading them to YouTube right now. I will get rid of the background talking, rename them, and post links a little later today.

 

Yep i took pics of all but the last one i couldn't get too.
I will post later

I just had to re-upload the short videos as I tried to use YouTube's "stabilization" feature, and it really struggled with all of the stuff moving around in the water. That was after I was done with tags, descriptions, audio replacements...

I need to make some dinner (living off of the cheese and crackers from Alex's place) and then the family wants to watch a movie in the home theater.

I will post links in a few hours.

Here is a picture of Jeremy's tank.

OK. So the pork chops are on the grill, so I thought I would get the links out here. I hope these work. They are all pretty short.

Oh, and my wife loves tangs, so I took more video of David's tank for her benefit, but thought that I would post all of the videos.

Oh, and don't forget to watch them in HD. I would have edited my previous post, but too much time has passed.

Give myself a run for the best tank prize haha /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif. Thanks everybody for coming out I had a good time!

Sorry, I didn't get any at Jeremy's

 

thanks that was great wish i could have been there

 

Big thanks to everyone who made the tank tour possible. It was really helpful for me and it was nice to put faces to the names I see here.

 

The pictures don't help give a size perspective.

For example, Alex's skimmer was quite big.
David's current sump is huge, and his new sump is large too, but awesome (I should have taken a picture).
The tanks in the last picture at Casey's are two 40 gallon breeders side-by-side on the top, and a 75 gallon on the bottom.

The plumbing at Alex's and Casey's was crazy (in a cool way). David and Jeremy have the sumps right near their tanks since they are built into the wall and have rooms behind them, where Alex and Casey plumbed everthing down to their basements.

I wish I could have done something like that. I've got a 40 gallon breeder crammed under my 120 gallon RR DT. I can't have a hiden ATO, or any real storage space because of it. My tank is in my basement and there are no rooms nearby that could easily (or even difficultly) be plumbed to.

 

Great pics i took about the same ones. Lol
