Very nice to see an LED tank in all its glory.

wow, that's a really clean and impressive build. The corals looked so healthy and good color.

Haksar..... when I see this tank...really want to switch to LEDs.... but 1200Watt MH cast me only 18US$ each month....

Love this tank.... really very beautiful..... :thumbsup:

And they're growing so darn fast too, I think I'm out of space for them to grow in a few more months.. :lol:

That's pretty good rate you've got there, you're getting about $0.05/kwh?

But if you count the bulb changes ($50-80 per bulb, and you've 3x 400w I suppose) every 6-9 months, it adds up

Speachless!!!! Your videos are breath taking! What an amazing tank!!!!

Thanks Jesse

 

[Chris Lakies]

Wow very nice!!

Your tank is awesome!

On the picture, I can not see the color separation of the light cause by various LED colors compare to your video, where you can see it easly!

Why?

Howard,
Finally, I got a chance to watch your latest macro HD video. Awesome! Now I can actually see the simmering effect on the tank. I just love it. You also have very nice PE that move with the current. Did you take a lot of movies before you got it right?:beer:

Thanks.

What you saw was the shimmering effect, since I've used 4x red bulb it became even more visible. The shimmering effect isn't very visible in a photo because it captured 1/200 of a second, whereas a video will continue to capture 30 frames a second.

I've since then swapped those 4 red bulbs out, and will be taking another video soon, the shimmering effect is still there but without the red hue it'll be less visible.

It took a few tries to get it right

But I also find my DSLR compresses the video too much so it loses some quality, I'll try to play with the settings next time.

Howard, it is seeing a tank like yours that inspires me to stay in this hobby. I hope one day my tank will be closer to be like yours. Thanks for the awesome tank video.

You need to stop providing us with drugs, its very addicting

Howard,
Gorgeous! Please explain ' ZEOSpur2'ed' which is part of the title. Maybe I have missed something.

Thanks Simon, mine is really nothing when compared to Andrew's and Bonbon's.

Haha after reading your comment and Simon's comment, he's basically asking for more drugs :lolspin:

Howard,
Gorgeous! Please explain ' ZEOSpur2'ed' which is part of the title. Maybe I have missed something.

I've added 2.5ml of ZEOSpur2 about 24 hours prior to taking this video, and thus you'll notice the very obvious pastel color. ZEOSpur2 is probably the trade secret of ZEOvit's success :bounce2:

 

[SimonSKL]

I watched some of Bonbon's youtube videos of his tank and they were amazing, especially his lighting set up. All I could say was WOW!

Looking better and better Howard. You know, if you keep this tank going for a while longer and it is allowed to mature fully I can see possibly the first LED TOTM. :bounce3: Your tank is one of the best cadidates for an LED TOTM.
