Got some great flow there!

Does look like there is some precipitation inside the dome though.

 

[ReefingBuddha]

great pictures, that housing is great.

If you do have some problems with precipitation, those silicon bead packets you get in some packaging work well to suck up extra moisture. The only place that I know sells them in bulk is a underwater camera storage as its good to keep at least 1 in the housing.

Nice!

oops. double post tap.

 

[dillagas]

Craziness........That is so sweet. I cant wait to see this thing stocked and grown out in years..........

 

[jnarowe]

maybe just bubbles adhered to the outside though. hard to tell.

 

[jgs107]

completely awesome.i love the webcam idea.now lets see a video of the water movement.

 

[Aj Flip]

r u going to seed your rock with some live?

 

[Itaysworld]

Arnar - amazing set up and I love the in tank dome for the camera.

I have the 207MV Axis camera, I thought a PTZ camera wouldn't make sense outside the tank, but this makes it worthwhile.

I've really enjoyed your thread. I'm eagerly waiting to see life in there! You're one step closer!

Best, Itay.

 

[klondike4001]

I've probably missed the answer to this in the last 30+ pages, but have you listed what fish you plan to have in this setup?

 

[jbuckner]

Awesome webcam setup! I can't wait to see it from the webcam's point of view. Beautiful build you've got going!

 

[Ed Reef]

Love the webcam housing... great idea !!

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Unreal!

Does look like there is some precipitation inside the dome though.

Its all on the outside of the dome and will be gone in a day or two. The water in the tank is fresh and the dome has never been in water before so bubbles form and stick.

The webcam is great, It will be amazing when the tank is stocked.

 

[tcwayne]

i need the webcam link again

CCP webcam.

 

[Arnar]

Note that there is 20 people limit to the feed so if it's frozen try again later.

I just updated the firmware few minutes ago as well so I might have to configure it a bit. This is not the final layout of the webcam interface but just the factory default while I let you test it

 

[tcwayne]

Thanks, I just wanted to put it on my desktop so I didn't have to search through the thread everytime.
