Great updates!!!

You have salt! Congrats! :D

I must say thats one heckuva Christmas card there, and yes I would definently use it! :lol:

Keep up the great work man!
 
TY,

A couple of camera questios

I've noticed that the camera is wobbling around a bit now - have you suspended it differently?

how come sometimes it seems to be in black and white and others colour ?

and was the large version eating up too much bandwidth ?
 
Agree. I don't have a good feeling about them and they didn't glue very well either.

All it takes is a pinhole leak and the air can get sucked in. An easy fix is to use a fine hobby brush or Qtip to paint on glue around the parts where the pipe and fittings meet. The vacuum created by the pump will suck the glue in. It might take a few coats. I had to do this recently after I did a quick and sloppy plumbing job for a temporary holding system I setup.

FWIW I personally doubt it could be cavitation with a low RPM pump.

Why are you spending all this time and money on building a fish tank instead of fixing the lag?


hahahahahahahah! maybe more than 1 guy works there....:p

BTW this is not the place to come when you have an axe to grind:bum: :D
 
This is a great thread.

I am just wondering if the cost is at least $100 to $200 a gallon without livestocks?

If you can install a webcam on the outside of the tank will be great, like on a rail or something so that we can move it around the length of the tank.

Something like they use in the olympics to follow the track and field athletes.

That would be like heaven on earth.

:)

Hi everybody. First post here.
I'm a player of Eve Online. I came here some time ago, out of curiosity.
I've never owned an aquarium, but I used to drool in front of my friend's one. Those were usually freshwater, cold aquariums, but I loved how those looked.
I always thought that the main item in an aquarium was the fish, but I've discovered reading these forums that that's not always true :D
I must say that now I'm totally hooked to the reef aquariums.
I can't have an aquarium now, since I live in a very small apartment, but I'm reading more and more about reef tanks in order to have one in the future.

To Arnar: you're doing a great job!
I'm certainly very anxious to see how things go, and the cam is really helping (besides, is damn funny :D )

It's curious. Before I enter a community, my first approach is to read a lot, lurk and try to learn as much as possible. I did that before getting myself into Eve Online, and I'm doing the same here...

So, I hope you don't mind if I keep reading about your wonderful and complex hobby. Maybe someday in the not so distant future I'll need to ask a question or two for my own reef tank... :)

Welcome. Yes, research, research, research, then when you're done with that research some more. It will not only save you headaches as you start your tank, but save you money avoiding mistakes.

If you don't research, I'm sending my Ogre II's after ya ;)
 
The tank is not cycled yet so I'm not adding anything until the measurements are down to acceptable levels ;)
 
Its interesting because playing EVE is alot like starting a SW tank. Both have very high learning curves if you don't want to crash and burn in the first few weeks. Eve is to WoW kind of like a SW tank is to fresh water...

A couple of years ago there was an idea to let some variables from the old reef affect Eve in a way so players would have an known outside force influencing the game in a way they have no control over.

If they choose to do so now this would be the most powerful reeftank in the universe since EVE has serveral hundred thousands of players.
