[lestat737]

What did you use to draw up those images of the tank?

Deltec have delayed the delivery date of the tank a little saying that due to them moving offices/plant and that they haven't received the bottom glass they have to add few weeks

In other news I have been sketching a little trying to get some idea on how to arrange the rock work.

I like canyons, coves and caves and I want to have a feeling of depth and also equally amounts of sand and rock for good feng shui

That was drawn in a program called SketchUp. It's free from Google.

Get SketchUp

How much evap are you getting daily? ( If you have figured it out , I assume you are just filling it directly out of the hose so not really measuring )

You are right about that. I'm just filling it directly and It feels like a lot of evaporation. I think I will actually measure it now that you mention it...

Looking forward to more pictures of the tank and inhabitants. This is an inspiring build thread. Thanks for sharing.

Did some more video shooting. This is from my holding tank at home. Taken with a 100mm Canon 2.8 lens.

Actinics on in this one. I have another one with the MH's on the way shortly

Actinic HD video

I'm really pleased with Youtube's new HD feeds.

Shot this on my new Canon 5D Mk2 with a Canon 100mm f2.8 macrolens. This was straight from camera with no post-processing.

Holy crap! I've only just stumbled across this thread, but I have to say it is looking absolutely fantastic, I could only ever dream about having a tank like this. You truly are living the dream Arnar, MMORPG and a giant reef, what else could a (nerd like myself) guy ask for?!
Looking forward to more pics!

How are you finding the 5D mkII? I would love one but I can't afford it being a poor, unemployed graduate, so I guess I'll have to stick with my 400D for now
