Wow, I love the video. EXCELLENT JOB!!!
I really enjoyed the long angle shots since the only way to see them is via the underwater camera.
Everything looks AMAAAAAAAZING. That is definitely a piece of the great barrier reef and every other reef sitting in your home.
The one thing the video needs is to have the full tank shot at the end to be much longer.
Thanks for taking the time to create a great video for us to enjoy!!!

re. V2 - Great vid! Almost worth the price of admission. 
I am assuming a GoPro was used (?). Have you tried attaching the GoPro to the end of a length of PVC? That way you could move laterally through the tank and get in amongst the coral; maybe even glimpse from behind the coral outwards.

thanks Sal, don't know why it now works with iPads, but glad it does

thank you Dave.M, I did use a GoPro and part of the video was shot with it attached to a PVC pole, however I was trying to not include the sides of tank, though sides did appear, to make it appear a little more realistic
maybe in V3 I'll take the GoPro deeper in and around the crevices to give a little different perspective
thank you vair, yes it's a constant problem, I'm always moving corals around, most tolerate each other just fine but some are a PITA :hammer:
Hi Rick, the fun part of the hobby for me is cruising the LFS's, spotting things and trying to figure out if it will do well in my tank, however I'm getting low on real estate. What I would really like to do is keep some of the fish that are not reef safe...Angels, Butterfly's, etc. and have thought about installing another tank in the wall next to this one, but I may see a Psychiatrist instead :headwalls:
those divided tanks on the wall were built using wood supports bolted to the joists in the ceiling above, however they started to lean a little so Ryan and I installed the straps for added support
Looks like they are working well, but man I would be nervous about that. I be tempted to use all thread rod and unistrut.
it's not ideal but I don't think its going anywhere :worried:
lol.
How do you clean, or do anything in those tanks? they look to be only a few inches from the ceiling?
And is that above your DT? I hung a frag tank over my sump from the ceiling. But it's no where near as impressive as your set up.
