New video

[gregr]

Made a new video today of shots taken at a friends store. Not my tank- this is a store display tank. My tank is almost ready for video again- got rid of the hair algae finally! I'll do an updated video of my tank soon. In the mean time, enjoy some beautiful corals.
If you'd rather, I uploaded the same video to Vimeo and it looks noticably better.

This is unbelievable video eye candy. Thanks so much for sharing, Greg!
Glad to hear your tank is doing great and can;t wait to see it.

PS. Your links work just fine, however, I had better luck with youtube, qualitywise. Seem like it streamed much better than vimeo did in my browser, which is IE7. Picture was perfect but the music didn't play well at all, on youtube it was perfect for me.
Anyway, fantastic job!

Thanks Gene! Interesting about the performance issue- I guess youtube just has a better connection.
Lanthanum chloride is what turned the corner on my algae problem. So easy to use too. Been about 4 months now and I've seen no negatives and the corals are back to looking and growing how they're supposed to.

ps- the embedded hyperlinks only appear when the mouse is over the link, and the link isn't underlined so it's impossible to know where it is. Using the latest version of Mozilla with Windows 7.

Hi Greg,

Yes, Zach is aware of this and it should be fix in a little while. There are so many things to take care of, so we need to give him a bit more time to do all of it. ;)

I've been reading up on this, seems to work really well in reducing PO4 to zero. I'm glad it worked for you with the hair algae, and that you stuck with the tank and didn't just drain it and start anew.

;)

I understand completely. The new look to Reeflands is great imo, by the way.
As for my tank- starting over would've been such a pain and so drastic... but I was out of patience and I tried so many different things to solve the problem. I was ready to scrap it and start over when I went to the wholesaler to get a hundred or more hermit crabs. The guy who ran the wholesaler place suggested I try the LC and I'm so glad he did. What could be easier than adding a few drops to yoru sump a couple times a week? GFO feh.

Greg, great video!!!!!! I went to the you tube and it was just fine for me. Nice to know about the LC!!!!!

I know I won't get an e-mail if you reply, so I will check back in later.

[gregr]

lol- thanks Charlie. I appreciate it.

[gregr]

Links are showing up! Way to go Zach.

That's my experience exactly. I can't tell any difference in picture quality between Vimeo HD and YouTube 720pHD but for some reason the Vimeo stream is jerky, especially in the first 20 seconds or so. I'm running the latest version of IE with a 10 meg connection that usually clocks at 25 meg.

Anyway, fantastic video. Thanks, Greg!

Awesome video! youtube worked fine. thanks for sharing...im gonna watch it a few more times

[Doodaa]

Greg,

After watching your video, I'm pretty sure you know what your doing, both with reef tanks and videography. (little sarcasm there) Excellent tank and excellent video!

[gregr]

Thanks all!
There may be little or no difference in quality- the mediocre quality I was seeing on Youtube was the unfinished product-- they let you see an unfinished version and if you're paying attention... like I wasn't... you'll see the notice that says "video still being processed". So it looks like Youtube is winning the contest since they have equal quality but a faster connection.
Thanks again for the comments

ps- thanks for the sticky!

Sweet video. Thanks for posting it. I also give you mad props for the 150gal reef. Unbelievable!!!
When I grow up, I wanna be just like you. Someday...someday...

[gregr]

lol- trust me, you don't wanna be just like me
But thanks!
