very pretty coral Hop.

Thanks J...

In other news, my clown has taken an interest in the anemone... it's not hosting yet, but it is checking it out

jnarowe · #**603** 12/10/2007, 06:24 PM

they play kissy face for a while as it will slowly test the nem out and get acclimated. It takes a while for the clown's slime to build up a resistance FWIU.

Damn...I have some green digi...it doesn't look like that ever...although, I don't have a macro lens either so...

By the way, I never heard from that person you passed my info along to...

Micki · #**605** 12/10/2007, 06:44 PM

It took my clowns over a year to get in the anemone. Now they never leave it!

jnarowe · #**606** 12/10/2007, 06:49 PM

a year? must be retards Micki! Holy cow, when I brought a GBTA baby over to my friend Vicki's, she popped it into a baby clown tank and they piled onto it within seconds. After about 2 minutes you couldn't see much of the anemone at all, and it was about 6"...

Micki · #**607** 12/10/2007, 06:52 PM

Yeah, mine are a little slow I guess.

I had pretty much given up on them ever goin in. After one started going in it took the other one several more months before she would go in. Goofy fish I guess.

I would have loved to see all those babies hop in that anemone! Did you make a video by any chance?

jnarowe · #**608** 12/10/2007, 07:35 PM

No, I wish I did. There were about 200 - 300 clowns in that one tank. She's a nut though. That's why I like her. Anyone that makes me look normal is A-OK with me!

Thanks for the info. The last two hours has been a blast as it went from not caring it was there, to checking it out to fully hosting and driving other fish away from it... And he is the smallest fish in the tank

This was just incredible to watch!

And I should see or at least talk to her tomorrow night.

This has been a facinating afternoon to say the least

No video

I Only have a 16 meg card on an old camera that will do video, but what the heck, maybe here in a little bit!

Oh and I wanted to add since it was a major issue before... Even without the headspace completely sealed yet... Humidity in the headspace w/o the fans running climbs to about 51%... With fans running it depends upon the weather, but the house is staying nice and cozy in the 30% range. No sweating of the windows aside from cooking and showers

Glad to hear that.

Hop, is this because you system is smaller, or, due to the partial "sealing" you have done thus far?

I think it has to do with the measures that I have taken both in the wetroom and above the tank. Even when I had just the 125 and 55 set up before I had issues with the windows, but it was not as bad as when I had the 450 up and running. So now with a 55 and a 190(300), no issues at all

Hop · #**612** 12/11/2007, 06:51 AM

Well I'm not sure this works, but what the hay

Here is a small and poor quality 10meg video of the clown beginning to host.

Clown Hosting

very nice Hop.

So it worked? Cool! I couldn't get it to load where I wanted it to which would have allowed a pop up window from here with the video...

Sparkss · #**615** 12/11/2007, 05:39 PM

great looking shots Hop...

jnarowe · #**616** 12/11/2007, 06:15 PM

it was a bit tough on the buffering but I did get to see it.

melev · #**617** 12/11/2007, 10:13 PM

I downloaded it to my harddrive first, and it played back fine. It was a tad small (I prefer a larger screen size, but that means more megs to download), but looked clean. Maybe zoom in closer so the subject fills the screen more.

Toddrtrex · #**618** 12/11/2007, 10:56 PM

And geez Hop, next time could you tape it in wide screen?

Looked really good, thanks.

Hop · #**619** 12/12/2007, 12:09 AM

Cool! Glad it worked.

Melev: It was a larger file and screen, but I didn't want to eat up that many megs with such a boring video

At some point in the future I'll do a better one, but my camera I used is horrible. it's an old Sony DCS 3.2 meg digital camera with a video option. I only have a 16 meg card for it and I couldn't zoom any more as that was all the umph it had

At 2' from the clown. Any closer and it didn't want to focus.

Sorry I don't answer individually when I'm at work, but I only have an 18.8 connection in the car and it takes forever to post

Maybe I shouldn't be driving and surfing RC at the same time...

Radicaljbr · #**620** 12/12/2007, 12:28 AM

I am sorry for being a pain and maybe you answered this already, but where did you get the electric switch panel. I want one of those.

melev · #**621** 12/12/2007, 01:53 AM

That is an American DJ power station. You can find them at Guitar Center for $30, or Ebay for a little bit less.

Hop · #**622** 12/12/2007, 06:56 AM

Thanks Melev!

Is there a problem with that?

Thank you very much

Hop · #**625** 12/12/2007, 08:48 AM

They also make a 4 switch unit. I got mine from musiciansfriend.com since I buy a lot of my guitar stuff through them, but if you call dealers on ebay, I've seen them go for as low as $15.
