Hey everybody! Are you bored with your reef tank at home and need something to do? Do you miss watching all those sports and competitions on ESPN? Well, guess What? CTARS is here to fill that missing void with the CT TANK TOUR COMPETITION! Here's the challenge. Create a video that gives a full tour of your reef aquarium- 5 minutes MAX. Video must include equipment, maintenance, chemistry, and of course biology. Upload your video and post it on the CTARS Facebook page and/or the CTARS Reef2Reef forum and collect likes. The top 3 most popular videos win gift cards to their favorite LOCAL fish store. So get those phones, filters, and mics out and make the best video. Are you like my students and need an example? FINE! Here's one of my own tank at home! Waz's Tank Tour- 40.2 Waterbox Reef Aquarium We also ask that you send me or Earl your video so we can upload it to our NEW CTARS Youtube channel.

Not nearly as good as the first video (nice job!) but I’ll take the challenge all the same! 1 take, no editing. Biocube 32 with upgrades. I have a few other tanks to shoot also; one smaller Fluval Evo 13.5 nano-reef and my Red Sea Reefer 250.

Great entry Gordon! Solid single take and I like all the automation and upgrades you have added on that tank!

I took a shot at it, "Tuttle-style", single take. Sorry for all of the "uhhhs", I'm not great with all the names, and frankly I don't even know the name of everything in my tank.

It's been running about two years now.

I need to clean up some cabling, but I've been putting it off because I want to move the Apex and drivers elsewhere.

The video was taken on a Pixel 2 with Polyp Lab orange filter. I don't have a Facebook account any longer, so I'm just posting here.

ps. I have no idea why it's in SD, but I'm not redoing it for the 50th time right now!
