gravid clown loach

[chefkeith]

Nothing new Today. I crashed early last night. Tonight's bowling night, so I probably won't have anymore pics of videos until the Saturday or Sunday. I'll check my canister filters then also.

I might have a solution to the lighting issue. I'm thinking of rope lights on a dimmer switch.

Anyone ever try that before? I guess it's worth a try.

[chefkeith]

Well that didn't work. The dimmer the light gets, the more choppy the video quality gets.

This is exciting! I spent some time the last couple of days studying webcams trying to figure out what kind to buy. What kind did you get? The videos look good.

Well the teaser trailers were great

I got the Creative Live Cam Notebook for $36 at Circuit City. I bought it on impulse and should of shopped around a little more. I could of had a way better deal for about the same quality at Kmart or Walmart.

A big problem with the webcam I got is that the cable is only about 2 ft long. Other webcam's sometimes have 6ft long cables. Problem #2 is that a good usb cable extension costs $20 to $30.

I'll probably end up getting another webcam or 2 before it's all said and done. Probably a cheap one from Walmart and probably a more expensive one that can get better quality shots with less light. I'll have to do some research to find what I want.

That's neat idea. I'll get a live streaming video at my website if I can do it for free.

Thanks chefkeith. I am also looking for something that has a long cable (using a USB cable extender) or preferably hooks directly into a network with RJ-45 cable.

Time to check the canister filters. I set up a 10 gallon dump tank that I'll just empty the dirty water into.

edit-
Live update
There are 6 canisters to check.

canister # 1- nothing but 1 MTS
canister # 2- something is moving! but what is it?... dropped canister top in q-tank.... got lucky it didn't break.... found one huge cherry shrimp.
canister # 3- nada. This one is clean.
canister # 4- nothing again. I was hoping #2 had something more in it. The intake for the filter was located right where all the loach action was earlier this week. It's very doubtful the last 2 filters have anything. I'll check them anyway.
canister # 5- zip.
canister # 6- zilcho.

I'll let the dump tank incubate for a few days before I empty it.

On another note,
I'd try to shot some more video's, but the clowns have been spending a lot of time in the caves.
