Hi I am newbie, Some one from the other site reffered me to this one.
I have a 75 gallon bowfront where 7 Frontosa 4 Mori and 3 tawain reef currently reside. I have been turned on to Discuss by another friend and want to redo my tank.
Adding another tank is not an option as I have another 55 gallon with 18 Angels in it.
Oh and did I mention I have a 29 gallon saltwater biocube and a 17 gallon nano? Ah I just bought a 37 gallon tall thats sitting in my garage wating for me to figure out if I am going to kill the nano or the BC.
My kids enjoy the fish and its really something we do as a family so I look as it as a hobby that pays for itself.... (atleast thats what I tell the wife)
Glad to be here and I spent my 1st day admiring many of the beautiful setups that people have posted pics about.

To get his soccer ball, after being told for the 100th time if I aint home don't go back there, my outside Cam caught it all!
he won't be doing that again, he lied and told his mom my dog had gotten out! I giftwrapped the video and said got some popcorn?

My neighbor and I went halfsies on a system, cost about 600.00 he has 2 cams and I have the other 2, it records to a HDD and over writes itself about every 3 days, comes in very handy... if something happens we can just go rewind and see what was up. Busted 2 neighbors letting their dogs crap in the yard and we can access the cams from any internet connection, I can watch my kiddos play in the back from out of town~!

Welcome to the Box! I work around security cameras all day and have often wondered what I would see if I recorded the neighborhood.

Welcome to the box....
Not to hi-jack but you can get motion-censored ones at walmart for about $100, mulit cameras are not that much more expensive. My neighbor put one above his garage next to his motion light.

ok...I think I missed the sneakin' kid ...???
But I would love to set up a camera so I could see what kinda trouble to dogs are getting into during the day. Hmmm, wonder if you could rig an e-collar remote into it ... then not only could I see them being bad, but they could get a godsmack for it, too!
oh, Biggin' too, late... this post has officially been:threadjacked:

It was about half way through. Kid came in from the bottom left of the screen & ran around trying to get away then back out.

how do you know if the cameras actually got anything without having to watch every bit of footage?

At least they stay out where you can see them ... mine hide behind the rocks! I have to sit there for about 15 mins before they will come out and smile for the camera...(usually after being bribed with treats!)
