400 gallon project

No fancy photos in this update...

I was able to download a free version of "LogMeIn" and install it on the aquarium computer. Combined with my new home wifi network, this has now enabled me to access the Aquatronica remotely over the internet. I have full control over all aspects of the controller just as if I was standing there.

While I probably won't do much controlling remotely, it can certainly give me piece of mind to see the tank temp and pH are OK.

Now I'm really keen to get a webcam installed.

lol, agreed! if you get a webcam on this tank, would you post the live feed to the public (ie. us schmucks)? it would save you from being pesterd all teh time for a new fts... speaking of which, fts!

Oh, that would be a great idea, then we can bask in the glow of your tank

I've got my head around adding a webcam...but it would be only visible to me. Right now, making the camera visible to everyone is beyond my understanding. I'll try.

Bump
Haven't seen much on the new tank lately. How are things progressing?

Woke up this morning to find the Leopard wrasse in serious trouble. On his side, breathing heavily. He only lasted about 2 hours before he died.

One of those things, I suppose. All the other fish seem quite healthy and happy. He was completely fine when the lights went off the night before.

He is the first fish to die in the new tank...and it wasn't the one that I expected. I have a Pacific Blue Tang that came in a couple of days ago as a gift. He looks terrible and hasn't eaten since his arrival. I've done everything I can, but I'm positive that he isn't going to make it.

The Pacific Blue is the 2nd fish to arrive in the tank looking like skin covering bones. Both came from the best shop in town, but there really should be a "If you think you can save it...discount". The other skinny fish is going to survive and once she fills out a bit, I'll announce her on this site with her own photo.
