Great video Tony, I can't believe the flow action in there, that anemone just loves it

You can improve your videos by getting a cheap tripod....

Oh, thanks a lot.
 So basically on top of the crappy brightness, contrast, saturation, composition, complete lack of a soundtrack, and horrid pixelation, you're telling me my video is shaky??? Ummm... "oh." (I honestly thought the shakiness was the least of the worst attributes of this ... oh well. I guess I'll just humbly .. um.. humbly not post any more videos.  )...I guess I'll try a tripod, I have one, I just thought maybe a video would work better than a picture because it's an insanely hard tank to get a good photo of. Chronically you end up with underexposed photos but with overexposed hotspots. Yesterday I noticed all the fish were out putting on a show so I thought maybe I'd try a video. It was my first real attempt at it, oh well, I just suck at stuff, so .. don't get your hopes too high.

Sweet video. Nice to see the Monster has his own 110G home. Makes the tank look like a Nano.

It sounded like you were sort of asking for tips, so I provided one. Don't give up though. That video is certainly more descriptive than a still photo would have been.

No worries !! I just thought it was kind of funny the way it came out. "Have you thought about using a tripod?" Sort of like "Have you thought about... having someone else try photographing your tank?"
I was laughing, really I did mean it as a sort of learning experiment though, although so far I've learnt that I think I need to buy some video editing software. And then learn how to do it. Another challenge is that with the front glass being so tall (30"), if I sit in front of the tank and take a picture (or video), the reflection of me holding the camera is pretty bad. Problem is I can't exactly turn the room lights off ... they're off already, the ambient light is coming from 3 other reef tanks  I'm half debating tearing the cube tank down and amalgating the livestock (anemone included) into my 280g. The nice thing is the 6' tank will have a wavebox and I think the wave effect will be pretty keen to see on the anemone. I've tried all kinds of flow patterns and ideas in the cube and haven't really been able to replicate the "undulating wash" effect that I've always wanted to see on this anemone.
