Fish For Life 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I must say, you probably have the coolest man-cave/office that iv ever seen. Also great work on that tank. Some really nice work you've done on the rock walls. Very impressive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spanky29ca 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 I don't think I would ever leave that room! I have two weeks until we move into my new house and I will have my own man cave as well. Just in time because I'm picking up my taxidermied pheasant and badger tomorrow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Wow! ... Nicely done, Steve. If you decide to do another video, spend a little more time on the walls and decor. I think you need more wall space, or you can't take any more pictures for the rest of your life! At least, you can't frame any more. That tank is fantastic. The fish look great in there, too. Thanks for the tour ... I am both impressed and jealous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2015 Awesome. The clarity of the video is great. Especially when your filmed the TV and through the tank glass. What are you using to film? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Been working on a way to add a realistic thunderstorm to the big tank with lightning that flashes in sync with thunder. This is the first test run using an MP3 player with storm sound fx ran in a loop wired into a device called an Apollo Jammer which DJ's use for light shows. Also has speakers plugged into the splitter of the Apollo Jammer for full sound to go along with the flashes. First bench test run Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Steve ... I've admired everything you've done, getting those tanks of your looking so good. But I have to admit, this is a little odd. I don't think there's any health benefit for the fish, is there? Of course, here in Central Florida, thunder storms are a daily occurrence through the summer months.

Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2015 Nothing odd about it It's been done before on numerous high end saltwater setups. It doesn't stay on all the time, just adds a natural realistic touch to the tank for late night viewing. Doesn't affect the fish's health in the very least.

WVUontheFLY 0 Report post Posted March 10, 2015 I am not usually a fan of african cichlids but they definitely go well in that tank. That is by far the best man cave I have ever seen!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
