Thanks guys. Just uploaded a better quality video. Sorry about all the stuff floating around in the water. Just fed the fish nori. That stuff goes in and out of their system very quick.

[MENTION=1]EyeReef[/MENTION], I'm curious...Is there more pressure maintaining a reef tank in a retail/business environment due to potential customer reactions? Or is this somewhat of a myth? I get self-conscious when I have guests over and my tank is dirty. lol Not sure how everyone else feels about it...

Yes definitely! I have to usually stay late after work and come in on a Sunday to do maintenance. Keeping the glass clear of algae everyday is definitely a job in itself. There have been numerous times where I was unable to get around to it and the tank would look like the dentist's tank in finding nemo. Hah. But I wouldn't change it for the world. It's the center piece of my office and the patients love it.

Fortunately the tank is about 4 feet off the ground. So it's out of reach for the Darlas of the world hah
