    This is my video entry to help out bmshehan win him a RO/DI unit. Think it would be the best gift to give him being a new father.

    Enjoy!

    WOW, great video Scott, feel like I've opened up a charity! Hope one of us wins LOL! This should teach everyone a lesson: bug someone enough and they will bend over backwards to help you out!! Thanks Otty, tank is looking great as usual!

    It took about 3 months to sink the tank in the wall and get everything ready for water but in the last year I have added a chiller for insurance and some other things so I have change the plumbing around a couple of times. Gets hard to work around only one end of the tank. :-/

    The tank is still in the infant stages and all the corals are pretty small but I wanted it that way so I could watch them grow.

    Thanks again for the complement!

    Thanks, the compression on the video from youtube makes it where you can't see my 3reef shirt on. :-/

    Thanks! I have already have an RO/DI unit and I know how it goes with a little one on the way, money gets really tight. Then again I kind a like him coming over to get water because I get to talk SW with someone that doesn't roll their eye at me.::) Kids will listen but all I get out of my 3yr old is "why, what for, why"!

    Can't forget "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy" I seem to remember that quote for some reason:p! I'll still stop by to check things out, but if I win you just have to stop by my place just as often! Funny you mentioned about the shirt, I ordered mine on Sat. so I was telling my wife how I wished I had it for the video and we came up with the shirt idea. Then the babe told us what to write on there:p!
