Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I like your subject also.

...have been considering getting a video camera, what type are you using?

...do you have to add additional lighting to the tank during shooting or is that just done with the regular tank lights?

im glad you enjoyed the videos. I am using a Sanyo Xacti HD1010. it is full HD and goes up to 1920 x 1080. it has optical zoom up to 10x as well as digital. It requires a hi def sd memory card(HDSC). The quality of the video is better than any dvd camera in my opinion. you can also take 300frame-per-second slow mo shots (non hd) that still turn out pretty amazing. As a still shot camera it is great, has everything that I would want EXCEPT night vision mode. the 1000 model is basically the same but without the 300fps mode.

as for the lighting, these shots were all done with just the tank light fixture which is a t5 high output grow light 6700k, all 108 watts of it. and thats why the videos have such a blue-greenish tint. the camera compensates for it a little bit but has trouble when the light is so bright. its not the best lighting for pictures, but the plants like it.

the camera was a little over $600 with all of the accessories so it is a great value for a digital hd camera with optical zoom. plus it also fits into your pocket


heres some 300fps shots
