Yes they do but I'm not overly concerned with that. My yellow jumped and, thankfully I was home and able to get her back into the tank in sufficient time.

Deja vu all over again! Set your clox back to Ocrober '07, and there I am, eagerly awaiting my 450! Difference is:
96x36x30 vs. 120x24x36. It was only supposed to be 30" tall but the builder couldn't read my fish guy's handwriting and mistook the 30 for 36!
http://www.millcovefarm.com/Millcovereef/
Differences now vs. then? I took out the little skimmer and added a My Reef Creations MR4R. I didn't know, this was my first reef tank! That's about it! The tank now houses:
4 Yellow Tangs (4")
2 Blue Hippos (6")
1 Desjardinii (7")
1 Purple (4")
1 Clarkii (3", the female died)
1 Copperband (3")
I've been thinking about adding 15-20 of some schooling fish, ideally with little or no color, maybe Bangaii?
I've got a bit of a hair algae problem right now but here it is:

Does one type of fish you have seem to have more personality than the others?

Awesome feed Calbertbill. Do you just watch your tank from other places, (such as work)? How hard was it to set that up? I'd love to be able to see a larger portion of the tank. But it looks really cool.
Thanks for the words all. Spanko, the CBB is doing really well. I hesitate to use the word "thrive" with a species like this but it is eating a ton and seems to have no problems in my tank.
Regina, of course all the fish have a different personality. The rays are definitely my favorite and tangs act pretty similar to one another. My grouper is pretty shy. But I love the personality of the lion.... not shy at all... always swimming right out front and approaching anybody who gets close. It's kind of like a really nice, fat guy who can't move too fast.

Pretty easy, actually. Radio shack, Best Buy, B&H, most places carry Linksys security cameras (I would assume B&H Photo online might be the best price). I already had a Linksys router wired to my Cable Modem so I could WiFi the house, so I just added the camera software on my PC. The instructions which come with the camera will take you most of the way home but you'll probably need Linksys help assigning a specific address for the router to look for the camera (this process also enables you to be able to set up multiple cameras). Linksys will walk you through all the set up for something like ten bucks.
Then you'll be able to have a couple of cameras looking at your tank 24/7 and one in your hot neighbor's bedroom! You can have a different Firefox window open on each monitor and OD on voyeurism.

looks like your lion has to be the center of attention just like mine. I'm starting to think they're all like that.

Rays are doing great except my a$$hole yellow decided to jump on the glass top, break a light and flop back in the water. The ray is fine but there's a quick $70.00 for a new bulb.
