Your right on the first part, wrong on the second. They do take a lot of time, but for the most part, it's not too bad. Testing the water in the nine tanks takes about 2 1/2 hours a week. For water changes, it takes 25 minutes to remove 50 gallons from a tank, it that another 25 minutes to replace the water. I have about 2,000 gallons in 9 displays, so doing a 10% water change takes about 4 hours to complete. Biggest pain for me is cleaning the acrylic, very time consuming. The four glass tanks are a breeze compared to the acrylic.

Everyone always asks what Goodwin9 does for a living, not sure it's any of our business really.
That's not to say I don't wonder myself and have my theories. He doesn't seem to want to say so he must be a little embarrassed about it, but he must make good money to afford all these awesome tanks. We also know he's educated and went to Kentucky University.
So I'm thinking LAWYER.
Hey Goodwin still have the Yellow Belly Hippo? Haven't seen him on your webcam yet.

I am in computer sales and service. Work a second job to support by habit. You got the school wrong, it's Kansas University.
The Yellow Belly spends most of the time in the cave on the right side of the tank. I'm not sure why he spends so much time in that cave. He does manage to come out during feeding, but then heads back in the rocks. No one harassing him that I've seen, so I can't say why.

1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click 'Tools'
3. Click 'Internet Options'
4. Click 'Security'
5. Click 'Custom Settings'
6. Go down the list to 'ActiveX'
7. Be sure all 'ActiveX' controls are 'enabled'
A suggestion:
Enabling all ActiveX controls poses a security problem. If you vising a site that has spyware hidden in an ActiveX control, it will automatically download it, and install it.
The solution?
Add the daokta reef website to a list of "Trusted Websites". Instead of allowing ActiveX controls to run for all websites, it will only run for the ones you have listed as "Trusted".
To set the dakota reef site as trusted (allowing for ActiveX controls to run), yet still preserve internet security, do the following:
1. Open Internet Explorer
2. Click 'Tools'
3. Click 'Internet Options'
4. Click 'Security Tab'
5. Click the 'Trusted Sites Icon'
6. Click the 'Sites' button directly below it
7. Uncheck 'Require Server Verification' (make sure the checkmark is removed)
8. Paste the following link into the text area http://dev.dakotareef.com
9. Press the 'Add' Button
10. Press Ok
11. Press 'Custom Level' button
12. Scroll down until you see the heading 'Download Unsigned ActiveX Controls'
13. Change it to 'Enable' and press ok
Yes it's lengthy, but this should solve most problems people are having, and yet still maintain security while on other websites.
It is not completely necessary to do steps 11-13, but it may help any bumps in the road with the dakota reef site. If you don't do steps 11-13, it will prompt you to install the ActiveX controls for your trusted sites. If you do those steps, it will automatically install ActiveX controls.
You can also use this method for any other sites that you know are trusted, like www.saltwaterfish.com

I had a Powder Blue shortly after adding fish die from ich and am waiting to make sure that the tank is free of it before I add another.
