180 Gallon Tank Movies

Nothing Else Matters - A hi-resolution, 6 minute "Live Rock" video movie in standard windows AVI format (no special decoder needed). The download is 85 MB. I produced the movie in Windows Movie Maker. Includes sound track, zooms, fades and other transitional effects. I think it's worth the download. Includes all the short movies below as well as numerous still shots not found on the rest of the web site. Also includes growth sequences of many of the corals.


The following movies will require the DivX AVIDownload DivX Player decoder which is not part of a typical windows installation. DivX provides superior compression and image quality over standard AVI decoders.

You do not need to reboot your computer after installing the decoder.

Manually start the DivX player, click the down arrow in the upper left hand corner and select Open on drop down menu.
