Streaming the 220 live for the next 11 hours, until the tank lights go out:

Still using my laptop, so it is just for the day, until 9 PM EST.

I'm hoping when I finally get a tower in the basement (I would have bought a refurb, but my friend insists he has one for me) I can get a better angle, and I assume the webcam I buy will have better resolution than the one built into my webcam.

Current inhabitants:

Congo Tetras
Black Skirt Tetras
Small Bala Sharks

I just raised the laptop and moved it closer to the tank.

Ok, so we set up a computer for the fish. We figure they're old enough to be online unsupervised now.

I'll be experimenting with angle/distance from the tank. I like how it is now, but you can't see the far right hand side of the tank, where a lot of the fish hang out. The Balas tend to hang out around that big drfitwood on the left. The tetras, when they aren't swimming back and forth, tend to set up base camp on the far right, just off camera.

So with the exception of tank/computer maintenance, and when my kid skypes with his grandparents, we'll be streaming daily when the tank lights are on, which is roughly 9am to 9pm.

I made a webcam stand out of a high hat and a 2 x 4.
