New Guy!
 

Hello, im new here. Just thaught i would introduce myself. I have a 20 gallon nano reef. You better believe i will be posting pics soon!!!

Welcome to Canreef NanoReef!!

:smilecol: Welcome.....lets see them pics

Great to see another local aquarist. :biggrin:

WELCOME TO CANREEF :mrgreen:

Welcome welcome welcome! Looking forward to learning more about your setup.

Yay, another Manitoban!

Welcome!!!

Thanks!!! ok here is a little about my tank. i have a 20 gallon with 55 watt power compac (for now!) about 25 pounds of live rock, 6 different kinds of zoanthids, 2 different button polyps, a bubble tip anemone, some leathers, (toadstool, fine finger), 3 different ricordia, and 1 HUGE feather duster, and a sun coral. 2 percs, a manderin dragonette, and a 6 line wrasse, also, about 20 snails, (turbo and nisariouss) a blue starfish and a emerald crab.
No sump, just an Aquaclear 300 and a Hagen 150 powerhead with a rotating water deflector.
Thats pretty much it! i am soon going to be setting up my 90 gallon. This is going to happen in about 2 months, (if everything runs on schedual!!!)

Also, can i post pictures right here or do i have to put them on the "photo gallery"????
Thanks

How long has the 20G been setup?

Welcome to Canreef. :cool:

Nope, you can post pictures from anywhere. The photo gallery is offered to host space for photos. You are welcome to use it, but not obligated. :biggrin:

Welcome, neighbor :biggrin:

nope i cant do it!!! or do you just have to copy and paste them to the search bar??? im confused! im sorry!

I can't seem to get it to work either. I don't know whats wrong with it. The photo gallery was crabby for me last night as well. :confused:

I wonder if its because the files are .bmp and not .jpg

Anyways, I've edited your post to show it as a link so at least people can see it that way :biggrin:

thanks, am i doing it right anyway???

yes you're doing it right, it just doesn't seem to be working.

I have recently started posting pictures at Photobucket.com I have found it very easy to do (if I can do it, it has to be easy :biggrin: )

ok so hopefuly it works soon, im just wondering how to post just a picture on here that isnt a link?

Im pretty sure the forum software won't support bmp files..
Convert it to a .jpg or you will have to use links like Christy changed it to.

I'm not sure I understand what you are getting at :confused: In essence the picture has to be hosted somewhere. Then you provide a link to the picture. You can't post it on the board directly. :eek:

[quote="Go Stamps"]
The picture appears as a link when you are copying and pasting it to your post. In essence the [img] tags tell the forum software where to find it and posts it as a photo. Because (I think) your photos are uploaded as bmp instead of jpg I think the software gets confused and doesn't point it to the photo.

I think :razz:

Yeah you guys are correct, this version of the board software doesn't support imbedded .bmp format; it needs to be a .jpg format for now. When we switch over to vbulletin though, then .bmp files can be imbedded once again. (I'm not sure when exactly we are going to do the migration but let me just say it will be "RealSoonNow(tm)")

ok lets try this again!

YAY it works!!!! lol, how can i make it bigger??

double click on the thumbnail in the photogallery, the copy that link and paste it into your post :biggrin:

You linked to the thumbnail picture.. If you just deleted the "-thumb" off the end of your url it will post actual size.

I will be posting a full tank shot tonight! thanks for all the help!

i have a question, my sun coral (picture will be posted soon) loves mysis shrimp, should i be giving him a veriety??? i have blood worms, mysis, cyklopees, and krill, are these any good for him? or should i stay with what he likes?

sorry to have to do this but i need an answer, so im going to bump this up, also, how big can a picture be to post on this site??

I was hoping that someone with more experience would answer this but I'll suggest that a variety is always good. Who'd want a ham sandwich every day? :wink: I'd suggest trying a few different things, see what it likes. Definitely larger meatier items would be best (ie, don't stuff him full of brine shrimp or flake or something).

As for the photos. If you are uploading them here to the photo gallery, the maximum size is about 800x600 I think.

Christy :)

I would use the logic that a Suncoral eats whatever floats by in the wild. Therefore whatever you feed it would be fine if it consumes it. :biggrin:
As to photo size. I always resize mine to 640X480. That seems to be acceptable. :mrgreen:

great thanks!!! by the way, Shy_Koi, you dont happen to have anything to trade or sell do ya???? im always looking for somthing new!!!

here is my tank, i cant get rid of the hot spots, how can i avoid them???
Let me know what you think.

Also, as promised, here is my new sun coral on his first night, he ended up opening all the way but this is the best pic i could get.

I find tank pics work best without the flash. :biggrin:

i do too, however the tripod always mooves on me!!! also, should there be back lighting???

Yup, if you're gonna take pics of your tank, have as much lighting on as possible (tank & room). Then you will hopefully not have to use the flash on your camera. Sometimes, I have to reposition myself or my camera to get enough light.
