Does anyone know how to make these links into embeded photos?

mseepman 01-21-2009 05:27 PM

The best way to do that is to get a photobucket account. Although Canreef has some limited space for pictures...it fills up quickly.

Open another window and get a Photobucket account (it's free) then upload your photos (in full resolution, so larger) to your account. Once they are there, right click on one of them (full sized) and select "copy image location" , then go back to Canreef in the other window and use the little picture icon in the message window that looks like a mountain (it's yellow) for where you want the photos. Paste image location and see what you get.

Thats better. Thanks

looking good Rene!

mseepman 01-21-2009 10:33 PM

Big improvement. We're picture addicts on here and I find responses are always better when they are included.

Looking good. How are you liking the LED fixture?

marciemp 01-22-2009 02:42 AM

Thought I'd look up your tank tonight. Looks great, wow it is big!

Ha ha very funny. You know what Freud said about guys preoccupied with thoughts like that?

Frenchie 01-22-2009 08:51 PM

LOL, thanks guys.

Mseespman I love the lights, its nice not to have to worry about changing bulbs. Im not sure if the corals like the light yet, I guess time will tell. I hope they do!

Will get proper pics of everything up tonight.

Great looking tank...lots of potential once thigs start growing and filling in. Not to mention the fact that you have he cadillac of light systems in my opinion. Super blue too, which I like.

michika 01-23-2009 06:54 PM

That is one very fantastic set-up right there!

Can you tell me more about your fishroom back there? What is the tank directly behind your display on the floor? It looks like its filled with rock...is it actually a tank?

Frenchie 01-23-2009 07:01 PM

The room behind the tank is were i do all my work on the tank. It will be the only access to the tank once I finish the basement.

The tank on the lower level is the hospital tank.

There is also a 6 foot counter and a deep sink in the room.

fishytime 01-23-2009 08:20 PM

Sounds like the start of a kick butt fish room set up. Is the hospital tank the 68g that used to be my display?

Frenchie 01-23-2009 09:10 PM

No I set up a 20 gallon for the qt. The 68 had housed my fish and coral while i was setting this tank up.
