Tank after 4 months. Still got a long way to grow. Really just getting started. My tank is a mixture of what was in the 2 year old 90 gal acrylic I bought in early Sept 04 and what I have added since I got the 130 set up in early Oct 2004.
The 90 has since been converted to a cichlid tank for now.
Sorry for the over exposed tank shot. I can't seem to get it right and still fit the whole tank in the picture. The others are a few of the very over exposed items items you can't see in the tank picture. Still can't figure out how to transfer the photos straight to the thread.

Snappy,

You did everything right in your pic posts except for 1 thing.
You need to remove the ? and any numbers behind it for the actual image to post.

So your img tag would look like
http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/1481tank_007v2c.jpg

Resulting in
http://www.canreef.com/photopost/data/500/1481tank_007v2c.jpg

Just edit your post and remove those ?'s and numbers and they should all work.

Nice looking tank by the way :)

Thanks,
I wish I could get all my pics a decent size but it keeps telling me I don't have room in my account so I have to shrink them. The tank looks a little different from when you last saw it Danny. Thanks for getting the pics up for me.

I unfortunately discovered tonight one of my gobies was suicidal and took a jump to the other side of the glass. :frown: I need to seal up the back some how as that is the 4th fish I've found dried up on the carpet since Oct.

I've noticed that you have much more in the tank now than when I was there. One of the benifits of a large tank I guess, mine is pretty much full!

Thanks. I'll just keep adding stuff until it's full.
That scallop is awesome. Unfortunately it's very hard to get a good action shot with the blue electric flash going all the way accross to really show it off. The posted picture only shows a small portion of the actual flash.

Hey snappy . . . you can resize your pictures in your programs. Go to start menu (Bottom left of your pc screen). . . all programs . . acessories . . PAINT!! Then open the pic that u want to post then go to tools and resize or stretch/skew . . . then just adjust it to your likings (I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN I STARTED POSTING PICS LAST WEEK) hope you figure it out :biggrin:

I have the ability to resize with my adobe photoshop program which is how I was able to get them into the CR folder, my real problem is not having enough room in my account. I am not sure how some people get so many pics in their gallery. It will only let me have about 5-6 at a time. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how to do it properly.

Greg, when you resize the image you also need to reduce the JPEG quality for each. Then the physical size (pixels) and the file size (Kilobytes) is smaller, and you can fit more pics in your account.

If you open the file in Photoshop, choose File --> Save for Web, and then set the levels there.

For example, your tank shot in this thread is 174K (highest quality), when it should be closer to 35K (medium quality). If you exceed your account limits it's usually because of combined file size, not the number of pictures.

Thank you for the tip Al. After I get back from Mexico I will take a few new updated pics, assuming my son doesn't kill my tank while I'm gone.
