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

[mseepman]

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

[lobsterboy]

looking good Rene!

[mseepman]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.
