I would suggest using a site like www.photobucket.com (free) to host your pics...then you just copy and paste the whateverthenameoftheimageis[IMG] into your thread and the image shows up after you post the thread.

You can also use a site called [url=http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm]http://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm[/url] to download a free image editor.

those are the two products that I use..both very easy and better than that....FREE!!

You can also use the attachment feature when you make a post. It limits the size some but still works pretty good.

Very Nice your water cleared up nicely : now let it cycle for a while test test and test
you will test for the following
Ammonia
NitrIte
NitrAte your cycle will look like this ;
Ammonia will rise then start to fall you want this at 0 before adding anything
NitrIte will rise then start to fall you want this at 0 before adding anything
NitrAe will rise then start to fall this is one that you will want to keep under 20 this can be done with light feedings and water changes
the cycle can last any where from 2-8 weeks so be patient :mrgreen:

How do i kno if my live rock is actually LIVE? it looks pretty dead to me and everything in it looks dead :shock:

Fly, it is going to look like that for awhile. When we say 'live' it is more in terms of bacteria. This isn't something that you are going to see persay, but its the building block to the reef you are recreating. There is no rule of thumb as to what you are going to see first, every tank is different. Sometimes it pods, sometimes its algea, we're just playing the waiting game to see what YOUR tank is going to show you first.

Did you get that rock at Petco? It looks like the Walt Smith that they sell there.

Good start...sounds like you got a ton of help from Sadie and Jennie.
