Danny you can add your pictures by clicking on Add an Attachment when posting. Then click browse and find the pictures on your computer, this should work, good luck :D

[DANNY]

I DID THAT THE PICTURES ARE NOT IN THE RIGHT PIXELS OR FORMAT I TOOK THEM WITH A DIGITAL CAMERA .

[matrixnyc]

You have to resize them in a photo editing program like photoshop :)

[DANNY]

WELL IM AT WORK RIGHT NOW I WILL TRY THAT FROM HOME TONIGHT
DANNY

[Thorkot]

You can save(file>save as>a: drive>file name) the pictures to a floppy and type the name of the picture then type .jpg (ex. reef.jpg ) this format should work.
Sorry if you arleady know this and have tried it, just trying to help you out :D

[DANNY]

THATS COOL IVE ONLY SENT PICS THROUGH E-MAIL NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THAT. NEVER SENT TO A BOARD

[DANNY]

well im at home know and i got the pictures down to 640/480

[DANNY]

well im trying it keeps telling me the attachment is too big

[Pineapple House]

The Maximum Size is around 250k (Someone correct me if i'm wrong).

If worse comes to worse, email me the image and i'll try to get them up sometime tomorrow, although I cannot gurentee that I will be able to post them. Email is: Leathercoral85ga@aol.com

Or, if someone else has extra space on their server, and wouldn't mind to host your picture, then you can email them. I would keep trying to get your picture to come out.

[Thorkot]

Very nice tank Danny! :D Hey, can you post a pic of your sump?

[DANNY]

thank you i was hoping to here that after spending all this time trying to figure this out . i resized them too small. no i dont have a picture of my sump with me here at work but i will get one its nothing really i made it out if a 29 gal. tank had some plexy glass cut and siliconed in some baffles. but i will take a pic. and send it since you liked my tank.
danny

[DANNY]

i will also send a pic of the grow out tank i put together the stand and towers are 8 foot high and 7 foot wide with two 29 gal long acrylics refuge and sump. 950 gph mag drive. a euro reef es5 skimmer. one tank has a 250 watt 65 k mh for sps and what have you. the bottom tank with two 110 vho for low light softies and shrooms.

[Zayetsfoot]

nice tank... how long have you had it?

jason

[DANNY]

just a little over a year now.
danny

[DANNY]

hey foot i see in your tank description you also run vho.
there not in the pic but i have some sps frags ever have any? im just waiting for my grow out tanks to cycle and i will put them under the mh.
they been in the display tank now going on three weeks. the guy i traded a couple lions and a snowflake eel for told me that vho will also do sps good as long as its not a deep tank.

Danny,

I have always been told to stay away from SPS unless you have MH. My tank is deep. I could always have them higher, but I guess I was just concerned about not having MH's :roll:

[DANNY]

thats exactly what i thought also . but i see it mire and more people with vho systems and sps . like you said and that is what i did i put them a s high as i could in the tank. every day i get home i llok at them and the polyps are all out and one i have his sweeper tintakles are always out feeding. the guy that traded me for the sps i got from is a biologists. and he said they would be fine.
danny

[Pineapple House]

They will live under VHO's, but you honestly wouldn't see the briliant colors are fast growth. Instead, the color might turn a dull brown (from increased zooxanthellae), the colors might fade, and you would see extremely slow growth. I would stay away from SPS's under anything but halides.

BTW- DANNY, do you still want me to try to post your pictures? I got your email.

Graham =)

[DANNY]

thank you pineapple
and everybody else for all the compliments. not too many have seen my system and i just wanted some opinions on it. i hope the grow out system for frags does just as well im waiting on it to cycle out right now. my main tank is getting so full i figure i can frag some of the larger animals and grow them out to sale opr trade to others.

That is the beauty of this hobby, saving reefs by fraging corals!

Danny,

You have a sweet looking tank. What I was wondering however is that, is it possible to get that kind of fluorescence using PC's? I went to my LFS and looking at their tanks, only the ones with actinic VHO's truly brought out the fluorescent colors of some of the specimens. The PC actinics seem to get diluted by the daylight PC. Any help would be appreciated (from anyone for that matter). Once again, Love the tank!

Oh ya, and I am not considering SPS so no worries about halides.
Thanks!

[DANNY]

thanks mike
i had pc" on my 55 before i set up this 75 it was a amart lamp i didnt like it. it was too dull looking didnt bring out the colors. i have the 5 110 watt vho's 4 actinic white and one blue in the middle of the 4 whites and it works for me. ive had some sps frags that i traded for about 3 weeks to a month now and ive already noticed some tip growth on one. i have read alot of articles of people keeping sps under vho. i have alot of mixed corals sps, lps that are splitting and growing very good colors are great. everybody has there preference. the grow out system ive built has one 29 gal long with 220 watts of vho and the other 29 gal above it has 250 of m.h. im gona do some experimenting with the two. thanks again for the compliment.
