Hello everyone!
My site is finally up however it will be a few days before I finnish writing all the script and code for the site.
Thought the main page is up and running the links do not have pages attached to them as of now. I will post an update every time I activate a new link.
However...I will offer ALL ReefLounge.com members a 10% Discount off of ANY purchase!
So, please feel free to check the site out often for new updates.
See you there! :mrgreen:

Ok!
The forums are up and about 1/4 - 1/2 of the links are active (though the pages aren't fully finnished) so feel free to stop by.
I am also looking for both Computer savy and Aquatic Savy people to be moderators on the forums.
They cover everything from Custom Desktops and Laptops to Custom Freshwater and Saltwater Aquatics. 8)
See yall there! :mrgreen:

FLR :lol: Took me a lil thought to figure that one out.
Yes...for those of you that aren't moderators and snooping around looking at IP Addresses... :P :roll: ...This is Fiji....I just changed names to leave the past behind me with my old name...there was just WAY to much controversy with that name! :lol:
Though...I miss the # of posts I had...Thinking about resurrecting that name once more...hopefully though it won't relight any fires under anyone's butts. :mrgreen: :lol: :roll: :P

Ok...Ok...
You talked me into it Phistio.
I got your PM at like 5:30 am EST (Been up the entire night working on my site.)
So the name yall know is back...some of you will be the happy ones...others maybe not, but oh well. Hopefully though like I said...all I can do is hope resurrecting this name won't relight any fires just because this name is back in action.
It feels good to use my old name again.
NOW....PEOPLE...MY FORUMS ARE BARE AND EMPTY! CHECK THEM OUT PLEEEEEAAAASSSEEEEE! :P :mrgreen:

Hey Fiji,
Glad to see things are back on track for your website and here on ReefLounge. I wish you the best success.
Just a little critique on the website if you don't mind...
I like the layout, very easy to read and I think will navigate well. The only problem I forsee is the headers on the top left side of the entry page. I found the title links hard to read. Mabye it's just me getting old.. :) who know's...
Anyway, keep us up to date...
Cheers
Steve

Note of caution in your linkage.
I have noticed that once you navigate from the main page to say, the custom computers section and then try to navigate to the forum your links are not working.
Example:
link to the forum on the index page looks like this:
http://www.xtremecustomdesign.com/phpBB2/index.php
link to the forum while in a specific section looks like this:
http://www.xtremecustomdesign.com/ca/phpBB2/index.php
or:
http://www.xtremecustomdesign.com/cc/phpBB2/index.php
Notice the difference in the link?
I think it is because you are using what is known as a relative path name instead of a specific path name. If you change your code to match the specific path name you won't have a problem.
<a href="http://www.xtremecustomdesign.com/phpbb2">blah blah blah</a>
Not only is that a problem with the forum link, but every other link too.
Good luck with it, and nice design!

A tip for the forum...
There is a custom theme for phpbb that is called cobalt which should match the rest of your site design to a tee.
You can find it here to preview: http://styles.phpbb2.de/index.php?s=35
and here to dload: http://medieteknik.bth.se/mt00jpe/templates.php

Yea...there are a few kinks to still iron out as I am working on it non-stop. I spent the whole night working on it last night. :shock:
But the reason it is doning that is to save scripting time I just use the same pages over and just edit everything that needs to be edited.
However, until I actually test it or someone else does and informes me of the glitch...I don't know it is a problem. So thanks for the test.
The problem is the links are designed from the "index.html" and are like the following " a href="/phpBB2/index.php">Xtreme Custom Design's Forum</a "
So...when I use the "index.html" as a "ready-made" page for another part of the site...all the addresses for the links need to be changed to point to a specific folder and/or file.
It will all be taken care of by this afternoon. :wink: :mrgreen:

I have the colbat also...
Users may select it if they choose to do so. I just don't have it set to default. I currently have Colbat, Helius, and the stock subsilver templates.
:wink: Already ahead of you :P :mrgreen:

Good deal...like I said before great design. I am impressed it came along so nicely in such a short span of time. It took me a while to get mine where it is, and it still blows for the contents sake.
And I will be sure to test it all out as I have the time. Besides, I like going to new sites for test runs because not only does it help you, it helps me be more objective of my own site.

Ok I set it so that the forum doesn't require an "activation" so hopefully there wont be any problems with this "free regin" kind of signing up.
Well...anyway...you will (should) be able to post now.
Welcome to the forum! :mrgreen:
Remember...I need Moderators so if you or anyone else has a good knowledge base on the forums that I have ...I could use your help. :wink:

Newest Fish related product will be online soon! :o
Everyon that has HO Lighting knows how hot those balasts get. Well, I am currently working on a Liquid Cooling system to help you keep your ballast(s) running cooler which will save electricity and also help reduce the ammount of heat within your tank stand/room!
The specifications and photos will be posted on the website soon once I finnish the pages for the aquatics section. :D

Hey FLR,
Do you do/Will you be doing HOB refuges? or is it only custom tanks?

Anything that I can custom fabricate from Plexiglass, Acrylic, or Lexan I can and will make.
Glass is something that I am not really looking into just yet due to needing diamond bit tools which makes my start-up costs go through the roof!
So, just give me an idea of what you want on my forums and list the area in inches of room that you have...what you want it to do...things like that.
And yes...I can make it. :wink:
2nd member here. Cool site and i hope to help out a lot.
