    I can already tell you I HATE this forum, and its unfriendliness. Why is it so difficult to POST PICTURES!

    Nice tank! Looks great! I know others have had problems getting pics on here, I think there is a forum on here about how to post pics on the site.

    Those overflows are a little different then most... My fault when buying the tank. Oh wells, there's always the next tank!

    I plan on gluing some zoos to those overflows so they mask them /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif I think this would look pretty cool /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif

    Tank looks good Mike!! I would not worry about the pvc, coraline will grow over them in time. although zoos would be cool.

    There's a much easier way. You know how you post the IMG code on every other forum? On this one it's exactly the same, you just copy & paste the HTML code right below that one. You copied the direct link. This site uses HTML. You can copy/paste anything into the quick reply section, but it you go through 'add reply' or start a new thread, you have to switch the HTML tab on the bottom to paste anything. Yeah it's a pain but you get used to it. You don't have to pay to get full feature, nothing on the site changes with membership, except that you have access to the member forums.

    Too bad it split when it was going through some tough times... When it was fully intact, it looked absolutely amazing!

    I had the trumpet and the giant frogspawn on the sand. Know and behold that my 175 watt MH aren't enough so I had to move them up..
