New 650g tank! Yeah baby

flamehawk2 · 10/21/2019, 08:29 PM

My new custom semi reef 650g main tank w/200g sump including refugium is in process!

Plan on lots of live rock and some very hardy, mostly hard corals. Will try some mushrooms, zoo’s and 2/3 Rose bubble anemone’s. The stars of the tank will be the fish.....marbled cat shark, emperor angel, scribbled angel, 3 yellow tangs, hippo blue tang, powder blue tang, purple tang, flame angel, coral beauty angel, flame hawk, 4 tank raised percs/ocellaris, 10 neon gobies.

Open to commentary and suggestions. Thx

Live rock from Tampa Bay Saltwater and embrace the hitchhikers that come with it would be cool..

I went from a 180 to a 310, a 650 will be a monster!

Rock beauty are too sensitive, have low survival rates and need lots of sponges to survive. IN my opinion better left in the ocean....

JP,

It took me a little time and a few tries to figure it out, but here is what I do.......

1: Take the photo you want to post, use "Paint" to change the size to 1000 pixels. This allows the entire picture to be seen. I created a folder that I put all of my "Posted" photos in so I don't mess with the originals.
2: In the ribbon at the very top of this page, click on the "My RC" button.
3: On the left side, there is a link that says "Photos and Albums" or something close to that.
4: Click on the "Upload" button and upload the photo you want.
5: After you upload the picture, there are two lines of code. click on the one that says "Picture URL" and hit "Control C" to copy the link.
6: Navigate to the "Post" where you want to put it. In the "Quick Reply" box at the bottom of the post, type what ever text you want and then hit the "Enter Button" to give you a couple of blank lines between the text and the photo.
7: Hit the little "Picture Icon" in the small ribbon above the message text box.
8: A small window will appear. Hit the delete button to clean the text in the cell. Then hit the "Control V" to past the picture URL that you copied from your picture album.
9: Then hit the "Post Quick Reply" button and it should appear.

I am doing this from memory and it took me a few tries before I figured it out, but it works pretty well.

Hope this helps.
