The only time I get a limit error on the TR forum is when I try to post too many images per post. Unfortunately, I think smileys count as photos. Hang in there...

You can only use 6 images per post. Which photobucket code are you using?

Hi Carmie:


Thanks but now I'm getting "invalid file" when I copy and paste the IMG or the HTML codes from Photobucket and the Direct Link gets the "excedes forum quota by 46K" message which is actually the size of the file. Ughhhhh.

Hey Matt,

Not sure what process you are following when uploading to PB. So, this may be redundant.

When an image is uploaded to PB, the screen changes and you get your selected picture with some options, such as, return to album, save and continue, etc. Under the photo is the option, edit this image. Clicking on that opens a new window, after loading your image there are options at the top of the image. Chose "resize", when that opens you'll have the option of putting in a new size. It will have size numbers in the boxes but I resize the ones for TR to 800 x 532 and then save replacing the original.

Try that, if you haven't already.

Dick

Hi Dick:

Thanks but I am still getting "invalid file" even after I did what you said. This is the url of the file I am trying to post. Any ideas why it isn't? Double and triple ugh.

Ah ha!

So I copy and paste the url into the body of the reply NOT upload from Manage Attachments. So easy a five year old could do it but I'm 42. So there is my first acro about a month ago and it is growing, I can reallly tell (take that Solaris bashers). I will take some new shots and post them with my new found skills.

Yes!!!

When ever I see "bklynreefdude" post, I forget you are one of my Solaris customers. Sorry, must be that I'm 70 1/2 and getting forgetful.

More power to the old people please.

I'll be sending you a PM some time today.

Dick

Hi Dick:

Don't worry, you're not forgetting. Technically I am not one of your Solaris customers but you were intrumental in making my decision on the unit. I had an order going with another distrubutor and now that I look back on it I wish I had given you the business, not that there was anything wrong with the other just, well you know. I will be shopping with you more often though. The aragonite sand is great and I think you have a alk/calc and magnesium system you like a lot that I'm willing to try after my B Ionic dries up.

Matt

a little off thread

Couldn't resist. Here's my little friend from Bonaire. He's at least 7 feet if he's an inch.

OH NO!!! It is senility setting in. I had you confused with someone else in Bklyn that did buy a solaris. It's all coming back to me now.

Glad you like the AragoniteSand. We prefer and use the original unadulterated form and keep it on hand for our customers.

Yes, we have our favorite 3 part system. Ocean's Blend 2 part Cal and Alk plus their Magnesium. The three most important additives for those not using a Calc reactor. Interested reefers can find more information here - Ocean's Blend Additives.

Whoa, that's a Bad Boy Green Moray. You should start a new thread on your Bonaire trip.

Dick

Photobucket rocks!

Thanks Guys:

Here's an update of my first acro, if you look closely at the upper left you can see a couple of barrel shapes that are definately new growth! My second acro is much prettier in real life (pinkish with green tips). I am going to work on my photo skills this weekend and see if I can get a better shot. I want to add scientific names to my log. Can anyone help with those? Also requested sump pics. Doser seems to be behaving.

Matt

sump

A small explanation on what's what. Chemicals are on left hand side of cabinet, Skimmer, line from overflow, and small pump for chiller and uv circuit in first compartment of the sump to the left. First baffle flow is OVER, then return line from chiller and uv, second baffle is UNDER, third baffle is OVER, and fourth baffle is UNDER. Bio bale is spread throughout to minimize micro bubles. Compartment to the right contains the float valve (had a nice leak on the outside of the bulkhead a couple of weeks ago, yikes! it's fixed now) connect to the RO/DI pressurized tank with red tubing. The bulkhead for the return connected with vinyl tubing to the MAG 18 which sits outside the sump now. The dosing tubes also are on the right. White is Calcium, Blue is Magnesium, and Yellow is Alkalinity. If I could change anything I would have the baffles further apart. High flow doesn't have much of a chance to release any bubbles, hence the bio bale.
