    I am new (about 3 months into it) to the reef aquarium. I have a 46 bow, with 2 clowns, and a weird tang that I always forget the names to.

    Im running a 60 gph internal protein skimmer, and a 30-60 gph top box filter.


    Im excited to learn things, and help others, and make my tank great.

    Do you mean in your signature? It's possible pictures aren't allowed in our signatures. Forums often do this because they can crowd the thread.

    You could make it your avatar though which is what 2in10 did. Just click "edit profile" on the right under the action panel and then on the left click "edit avatar".
