    Wow I can help with something! (New myself)

    Best to resize the pictures. Are you using windows. If so right click the photo and click edit. It should open in mspaint.
    Click The Image Menu up top, then click "Stretch/skew". Under stretch Select 50 and 50 (it should say 100 and 100). Click ok. Save the picture as a new file name (save as), or just click save if you don't want a larger copy.

    Does this help?

    You can downsize pics with the phototools link in right nav. You can also upload to photobucket and link them here. Read the FAQ for more info. (link at top of forum index and bottom of right nav).

    +1 to photobucket. I found it much easier that way!

    Photo bucket was the easiest for me as well.

    there are many things about the above photo I like
    the aquascape, the coral, the fish - everything looks great

    can you start a thread in the show off your fish tank forum
    and tell us more about it
    equipement, inhabitants, some close up images etc
