    Sure,

    To upload photos you will look at the menu on the top left of the screen, and click on photos. Then once at the new page, at the top right of the screen you will see "Upload Photos". Click that and you are well on your way. :)

    Oh, BTW, awsome looking tank. You will be very happy with the T-5HOs

    while i'm at it i may as well post my sump which was my old tank.it is pretty basic.chaeto,a carbon pad, a cpl rocks and a hand full of ceramic ring type thigs for the copods to breed in.i'm still looking for a pc bulb in the 5000k range with an internal reflector to replace the agricultural bulb in there cause its heating my water alot.

    Great progress Ziggy - you have come a long way in last 4 mos.

    On photos, you have a couple of options.

    One is reduce their size so they can be uploaded here. Or you can get a free photobucket.com account and upload them there. Then insert the URL from photobucket in your post here, using the "insert photo" icon above.

    On your camera, turn down the resolution to 800X600 at least. You do not need the full size photo, unless you are shooting for big posters. Or do with another program if you have one.

    Good luck,

    try out, and if more questions, post back.
