Best way to upload pictures to the forum

I know this is probably a widely repeating question, but I was wondering what the best (easiest lol) way to upload pictures to the forum.? I have noticed that a lot of pictures are posted through a photobucket account. This seemed like the safest bet for me, I have been meaning to get some pictures ...

Re: Adding water.

Understood. I dnt typically always add salt water just add water that will keep my salinity in same area. Sometime fresh to bring down and sometimes salty to keep the same. My skimmer pulls water and lowers levels so really that is only time I use salt water or as mentioned for acclimation. As for f...

Adding water.

This is just a general question about adding water to reef tanks. If ur salt is in desired range, let's say 1.025-1.026, and ur water is about to be irritating and drop below the rim. (Gerwin cringes at this thought, as read from previous posts). Would it be better to add fresh ro water And drop sal...

Re: Observation

It's weird how micro environments are still affected by the bigger picture. Another thing that is pretty cool is that depending on how irratic or agitated their behavior is can tell u the severity of the storm. One of my friends recorded turtles nesting higher on the river bed than ever before right...

Re: Power Outages & Fish Tanks

I just went and picked one up. Although it isn't automatic to turn on when power goes out, I have trained my girlfriend on fish tank procedures and believe all is well

Re: Observation

My tank seems fine. Although no native fish are present. It seems logical for the native fish to be a little uneasy. As fish or inverts of local species are adapted to acknowledge and to adjust to these signs. Pretty cool observation I would say. The real question would be what would happen if these...

Re: Midas blenny

I would agree as well. The one in the store is darker than mine. That however could be just his mood. Mine wasn't yellow until in my tank. They look similar except the edge of my blennies fins are blue
