Most of the time they move too fast to take their pics, but I got 'em this time! Now I don't know how to post pictures here :cry:

i use photobucket.com, as i was capable of sussing it out :)

you need to register, then remember where you saved your files to. there are some blank boxes with "browse" buttons next to them , and you can put your file names there. when they have uploaded, you can see the photo and several options underneath. copy the IMG code over to here. i hope that made some sort of sense!

Awww, sweet sids :D and nice plant growth and cory too :D

i thin k on the second and third photos, youare missing a little bit of text. at the start you are missing an [ and an I.

click on preview next to the submit button to check you have done it right - i quite often need too. then i can see if i clicked on Img too many or not enough times

Hi Mick,
That's a regular 55G with the standard hood/light, a strip on each side, tank center brace supporting the hoods, with a standard bulbs rated at 9325K. The tanks been running for less than 3 months. I have a large anubia that blooms, willow leaf hygro that constantly grows out of the water, and crypts as you can see that are growing thick and lush. No CO2, just started adding a few plant food root tabs and the tank is growing like mad. Lights are on from 5AM (so that I can feed the baby sids before I leave for work) until 10pm. Rarely any algae, two 50% water changes/week. People say you can't grow nice plants under standard bulbs......not true!! You just can't grow plants that require high light.

Great sids and a nice looking tank :D How many sids do you have in total?
Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

There are 35 sids in that tank, it's a 55G, along with six adult albino cories and a few of their offspring. For some reason it is difficult for me to get a whole tank shot to turn out. It is heavily planted with two pieces of driftwood and rocks scattered about under the plants. They seem to love it! I also have 6 adults sids in my 72G discus tank.
