I just went in and edited your post, Oldfish, as the pics weren't quite displaying properly - hope you don't mind. It appears that the IMG tags weren't quite either side of the url.
Anyway....lovely clowns!

That's ok!

There really wasn't much wrong (so we want more photos!

). I think all that happened was that you had not quite entirely highlighted the photo-hosting url before clicking on the Img tab. So where the url began http, it looked something like ht[img]tp instead of [Img]http....etc.

I think I might know what is happening. When in photobucket it now gives you the option of copying the code to put the photo straight into a forum. So there is no need to highlight and put img tags either side of it. The 2nd pic you posted looked like this (without gaps):

[/img]
Whereas, it should read (again without the gaps):

That is really something to see, Oldfish.
Thanks so much for sharing.
I hope you'll tell us more details, like how often you maintenance it and what that involves.
Also, I'd like to see your other tanks, too.
