Hey Dive-

Good to see you're finally taking the first steps and you've started a journal.

I'll be watching this with interest....as Simonas says....this is where it starts to get exciting.

Hi Seffie .. will do .. iv'e got it up to 1.025 .. Purchased my live rock today 3 bits total weight 7.4kg £82 .. i think thats probably a fair price ( still can't believe i paid £82 for 3 rocks ) i have them in the tank but not in position .. i am waiting for some arylic rod to be delivered .. so the live sand is still in the bag .still that should start my cycle.

i would love to put some pics on .. but i seem to have a prob with uploading them ,,,, any advice .. as i wan't to make a weekly report on any progress . ..

I dont think you are choosing the IMG code - hover over the photo (on photobucket) the IMG code is the one at teh bottom.


Anyways, I have altered your code to show your photo for you
