Well Lowcel, thanks to Matt, here's a pic of my 75gal. I set it up May 23, 2004. I'm runnin' an AC 75 gal wet/dry w/ mag7, Cyclone skimmer, 2x Rio 1200's for circulation. There is somewhere between 140-150lbs. LR and 40lbs. Aragonite LS mixed DSB. I'm using a Titanium 200w heater, right now have 2 x 65w and 2 x 55w Coralife 50/50's, getting ready to upgrade lighting within the week, building a hood w/ 2 x 175w AB 10K MH's and 2 x 96w URI Super Actinic VHO's. Here's a list of my corals 1 Green Star Polyps/1 White Star Polyps/1 Mumps-Finger Leather grn/1 Blue-Stripe Shrooms 10 polyps/1 Spotted Shroom 3 polyps/ 1 Pulse Xenia, ultimately from Matt/1 Hydnophora(Horn Coral)/1 Galaxea/ 3 frags of Montipora Digitata/1 Sun Coral/1 Metallic Zoos/ 1 Yellow Polyps/ and bookoo Palythoa Button Polyps. Here are my inverts,,,2 Peppermints/2 Scarlets/1 Emerald/ 2 doz assorted hermits/ 1 doz assorted snails/1 pygmy cuke/ 1 donkey dung cuke/ 1 tuxedo urchine/ 2 hawaiian fanworms/ 2 condylactis gigantia/ 1 rose BTA/ 2 serpent stars. Here are some of my hitchhikers,,, all of the button polyps/ chitons/ 2 small white asteroids/1 green stripe mussel and another that I can't ID/1 what looks like sea squirt/ and another that looks like purple tunicates. I also have another thing that looks like a red barnacle with what looks like a snail w/ a hat coming out the top/ 1 very small-1/2" black crab ??? There is also a brown thing on one of my rocks that retracts when you blow water on it ??? I have 4 diff. types of sponges and a ton of featherdusters. Here's the fish,,, 1-4" Tomatoe Clown/ 1-4" Yellow Tang/ 1-3" Sand Sifting Gobie/ 1-2.5" Royal Gramma/ 1-2.5" 6 Line Wrasse/ 1-2" Spotted Mandarin/ 2- 3" Purple Firefish and 3x 2-3" Blue Green Chromis. My next upgrades are in this order, #1 a much larger Eco-System style sump w/ Iwaki pump, #2 Euro-Reef Skimmer, #3 A Sea Swirl or Tunze Stream(Not sure about the DSB). Getting ready to start Kalkwasser. I premix my salt a week ahead, aereate and heat after I innoculate w/ a lg cup of water from my tank. No RO/DI Yet, just tap water. I change 6 gals of water every week. Let me know what you guys think, all comments and advice welcome.[IMG]http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/1/67102mini-Reeftank_057.jpg[IMG]

Wow, looks great. I would love to be able to get my pictures to look that nice.

Only problem is that in your link you put the period after the "jpg" and it should be before.

Here it is.

Lowcel, thanks for the help. I figured out how to post a link, but was trying to put the pic in the post. I'll get it. The pic was really better than you see, when I resized it, it lost alot of quality.

You're getting there. see where you have the second "img"? At the second one you need to put a / between the [ and the img.
