Hi guys. I guess in an attempt to keep busy I finally sat down and created a website dedicated to my reef. It's my first attempt at a website, and is far from a finished product. Just wanted to solicite your inputs before I got to far into something that everyone else thought was lousy! Thanks!

Here's the link:

There can never be too many reef websites!! :) Actually, I think the design is pretty innovative and easy on the eyes. Only recommendation I would make is to get some free photo editing software at download.com, Homestead's editor reduces the physical size of the pic, but not the file size. Some of your pics take a long time to load.
Also, I can tell you how to get the frames off the bottom if you like. :) Aside from that, it looks great! Nice woodworking.
Let me know when you want to be added to the member's site list page.

Innovative? LOL! As usual Larry you are too kind. Interesting point about the pics. I went to Download.com and it came up with 400+ image editing programs. Do you have one you could recommend? Also, how do you get rid of that banner?

Did I sound like I was being nice? I guess what I meant was I like the layout and color choices.
For all Homestead users: To get rid of the frames on your pages (this is their editor that you download to your desktop):
1)Open the page in question
2)On the top left tool bar click on "page"
3)On that drop down menu choose "page bar"
4)Under "page bar position" choose "bottom, no frames".
5)Save results

I still use Homestead for posting Id pics, etc, they are one of the few now who will let you link to a pic so it can be displayed here. "leaching", I think it's called.

TB, I use L-View for photo editing. Back when I got it the thing was freeware, it was too good for that so now they sell it. You can download a demo here:

Larry,

Please go ahead and list me on the members site list page. There's still alot I plan to do with the site, but it will be fun to go ahead and list it. I'm amazed at all the visitors it's already had. If any of you doubt how many folks are lurking here, just check the counter on my web page!


Geo, Thanks for the comments!

It is pretty good.
But dude, even if it sucked, i would forgive you because that is a nice tank. I couldnt see well but it looked like you had a FIELD of shrooms.

Uh..Thanks Clown...I think.. :) There is more than a field of shrooms, it's a certifiable bumper crop. Can't trade them fast enough!

I like the pic of your leathers! It looks relly good with the shrooms. Thanks for the advise on the overflow.
