WooHoo!! Another Aquapod. Angie loves hers! We have the 150MH Sunpod on it, allowing us a lot more options for corals, than the standard light hood. Can't wait to see this one progress!!

i also got a 175 watt MH with my purchase. i just sold my other tank for 75 dollars so ill be buying a bulb. Any suggestions on websites for bulbs?

Check out some of our sponsors, here on Reef Frontiers. You'll find a lot of them supply bulbs, and either have them in stock, or can order them.

in about a month or so i will be getting the following corals,
4-5 tangarines
3 devils armor
green polyp toadstool

med flow on the the zoas
med-high flow on the toadstool
Green/orange&purple digi's are 12"-13" below 250w 20K MH with high flow
blue xenia lower lighting and medium flow
monti 15"-17" below 250w 20k MH with higher flow

You want to copy and paste the "hotlink to forums" link.

 

[noobaquariumust]

where do i paste it? in the insert photo or insert link?

 

[Krish]

You would paste it in your reply on your post. So if I wanted to add a picture here, you'd just go to imageshack, upload the picture, copy the link and just paste it here (it's forum code you want to copy not hotlinks to forum)

You don't need to use the insert photo or insert link tab. Your link from imageshack will be in a text form which once once you hit the reply tab, the text will turn to the photo.

Here's a screen shot of what that last post looked like before hitting reply. You can see the link there in the middle. Once I hit reply, the image appears.
