Thumbs up Hello from Chicago

Hey there everyone.
Hello from Chicago.
Well actually the burbs.
I actually wanted to thank everyone for their great posts.
I have been reading this forum for well over a year now and have found it extremely helpful.
Actually for about a yr I have been to the point where I just enjoy seeing everyone's battles and how they are being overcome. I must say this sight has a wonderful group of people.

Well it is time for pay back so expect me posting often to help others out.


Thanks again

Yes I was referring to all the wonderful battles we all face from either outbreaks or from adding fish we do not know enough about :-)

As far as the tanks.
The 75 Gal Reef has a Salifin Tang, Hippo Tang, Lawn Mower Blenny, 6 line wrass, Neon Damsels (have been trying to catch for 6 months) Ocellaris Clown, Banggai Cardinal, Pseudanthias pleuropaenia anthias, Royal Gamma, a fat Green Mandarine Goby and a few cleaner shrimp.
So this tank is totally maxed out. Will be moving up to a 150 gal shortly.
For coral I have about every zoanthid I could find as well as pretty much any colorful soft coral I could get my hands on. For SPS I have a green and a purple Montipora. LPS consists of Candy coral, torch coral, a few brains, and a few varieties of Frogspawn. I am maxed out on coral also and struggle to find any spare room.

The 46 gal is an interesting FOWR consisting of and Eibli Angel, Flame, Angel, 2 sleeper gobies, yellow watchman goby, Hi Fin Red Banded Goby, randals Pistol Shrimp and 2 cleaner shrimp. Very interesting highly active tank filled with tonga live rock resulting in all kinds of swimming patterns for the angels to keep them selves busy.

Matt,
My pictures will probably be too large.
All of them were taken at full resolution 5.1 mp
I actually will have a friend host my pics next week because I have an under water marine kit for it and have some pretty sweet pictures.
Do you have any cool tools to bring down the size so I can at least post a main pic for you guys?

Do a Google search for 'photo resize' and you'll find plenty of shareware that will work.
