SRC Member peacemaker Posted October 14, 2008 SRC Member Share Posted October 14, 2008 You can start by resizing your photos smaller so that it doesn't take so long to load your page... Since you are back at cycling, you have plenty of time to source for equipment. Just make sure that your tank is properly cycled this time before adding any life stock in. And I mean 0 ammonia 0 nitrites, which also indicates you need to get reliable test kits. Salifert is reputed to be most reliable, so go ahead and make those AM folks happy. Once your tank is ready (complete ANN cycle), add your life stock, SLOWLY. The key to successful reef keeping is lots of patience and lots of love for your life stock. I'm not sure about the space constraints of an RSM, so other people who own one might be in a better position to help you select a skimmer. I think someone is trying to sell Tunze Nano skimmer 9002, you might wanna find out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sphinx Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Oh wah have complains oredi arh?? But how to resize?? Photoshop?? Picassa?? both photoshop and picassa can do the job. if you rather have something simpler. Open the file with paint and under image select stretch and skew, under the stretch, choose between 20-30%(from the look of ur file size) for both hor/vert.(note both have to be similar otherwise result will look funny.
