i am but going to copy and past for the momet

but i am 26  new into hobby  and my build part 1

some info is wrong cause i have upgrades stugg already like ro and other things was going to be a 75  then went to 90

............

 Well i am getting ready to go from a 39 to a rr 90 tank
so i decicde it would be a good time to get an ro system and quit going to walmart
with five gallon buckets as used to hold the
i also want a place to store evey thing and have a nice amount of
saltwater and ro ready i want to water changes to be easy and less messy than siphioning
another goal is to have 2 deadicated circet breakers for the tank
i want to be able to switch indivigual componets off and on by switches
i still may go to a neptune controler but for now timers and switches lol
To start i want to pick a location for this room close to the tank it happens to work out
that the tank will be against the wall my stairs are so i have a catch all junk closet under
the steps.
so step one clean the junk out
the closet was used to hold the sweeper, old school books, pictures, stuff we need to hide fast
had a computer in there that was hooked up to the suround sound in the other room as a music server
. it will still house the cable distrubution panel and computer wireless router and modem
ok on with the pictures
the mess

Which option did you pick for the image urls? With Photobucket I think you have to choose the "direct link" option, then use the embed link option in the posting window.

 

Look at the top of your open posting window, the toolbar 2nd from the top has a little icon of a chain link(third over from the right). Click on that, then paste the url you want into the appropriate window.

That will create a clickable link: i5.photobucket.com/albums/y180/pundam/dogs/joker1.jpg

 Or you can upload pix directly using the option at the bottom of the posting window where it says "Image" and gives you a browse button.

Hope that helped, and welcome to TRAC!
