Hello, I've been lurking for a while and finally got the courage to post a few words. My name is Neenah and I'm a reef addict LOL. I think I'm in the right place right? Well I have been in the aquarium hobby for the last 10 years but finally converted to salt in 2009. I still consider myself a noob since I still have so much to learn. I currently have a 120 gal tank with mostly softies. In March of this year I looked at my tank and decided - I NEED A BIGGER TANK. With that being said I bought a used 265 gal tank with a metal stand. I'm grateful my husband didn't have a heart attack nor an aneurysm phew... He loves to look at the tank and sometimes will come home with something I don't approve of just because he liked it at the store, however he will not help with the maintenance of the tank - nor is he allowed to LOL! Getting back to the 265... yes it's almost June and its still sitting empty in my living room begging me to get it going, so that's why I'm here. I'm looking for guidance, tips, advice, and any help I can get to avoid any mistakes that can be avoided. As soon as I figure out how to post pics I'll get you guys up to speed on where I'm at on this build. Thanks for reading

    welcome! and I agree with joe we are all picture hounds here lol. what are you wanting to do with the 265? corals? lps/softies/sps? fowler? just curious then you can get a general direction on equipment.

    Thank you! Well right now I have pulsating Xenia, 3 different types of zoas, torch coral, orange frog spawn, orange Monti, 3 different types of mushrooms, Duncan and a staghorn coral all living happily. They will all be moved to the new tank - except maybe the pulsating Xenia - I like that coral but hate how it just takes over everything. Once the new tank is set up I'd like to go with more SPS. Of course one frag at a time and lots of patience lol.

    I'm feeling like a total retard but how can I post pics? every time I try to post one I get a little box with a question mark on it. (I'm using copy and paste, when I paste it I see it but once I save all I see is the little blue box with a question mark in it.) Sorry for the dumb question here lol.

    I haven never been able to copy and paste here I have always had to click on the little picture between where you type your comment in and where it says "leave comment" it looks like a tree in a picture frame and mouse over says "insert image" then you upload the image through there

    The only issue I'm noticing with your images is that you have redundant IMG tags. If you are pasting images from Photobucket that have the IMG tags, then paste that code into your message as is. You don't need to click the Photo button; the Photo button adds IMG tags to the filename, but you don't need that.

    Thanks for the tip Melev! Cyano, it really is a beauty. It's getting WAY too big for the spot it's in in the 120 tank. I don't have the heart to frag it out
