Hello Salazar and Welcome to Frag Outpost! :)
To post a photo in a thread click in the "Manage Attachments" button and you will be prompted with a pop up window where you can upload up to 5 images at one time.
We can't wait to see some pics. Let me know if I can help in any way.
Thanks!

What method did you use to propagate your mushrooms?
Did you use a method similar to this - http://www.fragoutpost.com/forums/showthread.php?t=229

Thanks for pic tip
 

Cant wait to post pics after i get out of work and yes i tried that method, which i actually got from this very good forum. :)

I'm glad to see that this forum has been helpful.
Send me an email if you have any problems posting your pics later.
Thanks!

Salazar's 46 gallon bowfront
 

Here are those pics of my setup

Hello salazar. I'm not seeing any pics. Did you upload them via the "Manage Attachments" button?

Uploaded and still no pics?
 

I browsed my pics, uploaded and submitted and still no pictures any idea?

yes! but im not sure if i finished ok

First click "Manage Attachments".

First image -
In the popup window browse to your file and then click upload.

Wait while the file uploads and it should appear under "Current Attachments".
Then close the window and the image should be attached.

I got an upload error file to large max is 312KB my files were 1.5Mbytes

can i compress my files

1.5 MB is a pretty big image. If you don't have any image editing software then you can resize and compress your images here - http://www.fragoutpost.com/jpeg-compression.php
Images that large will take a minute to process.
Save the new compressed image onto your computer under a different name than the original.
I hope I am explaining this clearly. Let me know what I can do to help.
Thanks!

I have never been part of any forum but now im glad i decided to join after 3 weeks on the sidelines you have been very helpful. THANKS

Thanks. I'm glad you picked us as your first forum to join. :)

Let me try agian

Great photo! :)
How long have you had the blue cheek goby?
What other fish do you have in your tank?

About 6 months. I also got 1 Damsel black one with white bar and blue stripes 4 seahorses, mandarin goby. Im trying to figure out correct compression rate, i seem to be compessing to much.

65 is a good rule of thumb for compressing photos. The higher the number is then the higher the photo's quality will be and the larger the filesize will be.

will try that do you know if what red coral is

will try that, do you know what red coral is?

I'm not very good at identifying LPS corals but it looks like a Lobophyllia.
Click on the thumbnail at the bottom of this page and see if it is similar to your coral. - http://www.tidalgardens.com/pages/co...bophyllia.html

Here is a better compressed pic

Kind of looks like that but mine is one coral (7-8 in. across) with about 10 mouths , tentacles are about 1/4 in. long and clear coloration.and it opens at night along the ridge.

any pics of your rig

Heres my clam only had it for 2 weeks, doing fine

It is some sort of open brain. Possibly a trachyphyllia.

I was kind of leaning towards open brain also.

Welcome to the outpost. very nice tank, Do you have any fish in there if so what.

Here's a recent one.

Nice clam. Great color.

Hello peterrock yes 4 seahorses, sleeper goby, damsel and a mandarin, im trying to take pics of zoos to try and trade

looks like fragoutpost u have sps coral nice!! I have been wanting some but wife and babies say no for now, to expensive.

SPS can be expensive. Are there any aquarium societies locally where you are where you can trade frags?

Some montiporas -

Im in Tucson AZ, frags go for about 30$ an in. here do you sell? or trade

i have tried to locate societies here but seems to be none

I don't really sell frags I just trade with other reefers. Right now most of my corals large enough to be propagated are in a growout phase from being fragged too much. That's why I don't have very much listed on the site.

I have found a few in AZ. Not sure how active they are or if they have websites.

Arizona - Fish & Reef Aquarium Group (FRAG)
Arizona - Propagators Reef Organization Project (PROP)
Arizona - Sierra Vista Area Reef keepers
Desert Marine Society, Phoenix, AZ

Here is a thread about a Frag Auction in March being held by some Tucson reefers - http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...hreadid=759480
