It's been a long time since I have updated this thread. I have a lot to add. I can't figure out for the life of me how to get pictures to show up in posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

If you have an iPhone crop the image so it’s smaller the file size or whatever is just to big.

I have an android and have searched other threads looking for answers and can't figure it out.

I started using Flickr a few months back to host the pictures and then just copy and paste the link they provide into the thread. It’s a few extra steps but not too bad once you get the hang of it.

Looking forward to seeing the progress. The stand looks great and I love the idea of the seahorse fuge.

I’m trying something similar but don’t know if I’ll just go with pipe fish or add some seahorses down the road.

I have android and downloaded an app called photo & picture resizer. I resize the photo to 1200x1600 and then they post fine here. Hope that helps. I'd love to see some pics!

I'll give those a try. It's come a long way since my last update.

Do you have to post a link or is there a way to select the pictures on here to post them?

I think it might be a feature available only to members, but I just click the camera icon when creating the post and then upload the image.

 

[kchristensen8064]

Ah okay, that would make since of it. I might just have to do links.

Ya you will need to host the images somewhere to post and images need to be less then 3500px x 3500px
Flickr works the easiest, but others like dropbox, photobucket and others work as well too. Trick to those though is finding the actual image url to post.

Okay, thanks I downloaded Flickr so I'll see if I can get that one to work.

Okay so here's a couple more of the stand after paint and finishing the doors.

I didn't take a ton of pictures of the whole process but, this is part of the assembly of the seahorse tank I built from scratch.

The custom build seahorse tank looks great! The stand too. Do you put silicone between the panes of glass when you assemble? Or is it glass on glass with bead of silicone in the corner seam?

I put silicone between the panes and then did a bead in the corner.

Getting the rock in. I had 3 huge chunks so I was a little limited on what I could do, this was the best i was able to do with them.

To get flickr images to show up in the post you have to use the img url for it. Easiest way to do that is to right click> inspect the image, and copy the og img url which looks about like this
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4622/40035667461_d7ddf40229_b.jpg
that url will embed into the post like this
