[Ram_Puppy]

your 'rough' site is more polished than what many people call 'finished'... good job.

Sam, Nice layout and start. But, for what its worth...

The graphic images need work for your site to work well. They need to be compressed for the internet. I couldn't get to most of it because the images are not compressed and I am only willing to wait just so long. All of those images can be slicked down for the internet. With the size of them and load/server time involved to serve them, your web site host will start charging you extra money for traffic volume if there are many visitors to the pages. And that can run you into some big dollars when the site exceeds the max allowed quota for the month. And it will, sooner than you think possible the way those images are set up. When done correctly, they will still be clear and will run fast over the internet without excessive server load time or cost to you. Either this or they are not allowing you much bandwidth or time to serve the pages. Taking me a very long time to get pages. I'd like to see your tanks, but, us country boys have some slow connections sometimes.

In your 50 gallon there are a number of round ball looking corals with green centers on the polyps? Are they Blasto...welsyii (whatever they are called) ? Like that display!

[samiam_orami]

Thanks for the feedback Larry ! ! !
Very valuable information ...
exactly the kind of stuf a web newbe like me needs to know

as far as the round ball looking thingies ...
.... they are Green Blastomussa Merleti ....

They were amoung my first coral frags I ever got from Tropicorium
and they been growing like crazy! and seems to respond to fragging quite well ...

Off topic here, but, how are you fraggin them?

[mathias]

get rid of the background.... and try some tables to organize the site a little bit and thumbnails for your tank pics as links?

[samiam_orami]

Fragging with my trusty (rusty) Hammer & chisel and lots of superglue …
Even the polyps that are damaged and cracked seem to recover quickly

I've started glueing fragments onto clam shell boats for easier future fragging
(clam shell boat - 3 or 4 shells glued together forming a nice little cirle with the frag glued in the middle)

[Instar]

: lol : Some of my tools are all rusty too and I even take time to wash and dry them most of the time.

Thats a great idea. Thanks for the picture! Let us know how it works out on the shell boats! I really like your tank with all of those colonies in there of the same thing. Looks quite natural to me like that.
