Maybe author could add photos as attachments - not as links

 

[Reef_Hobbyist]

I happen to be using Google Chrome and since these pics are on Google Photos that may be why it seems to be working for me.

However, I just tried Internet Explorer and I cannot see the images there even when I login to R2R with my ID it still doesn't display the images.

So it sounds like it is a browser issue and Google is not playing nicely with Microsoft... as usual....

From now on I will download pics and add them as attachments.

If you wouldn't mind, please try Chrome and let me know if you can see the images.

 

[APLATN13]

I'm on chrome and nothing

Same as APLATN13, on chrome and no images. @Reef_Hobbyist, if you can log in to your google account in IE and then try going to see the photos in the thread, it may be a permissions issue with the photos.

 

[Reef_Hobbyist]

OK I was able to recreate it in Chrome as well. I logged out of my Google account and was not able to see the images like you. So it is not a browser issue it is a permissions issue. I tinkered around but couldn't find a place where I can change permissions on who can see photos. And not sure why it was working fine for over a month.

Have you tried embedding them with the sharable link? If you choose a photo and click share, there is an option to get a sharable link.

 

[abecker]

Another option is adding the google photos to your google drive. It will add it as a folder. From there you can edit security settings on that folder and make it publicly viewable.

Sand arrived today. I ended up going with the CaribeSea Special Grade - 8 bags / 40 lbs each. I decided the live sand just wasn't worth the extra cost given the large amount I needed. I got these for $40/bag.

I rinsed a small batch and it was pretty cloudy. I can tell it's going to take many hours and a lot of water to rinse all of if. I originally wanted to use RODI but not sure that is feasible given how much water I am going to need.

I selected the larger grain size because I am going to have a lot of flow on the bottom of the tank. I also like the texture and color as well.

Good choice on washing the sand. It takes a ton of water to get all the dust and particles from the sand! I agree that using RO/DI is pretty unrealistic due to the volume. You can always run carbon and GFO once the sand is in to remove any impurities.

Great tank. Following along.
