Well the image degradation is quite obvious but I agree to your wider point, that said R2R could theoretically disappear too. The only way to be sure that ones images are always available is to host them oneself. Compared to the cost of a aquarium or a decent camera then website hosting and a url are pretty cheap.

Yeah, I would never use a hosting service for the purpose of storage... I store every single original on my computer or external hard drive. I just use the hosting service for the ease of sharing.

That is too bad. Been using Drive for everything in my planning for the new tank. Guess I will just use the R2R quality for now.

Once I get my tank set up I can easily enough set up a Flickr account. I just worry it could turn into a Photobucket situation some day, but my tank could crash and burn too, so no reason to limit myself trying to game the future.
 

Just grow it: Have you ever added CO2 to your reef tank?
