I think the URL you are copying from your image server already has the tags in it so you don't need to use the RC Editor's mountian icon. That is probably what is causing you all the extra [IMG] tags all over the place.
Try just pasting the image server's URL for the image in the text box with Ctrl+v.
Don't forget to hit Enter a couple of times between each image URL to keep some spacing between each image. You should be able to post multiple images per post if you treat all your input as text.

I would highly suggest against the BF6000 I had one and within 8 months it completely failed. The o-rings are horrible in it and it is loud as all get out. Also you need a ton of water to feed it. The one up side for the pump is that it cold move a MASSIVE amount of water over long distances.
I went with a barracuda/hammerhead hybrid and love it.

I have had the BF running on my old tank for about 3 years and had no problem.
If I am not mistaken the Barracuda is the same pump just a different motor.
The rock work is for the most part done,my wife who is the rockscapist wants to add a bit more here and there.I added a 1 inch sand bed using Carib-sea special grade and I must say I am happy with it.Already got yelled at as my wife thinks it is too thick.....whatever. Had a few minor leaks hopefully I solved that issue.
I decided to make sure that my sump could hold enough if the power went out.Started up the pump again made sure that the water level was correct and went off to do something else.I think I have a 6th sense as I came back into the family room and the tank was overflowing,not sure why that happened.Luckily got all that dried up from the new wood floors, before the wife came downstairs,you gotta test those as well to see how they will hold up under minor flood conditions.All seems to be good right now.

I went through a real bad patch a while back,started losing fish a lot of fish,went through quarantine the whole lot,put them in the tank a few weeks later they were history no signs of disease,stress or anything.Funny thing is it was usually after a water change.Anyway changed my salt brand as I thought that might be the problem.Fish seem to be doing well now other than the few jumpers.
My wife decided also the rock work needs to be changed a little,higher in places and so on,nothing too radical.I added two more power heads Jebao's not bad for the price.
Started the cabinetry and hopefully that will get finished this week,if only there was more time in the day.
I have also added a fair amount of coral which seems to be doing ok.At present I am fighting brown algae which is really ugly and difficult to get rid of.It seems to have started when I put up the new lights,seven AI Sol blue and still have three regular Sol whites that I might add.Anyway that is the joys of reefing.That is a real quick update I will try and be more diligent in future.
Thanks all for the interest,please feel free to comment I will only take it as positive feed back and I will only be annoyed with you for a day.

You have an natural ambient light problem.
Is there a way to put some window shading (like car tint) on those windows to block out some of the UV?? Without making your other half upset? If so they have it at some home repair stores. It is designed to make the house/room cooler and cut down on the UV while still looking out the window with no problems.
That will cut down on the algae problem.

Thanks I will take full credit for that,just wish I could get it finished,really sucks when work gets in the way of the hobby.
