You have to store them in a place like http://www.photobucket.com & then link them here. I thought you were studying? :p

*snort* That's the other thing about being a student. While the definition is "one who studies," it just never seems to happen.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi

Keep a very close eye on your ammonia and nitrites, most of the time you're going to have some die off in live rock, unless you transported it completely under water. Even if it was just a 10 minute drive across town.

Yes, you can buy the cheaper dead rock and just a few chunks of live rock, and the live rock will seed the dead rock eventually.. that's a much cheaper option.

I wouldn't worry about the hardness of the water, saltwater is naturally very hard :)

Updates: Rudy and Winky are doing AWESOME. Rudy is the brains of the organization and Winky...well, let's just say his name rhymes with a cartoon character mouse that isn't the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree. Eating mysis shrimp once daily, eagerly; tank has levelled out at 0 nitrites and somewhere between 10 and 20 nitrates. Thanks for all the help, everyone!
