If I insert them inline, they always appear small. If I remove the inline tags (but keep them in Manage Attachments), but use the image URLs so I can get them full size, they will appear as attachments at the bottom...blah! Thanks for all your help but I'm just going to sleep. I don't mind this oddity terribly as long as the images show up.
Hey, where did they go? Go ahead and re-upload them. It can be a little goofy at times, if you don't host your images elsewhere. Once they are in the manager, I know there is an option in the lower right section of the window that says "Insert Inline" and you'd check off all the ones you want inserted and they will do just that. Once done, they shouldn't show up as attachments at the base of your entry. I've been posting blogs here for over a year, and have added images just about every way possible. Some are better than others, but in the end it works. I just wish I could insert images directly from my iPhone like I can with tapatalk or on facebook.

Hmm, that seems to work for a short while, but not long afterwards the images disappear entirely. I tested this on my most recent blog post and the same thing happens. I remove the bottom row attachments. Images are nice and big and works, but a short time later they disappear, and when I return to manage attachments the images are gone from there too.

Yeah, I think 800x600 to a side is good, but I'm too lazy to change them right now. Thanks! Is there a way I can remove the attachment thumbnails from my end?

I just realized how I could make them bigger by getting the URLs to the attachments and inserting the URLs into the IMG tags. I should probably downsize them now that they are rubbing up against the sidebar. There's are thumbnails that appear at the bottom of the post now, which I don't mind, but it seems a little odd for it to appear.

Those are both nice pieces. Give them time and you'll have much more to enjoy.

@Alaska_Phil: That's good to hear that they can still thrive when there's nothing else in the tank. @Mits: I am hoping for your luck! There are intertidal sponges that are adapted to regular air exposure from low tides. The snail I found turned out to be a peppermint snail, so I updated the post as well as making a correction on one of the feather-duster worms. I think the white polyps may either be bleached zoanthids or discosoma (with shrunken discs). I discovered a few more critters today, including a digitate hydroid colony, spionid worms, and possibly two tiny Pseudocorynactis (anemone-like corallimorphs).
You may be surprised with the sponges survival. I upgraded to my new tank over the summer, and discovered this amazing bright pink sponge that had been growing under the side of a rock that I couldn't see for a couple years. I had some polyps on the rock that I had already planned to remove by taking them out and chiseling them off of the rock, and couldn't avoid air exposure when making the transfer anyway. I had always been told that air exposure will kill any sponge, so I left the rock out for over an hour while working with it because I thought the sponge wouldn't make it. I put it in the new tank expecting to see it wither away, and here I am a few months later watching it spread and grow even further.
Wow! looks like you got some nice live rock. And you've obviously done a lot or research too. When I set up my nano a few years back, I found out I might be moving just after I added the live rock. As a result I waited 3 months before adding anything else except a couple snails. The result was that all those little critters multiplied like mad with no predation.
Wow, nice post with lots of details

Thanks for the spray painting suggestion! I bought a can of Krylon Fusion this morning and painted the back. It looks way better than the cheap background I had. My base rock also arrived today, so I'll post a new photo once I figure out the rock-scape.

Is there a difference between the Krylon Fusion and the Rustoleum? Oh don't worry, I stocked up on RO/DI water that I will use when I start the tank for real. There's a local grocery store RO/DI dispenser that a few local reefers also use. I'm only using the tap to test the tank, heater and filter.

Have you thought about painting the tank back with krylon fusion or rustoleum? I usually paint mine black to make the colors pop more and hide filters / wires. Also, if you can afford to do it, either start the tank with RO/DI from a LFS or buy your own unit. You can save a lot of headaches with algae blooms and other issues if you go with RO/DI right from the start. Looking forward to seeing your progress!
