I had the same problem. The problem is IE, since switching to chrome I have not not any trouble with it. I understand your frustration.... Even when I would physically type the link in, it will wouldn't work. Chrome is win...

For the last couple of months I have been planning on converting an old 4ft tank I have in my shed, and turning it into a little divided shrimp setup to replace the several small tanks my 7Yo son and I have set up in his room. This project is to reduce running cost of 3X heaters, compact and T8 Fluros and to get an aquarium cupboard utilised to remove all the clutter. A big point for my Wife! And have a nice breeding setup to play around with. Most of my purchases I am doing as cheap as possible. I have also been organising some Cheap Chinese LEDs of Fleabay to convert an old 4ft arcadiaT5 light that has a busted ballast I have been hoarding (the wife calls it hoarding, I call it saving for when I will need it one day!!). And lo and behold the time has come to use the light I have been 'saving'. I am following fishmossy's Led setup that was posted in the DIY section. A couple of changes I made were to put 8xWhite strips in and 1X Blue strip. I will use the blue as mainly a light at night. For the Project I have purchased. 1X32mm glass whole saw 1X glass cutting pen LED Hard light strips Blue Led Light strip Led switches and dimmer. (dimmer for the Blue strip) I had the 3X glass divider pieces cut by someone I know for a 6 pack of Corona. I was quoted between $60and $120 for the 3 pieces from 1/2 a dozen Adelaide Glass places. A couple of tubes of GE silicon I have also purchased a Portable aquarium RO unit from FSA that is currently on its way. Items I already have that I will be using are 1X 300w Jager Heater 1x fluval 405 tank and Cupboard 4ft light unit an old 1ft tank with a crack I pulled apart to cut the feeding dividers we have seen done here by several members. Large sponge filters for each tank section (These are all I have as current filtration for the shrimp at the moment). 1XSchego air pump. Tools; drill, tape measure, square etc. I am planning on Benibachi soil which i still need to get. This will the the first time I have cut and drilled glass. I have built many tanks and aquaculture systems in my working life so hopefully when I get to putting water, then finally shrimp all will be well. I have been working on the tank for the last few weekends and here are a few progress shots; The bare tank after I have emptied it from a 1 week water holding test; This is the tank with the 3 dividers and the bottom of the dividers siliconed, with helpers I have siliconed the front section and trying the LEDs. I only have 6strips on at the moment. with the blue strip only Here everything is siliconed And a close up of the feeders. This is currently where I am up to. Its been several months in the planning, and thrifty purchsing. A few extra notes are, I will be finishing the silicone off nicely by cleaning off the chunky thick parts that can be seen on the tank where dividers and feeding sections are. This is done with a razor I need to wait a week for the silicon to fully cure before I do this. I am waiting on 16mm intake mesh piece for the fluval and am considering my options on setting it up. I will probably split the outlet into 4 separate outlets w/spraybars and 1 or 2 intakes, it will be a trial and error play around. I have Put 2X32mm holes in each divider, I will be putting mesh on them I think, but I am still considering my options. Feel free to ask any questions or suggestions. Thanks for reading everyone.

^^This. IE is the worst offender for building web compliant browsers. I used Chrome for my test post above, but you can also try Safari and FireFox as I know they both work as well. *If* you are still having issues but have no problems on a different computer, than it could be a corrupt system library on your machine. The site software doesn't use anything non-standard to run. It's a mixture of php and ajax from memory.

Looks amazing dude, love the whole desert idea & the petrified wood looks fantastic!

Very nice work, looks amazing!

Your tanks are all very nicely scaped so jealous.

I like it :) looks good

Super excited 2day, as my local LFS, had a white haddoni the size of a tennis ball, so small = cheap :-) been searching for one for ages, and finally have it in my tank.....also added 1 x pair of anemone crab :-)

forgot to mention my big Mumma had her babies tonight too. 18 days berried again. seems to be a trend with her. the last lot survived so hopefully this lot will too. have been hunting with the magnifying glass but haven't spotted them yet.

bit update with layout and put some plant abit to see hows it goes

The plan is to remove the damsel before the introduction of the anemones.....easier said that done huh, but, hats the plan. Haven't thought about the Seagrams, thanks for the heads up. Been focusing on the cycle, and improving the stability of the tank. Thanks for the offer, may take up up on it....plan to have the anemones in, let them choose their spot, and once settled, I'll scape around them ? Thanks for the peroxide info....only used it for 2 days before any inhabitants. Will read up more about it over the coming days. :beer:
