    Default Custom 3d background discus project

    Well this is my first fish project other than setting up a brand new tank. Picked up a hundred gallon tank last night. It was a saltwater tank so I'm converting it over. I scrubbed it out and am soaking with bleach today. Its going to take about 4weeks for my background to come in. In the mean time i am focusing on the fish/bedroom/woman cave room. Have to drain current tank and move it to another wall to make room. I'll be starting this tomorrow as i need the tank to house current fish and water while i move things around. I will have about a foot of extra space. Just enough to get inbehind the tank. lol....pushin it! bigger is better. Will have to remove tv from wall and move to another wall. The tank came with a stand just frame made from two by fours so I'll be working on that in the next little while. Skirting it with wood and painting it although I have no clue how to do this. Yoo-hoo Mr ex-husband LOL

    Just click on that button and then click on the "From Computer" tab and hit select file button. Then you will need to find the picture on your computer. If you are using a android cell phone the process is the same. Most digital cameras and cell phones keep their pictures in a folder labeled "DCIM"
    I just pulled this from another thread...

    Most likely it is the size of the file. We have a limit of 2MBs. I do not know how to tell you the size on an android. You might consider emailing to yourself and posting from a computer were you could determine size and resise or crop from there.

    I'm being stubborn and still don't have one of those thumb-operated smart phones so I can't be sure, but I think there are apps for that, called image resizers.

    The phone might have a native app that can do that. The iphone has edit functions which are available when viewing a picture.

    Everyday is a adventure. So yesterday i siphoned old tank into new put fish in and moved old tank into place. Well....siphoning it all back UP into the tank wasn't so easy so I went out to buy a pump. Well we're having thunderstorms out here really bad and everybody seems to be out of pumps the only find pump I could find was at the pet store so I paid $95 because I didn't know what I was doing and bought one that only has an output so I can't use it as a suction her. Oh well lesson learned there. Today I had to move stuff around to make room for the new tank in a light bulb fell off the shelf and wouldn't you know right into the new tank that had an inch of water and the bulb into millions of pieces. Needless to say I have to wash the whole tank out again. Time to work on the stand tomorrow. One week down 3 to go until the background comes in.
