Aquarium Advice Addict
We at aquarium advice would like to take the opportunity to welcome all the new members that have joined the site recently. This is a very exciting time for the site, we are growing by leaps and bounds, we just completed a server move that was brought on cause our tremedously growing activity almost crashed our previous hosts server, sorry for them but WHOOT for us 
You'll find that this site has many features, I'm gonna attempt to name a few, but I'm sure I'll miss some and hope our other members will pipe up with there favorites that I've left off
-We have several different styles (skins or looks) to choose from, you can acess this feature from the home page in the upper right of the page under your user name, or you can change the style in your edit profile page.
-Each member is allotted 2 MB of space in the photo gallery to upload pics of your tank, fish, yourself, car (basically whatever you want to display here, provided it is clean), so feel free to check out our gallery. If one MB isn't enough, more gallery space is available through our Alumni program. You can become an Alumni member by making a monetary donation to the site. Instructions to upload to the gallery can be found here.
-Members are allotted an additional 2 MB of upload space to the forums, this space can also be upgraded the same as the gallery space.
