I NEED HELP!! My new tank thread that i just started is not working correctly. Problem #1: My pictures are not working. All that is showing up is a question mark. I uploaded them to a folder in my account and then used the add picture option using the url of the picture. Is this not how you...

I received the live rock today. I put it in the tank and added the sand. The tank is still a bit cloudy so I will post pics as soon as it clears up.
