Not sure what you mean. Why can't you copy a pic from an email to here?
There are several other things I would like to share with you regarding pics, and I want to comment on your cool tank, but let's get your questions out of the way first. You have already overcome the first big hurdle, which was setting up the photobucket account, and getting the pics moved over to here.....

I hope you are purchasing RO/DI water for your reef, not RO. Make sure if is just fresh, it is kept sealed tight. Since it is so devoid of elements, it makes it aggressively take in any pollutants from your home/the air.

My lfs guy is giving me RO water in gallon jugs. I do keep the tops on them unless i make salt water, in which case I keep open to put airstone in there to mix for a couple of days. I don't know the difference between RO and RO/DI water.

Thanks for the compliment on my tank, although my camera takes lousy pics and I still need loads of corals, etc to fill in the rock.
As far as my question, I tried to copy pic from photobucket the same way I did to post in here, then I tried to paste in e-mail, but the pic didn't come out,. it just had the site, or whatever to go to. Don' tknow why...

If you want to put the pic in an email, don't worry about the links below the pic. Just right click on the pic itself, hit copy, then go to the email you are writing and right click, hit paste......Waaalaa

As far as RO verses RODI water goes, the basic explanation is....they are both filtered water. Various water filters have different filters that the water passes thru to filter it. DI is just an extra step in this process which produces much purer water than RO alone. Still, using RO filtered water is better than just using tap water out of the sink. Do a search for RODI in the "New Hobbyist" forum...there's plenty of information.

Sorry T, it didn't work. I went to pic, hit copy image, then e-mail, no paste showed. What happened? Are you sure you can do it like that?

Yes, it works. I just sent myself an email using your pic.
I think you did it wrong. Think of old school copy/paste.
Go to your photobucket page.
Put your mouse pointer on top of the picture itself (not the links below the pic).
Right click.
Select "COPY"
Then exit photobucket and go to the email you are going to write.
In the body of the email somewhere (anywhere), Right click, and select "PASTE"
The picture should pop up instantly. I just did it.

I tried that. When I put my mouse on top of pic and right click I do not get "copy", I get "copy image". then when I go to email and right click it does not give me a paste. Maybe I have to go to a different pic?? The pic I tried it with is the one when I just go on to the site.

Click on the link that you posted here in Post # 13 above. That is your photobucket account. There are two pics there. It should work on either one of them, that's how I did it.

Just did that, same thing happened. When I right click there is no "copy", only copy image, then on e-mail, there is no paste.
Go figure!!!!

You have me stumped then...

I can even do it with the pic in my avatar. It seems like your "copy image" should be the same thing, but I think you said you tried that. And if "copy image" is all you have there, then you should have a "paste image" when you go to email.
If you are using Windows XP or something similar, I don't know why it's not the same as mine.

Let me know if you find out anything. Seems like I should get the same thing that you got when you went there.

I asked a couple people here on the boards to look into it, so they may chime in hopefully...
