If you host the image on a site like photobucket you can provide us with the link to see the picture. It's free, and this way you don't have to send out multiple e-mails. Also if you could supply us with other info about your tank like, how many watts of light per gallon of water you have and any other perameters like ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate these all help to determine the problem you might be having.
