    Avatar - who has seen it?

    Saw this in 3d and loved it. Not the most original story, but the effects were ground breaking. I hope it transfers well onto blu-ray because this is a movie that I want to own.

    Tank crash survivors

    I am coming out of a tank crash (power outage) and lost a bunch of SPS. I also had roughly 10 pieces that had almost all the flesh gone, but still had some left (like a half inch or less). I cut off the pieces and remounted them hoping for the best. I still lost a few of those but a bunch are...

    Our 30 Gallon Cube (pics included)

    This little bugger is a pain to get pictures of. The flame angel is also letting the wrasse know who is boss which also makes it tough. It should be interesting when the wrasses realizes it is a wrasse and decides not to take it anymore. The fish is blurry but the reflection is kinda clear: A...

    In a nutshell vodka dosing is adding food for the beneficial bacteria in your tank which causes them to increase their numbers and drop all of your "bad" parameters. A lot of people have had great success with it but I would only recommend it if you did a TON of reading beforehand. It is also...

    Purple Zoo colony w/green hair algae

    Right first name, different person. It was Mbodell that was using the hydrogen peroxide. When I had hair algae I would just scrub it off, but if you can't I would go with Whitebirds advice.

    PC or T5

    Over our 20g tank we run a 5 bulb T5 fixture and get great growth. Before that we had a 4 bulb fixture and got pretty good growth too. I think you should get the 4 bulb if you want it to be a frag tank. A 2 bulb fixture is not that much light, especially if you want to have a SPS frag tank. If...

    Myth or Fact - Multiple Angels in One Tank??

    Depends on the size of the tank and type of angels. I have seen plenty of tanks with multiple angles of different species and I have seen tanks with harems of the same angel. It seems the common denominator of those tanks is size. I would not put a flame angel and a flame back in a 20 gallon...

    I THINK a wrasse would take care of those. You can get some really nice ones that are reef safe and would fit in your tank.

    QT Question about multiple fish

    Don't have hypo salinity when you add them, you will shock them. As JR said you can start from day one, but when you introduce them you want salinity to be very close (drip acclimation will help this). If you are going the hypo route, I think you can ignore the copper treatment. You don't want...

    If you are going to take the state tour, hit up Aqua Obsession and Ocean Gallery II. They are about an hour north of trop and reef to reptiles. If you want to go crazy, drive up to NYC spend the night there and take your time coming home hitting the fish stores.

    That is one heck of an upgrade. :o It is always nice when the wife is on board, makes this hobby a lot more fun. In the end you will save a lot of money by doing the big upgrade now.
