I just put a Current Dual Satellite 2x18W PC fixture on my 2.5. Mooooooore light!! 8) But with more light comes more heat. I need to install a fan.

Can't go wrong with an Oceanic. Very well built tanks. I have the 30 cube and have been very happy with it. Buy the RR version if that's an option.

It's just so darn gross.

I used a credit card when I had an acrylic tank too. Works quite well.

Same here, although that 6" gets filled in pretty darn quickly in my tank. I've got a couple of digi colonies growing into each other. :evil:

Mexican turbo snails mow down hair algae.

My 2 year old Icecap has been acting flakey lately. It refused to fire the bulb. My husband took it apart last week and tested all the wires. One seemed to be showing no current but after some time, it was fine. Strange. He rewired and we retested it and it fired the bulb. Next day it wouldn't...

Exactly why I logged in. I hadn't been here for a couple of weeks and was wondering about the finalists. Very exciting. I know who my favorties are. ;)

I'd stick with a pair of tomatoes in that size tank. They get to be pretty large. One of the largest clown speices, I believe, and as stated, also one of the more aggressive.

Unfortunately, in that size tank, the dottyback will bully and harrass anything you try to introduce. They are extremely territorial, even more so in smaller tanks. The Orchid is peaceful towards the clown for the exact reason you stated. He was introduced second, and the clown had already...
