From what I've read it sounds like it wasn't the lack of QT that killed your fish, but the fact your tank wasn't ready for them yet. Why are you removing your rock and sand? Corals too require an established tank - so keep that in mind as well.

Kevin - I've been reading your threads and it sounds like you seem to jump into things super quick and make massive changes. If I remember correctly, you lost a few tangs and other fish, and from the sounds of it your tank had only been up a couple months. SLOW DOWN. For the sake of the fish and other animals in your tank do not rush things. Saying you need to have a fully stocked tank by Aug 3 is setting yourself up for disaster, or a lot of lost fish. I know it's hard to look at an empty tank with only rock, algae and crabs/snails in there for the first couple months. But it's necessary. I applaud you for setting up a QT system, but patience is a vital element that seems to be missing from your threads.

I still have to check on those frag racks you gave me - Next time I mix up some SW I'll soak them and test for leeching. Did that chemiclean work out for you BTW?

Would you guys mind posting some specs on some of your shots? Such as aperture and exposure details, as well as focal length used? I'd love to know more about what everyone uses for some of these shots!

Ahh, ok then. You're redeemed I'm actually a software engineer for a completely unrelated company, but I write for various websites as a game reviewer. I get fedexed games and then play them, write about them, get cash and the game All for doing something I'd do anyway My most recent review can be found at www.commonsensemedia.org for NBA Ballers: Chosen One - a website which informs parents about games so they can make smart choices about what their kids play. Those reviews are actually linked on Best Buy's site too - so it's a fairly big deal. And I like the fact that I get to discuss the game and let parents make the choice - rather than have people get all up in arms about games when they see violence or sex in them. If parents stay informed about things - they should be the ones who keep tabs on their kids.

I was with you until I read this :( (sad)

holding he baby? No - that was Christian Shepard. Never mind - you're talking the preview right? Then no - that's the same guy who welcomed Ben and his Dad to the island back when we saw his flashback.

I'm with ya on this one R-3. GTA IV is an excellent game so far. Games are not just for kids - this is an adult game through and through, and it's spectacular. If games were for kids only, how can it be that I get paid to pay them?

I'd be interested in seeing ongoing picture documentation too

congrats! They have a couple things I'd love to get my mitts on!

I saw them in person today - very nice looking fish, the pics don't do them justice.

You need to make your way over to abc.com and get caught up! And we found out who's baby it was Jin's in season 3.

The Sun/Jin one was before the break, where they showed the baby being born off island. The confirmation that Kate's kid was Aaron was implied. The forshadowing within the early part of the episode where Kate was like "oh, I am no good with kids." then at the very end when she hugged the kid, she called him Aaron.

I've got a rock with these guys on it - plus another on a different part of the same rock. I'd sell you the whole thing for $20.

The "Others" are safe at the temple. The rest of the airline passengers I think will still live on the island - they won't die, the big clue given here is Jin's grave showed the day the plane crashed, not a later date as the case will be. The island is still going to be covered up by Widmore/Ben, but the rest of world still needs to assume that everyone died in the plane that's on the bottom of the ocean.

Interesting that you assume all the others get killed, I assumed the other way ever since the last Sun/Jin centric episode.

Good link - I agree that a zoa and a zoo are not the same!

Heh - my girlfriend is like "You need more tanks. What about we cut a hole in my wall, put a tank there and all the equipment can be in the closet. And what about a tank specifically for growing coral that you could sell? Is that possible?" I got so [language filter] lucky

Wow - another amazing episode. All that was covered would have taken 4 episodes in season 2 to cover. Thoughts: Ben "landed" in Tunisia wearing a parka with the name Halliwax (which was the name the Asian dude in the orientation videos used in one of them) The symbol looked new, and makes me think it's the Orchid station (which has basis in teleportation thanks to the video from last year with the numbered rabbits). Tunisia is an antipode of an area near Fiji - http://www.antipodemap.com/ . The guys who he ran into in the desert I think realized something was awry - no footprints, thick clothes, etc. Smokey IS a security system. The guys playing Risk - and Hurley telling us that Austrailia is the key seemed to be big, but it could be a red herring to get us on the wrong track. If Ben kills Penny, then Desmond goes crazy, then Faraday(Joel's "geek" who I think is an amazing character, I'm a man of science and love that guy) will go crazy, etc.... could that be the start of Jack's craziness from the end of S3? Oh man, such a good episode.

Well, I imagine that running a business that's based a lot on the internet that PMs would be checked regularly I don't have a business, but I check for the bolded number every [language filter] time I'm here (laugh)

But the population size & density have also changed dramatically during those 25 years.
