Can't find a lot on this one, but there is an interesting story anyway. The vessel was apparently valued at $250,000. After its loss, the owner acquired a newer bigger vessel that he named Alexander II. On an August day in 2009, he attempted to sink that vessel, but it was towed in, and he was accused of insurance fraud. Makes you wonder what just happened to the first boat!

Aquarium Guide

Butterflyfish

Keeping aquaria is a hobby I have enjoyed for many years, and I have gained what I think is some useful experience on the subject. I also have a number of excellent books on aquaria, and a degree in Biology from a famous university which is slowly fading from memory ( the degree is fading, not the university. ) There is a great deal you can learn about this subject from books, and the people at your local pet store, and I will try to avoid duplicating that in detail. I will also spare you the chemical equations, most of which I used to know. My purpose here is to tell you what you won't find in books, and what your pet store guy may not tell you, as well as some of the pitfalls along the way that I have discovered by falling into.
