Thanks, kris. Not sure how that happened.

We're all invited to Francine Bethea's new house Dec. 11 for a holiday party. see website for details: <a href="http://www.capitalcichlids.org/meeting.html" target="_blank">http://www.capitalcichlids.org/meeting.html</a><edited><editID>krisw</editID><editDate>38309.6615509259</ed...

No, they weren't sharp.

I replaced the frame on a 30g. Huge pain in the #$$! I don't recommend it.

I broke the old frame off in pieces. There was no easy way that I could think of. Then scrape off the silicone with a razor blade.

I'll be there, too!

Also check your connections are tight enough, make sure that air isnt' getting sucked in. That happened with mine on the 1st try.

Very pretty! <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0">

That can't be sagitaria subulata, can it? I know it can sometimes get that tall -- but a whole bunch of it?

Dwarf hairgrass won't grow in shade either. Needs lots of light.

The Petco in my town tends to sell a majority of non-aquatic plants for the aquarium. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0">

Meetings are every 4th Saturday of the month at 1:00. They tend to run 2-3 hours. Next month is in Virginia - Fairfax area, I think. Directions should be posted on the website, but it's a bit out of date now.

Sounds like a nice plan. <img border="0" src="smileys/smiley32.gif" border="0"> I assume you've spoken with Aaron's folks. They're ok with several of our kind invading their home? I was up at his place about a month ago. He has several tanks and a barrel-o-fish outside.
