Glad to hear it all worked out for you in the end Jonathan. Where did you get your recipe for the rock, I have been thinking this would be a fun project for the kids plus I need a little more rock.
Talk to you later, Kelly

While I pry myself off the nearest tree to write this. I find it interesting that we will do all this for our fish tanks yet, nothing for the ones in our part of the ocean
