thanks again for that digi - it is in the big display tank. i am gonna have to glue it down, that big trigger has knocked it down twice now....

sorry some of you wont be able to make it, the students are really looking forward to it. i brought in a few palys and zoas from home, and the students were excited to get them into their tanks. i still have a nice candy cane to frag up for the student tanks that was donated by alma - thanks again!

since it is almost time, i need to get a better count if possible so i can start thinking about food for the meeting.....
