Yes. You're welcome, Eric. As you know not everyone is thrilled and some are outright upset by my husbandry... which is fine. We can agree to disagree, I guess.

A lot of new fish? Obviously this wasn't all at once.

As always, thanks for sharing!

Just been catching up, you have so many awesome fish! Are you any nearer to being able to open to the public?

Thank you, guys. If I didnt fail my fire inspection last summer, we'd probably already opened. As it is, I had finished redoing the electrical and need to finish building one more tank, 10K gal, and place it on line and then try for my inspection again. If I pass it, I can open.
