I love hearing that, Pat. I hope that you enter a wild of the quality of the fish in your avatar. That's a very tall order but you might manage it.

I miss that fish Liz but perhaps next show. This is the only show where I did not enter fish.

I'd miss that fish, too. Do you have a larger picture of it that you can share with us?

John walking up on me and Jamie tag-teaming the tank lids. Getting the piece of plastic on the glass edge was an exercise in futility. Having one person hold the plastic in place while the other one guided the plastic onto the edge worked really well.

This image concluded the work done Wednesday. The stands and tanks are in position with the tanks filled with water and had heaters and air going. Basically ready for fish.

That is a super cute picture of Fred.

You guys just never caught on to the proper technique of installing those plastic strips. I did 4 of them in the wee hours of Thursday morning, after I found the final box of them, in no time at all. Guess I'll have to put myself on that detail next time around.

She should was a trooper Keith and you are more them welcome to show us the way. We found some tops went easy and others were simply buggers.
