Eric posted: It's funny, actually, I helped judge a fish show last weekend (something which convinced me I'd much rather be photographing than judging), and in the "community aquarium" category one of the criteria was "lack of toxic materials -- 1 to 3 points". ________________ This is hilarious. There is a decoration at the lfs that consists of a [non toxic] platic grouping of black barrels labeled "toxic" and leaking purple stuff. Eric posted: Some of the other criteria are things like "container suitability", "cleanliness of inside", "cleanliness of outside", "camoflauge of heater and other hardware", ______________ "Camoflauge"...now there's a good one! I have to admit that I sometimes find peoples placement of heaters, filters etc. most unappealing. "Container suitability".... humm... toilet bowls would probably score low. <G> Thanks for a new slant, Erik.
