I suspect with these divisions we will have 48% of the people in (a), 48%
in (b), and 4% in (c).  I would suggest splitting by something like 10 &
under (micro), 11-40 (small), 41+ (large).  Call it a hunch or whatever,
but to me, aquascaping a 10-gallon tank is a much different (and more
difficult) task than doing a 20.  But I've found 20's and 30's to be
similar, and then once we get into the 4' types, it's a different ballgame
again.  For instance, perhaps adding back the > 90 gallon category if
there are enough entries.

That is all I wish to say on the matter, and I'll be happy to go along
with others.  I figure we'll probably have to re-adjust everything in
practice anyway once actual entries come in.
