Just a thought on potential advertisers -- Have you contacted any of the big mail order/Internet houses that advertise in the fish mags -- Big Al's, That Fish Place, Pet Warehouse, etc. What we get for ads is small compared to what they pay to TFH, FAMA and AFm, and while our readership is not asd big as those mags, they could target a very specific audience. Feature additives at a good price, the Hagen CO2 thingie, etc. In your copious spare time, Kathy.
