Sorry to hear about your unfortunate light accident. I hope that the light can at least be repaired and the mercury junk cleaned up. Can you at least shoot the gorilla that sheared off the bolt? I find that violence always reduces anger induced stress. By the way, how do you clean up those mercury compounds, beside water changes, I mean. This may be a stupid remark, but I read about water lettuce being use as a tool to clean up chemical spills. I have oodles if you need any. About your purgatory, my superstition dictates that bad things always happen in threes, so just wait for the third thing and you are home free. Thanks, Teresa. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the apistogramma mailing list, apisto@listbox.com.
