RE: A nice problem to have!

["Colin Gorton" <colingorton@visto.com>]

I live near Girona, Spain. Contrary to popular opinion, it can be VERY cold here, last week we had temps. as low as  -17ºC. For this reason heating is going to be a problem (in winter), I want to send a message to Dan Resler, who has done much of the calculations on substrate heaters, does anybody have his email address? I'm not sure if the one shown on thekrib.com is up-to-date.
Unfortunately I have to find a new email address for myself as my provider is stopping the service:-(. I'll be able to use this one until the end of the year, so if you reply soon to colingorton@visto.com, I'll respond (I go on hols. at the end of the week but will still be able to read my email).

Hi folks,
I have just worked out a deal for a 2,275Litre aquarium, very cheap ($220!).
Now, in a phone conversation with Pete Liptrot, he asked me what I was going
to do with it, something which hadn't occurred to me! What do you lot
suggest? The dimensions are 3.5x1.0x.65metres. I want apistos and was
thinking of having an Amazonian biotope, but with a proper "bank" plants
roots etc.. The big advantage with such a monster tank is that I can create
something much more realistic without worrying too much about how much space
each bit will take up.
I was also thinking about having some Crenicichla Regani and maybe Discus
(maybe not quite right geographically?), watch some interactions take place.
I would also like to let things take a natural course for a year or two, see
who comes out on top!
Lighting will be with 2x400W HQL (Metal Halide), substrate will probably be
peat with a cap of dark sand or gravel with (probably) substrate heating
cables and a wet/dry filter (one of my present tanks converted to the task).
Nothing has been decided so you can make any suggestions you like! I
probably won't have it until around about Easter, and will even then need a
few months before it's up and running.
this also gives me another opportunity to gloat!:-)
