He's the one with the "Green Thumb" and I am the one with the "Wet Thumb" so to speak. He consitrates most of his time and energy finding out about the lighting, etc. for all his plants while I do all the breeding. We get to reap the rewards of both sides. By all means, your husband be the aquaium gardener. Kaycy
