Sounds nice, but I get uneasy when it stops raining for too long. Cory >Even better then the north west where it rains alot is the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York state where our lakes and streams are soft and acidic thanks to all the industries of the midwest that add toxins to our air that makes for acid rain. My tap water is 6.8 pH and 60 ppm hardness. I can breed just about anything from South America or West Africa is my tap water. So move east where the beauty and peacefulness of the Mountains will keep you here forever.
