Old tanks are old stories. Those ones, from the Montreal Aquarium
Society (right?) were from the fishroom of a gentleman in his nineties
now, Lyle Hayter, who founded the local club in 1933, and was still
attending last year. I haven't been to enough meetings recently to say
if he still goes.
There was a lot of knowledge gained from those tanks, mostly about
killies. I bought one too, just to have it.
