Sorry for the confusion Anita. My Hap post is a test run of how to document
points obtained to receve a HAP award. I listed plants I have grown and my
tank specs as a sample. It appears that my more detailed reply last night did
not make it to the listserve so I will try again when I get home.

instance, my largest tank is a newly set up 55 gal, and my best tank is a 20 gallon.
Does the fact that I don't have a 60 gallon with injectable CO2 leave me out of the
contest? Also, does someone come to my tank & inspect my tank, or do I have to
dig up my best plants to bring them in? And why are so many plants missing? Etc.
