Friday greetings

[Barb]

Good morning and Happy New Year my friends!  Holiday frivolities over, deco put away, parties finished,  Whew, glad I can get back to a more normal and calm life, I hope.  I have just had too much going on since Oct.  You all too?  I did read all your postings I recently missed, so I am up to date with you all.  Dennis, that is some hobby you have with the bikes and riding and your mechanical skills! ainLiz glad you are selling fish again!! And Ron you are very busy as usual, especially with what seems like a new plant selling business again? 

I sure would like a large display tank filled with beautiful live plants, gravel and some small fish, like Endlers perhaps.  BUT my very hard and alkaline water just wont' grow them, other than Java Moss.  It is the only plant I can count on, but a big tank with just that isn't what I want. I do have a large sword in my discus tank, in a pot of gravel and soil, but leaves always have algae on them since I have an LED light right over it.
Have a good day and weekend, it is my Sat at the aquarium tomorrow, rainy, so it will be crowded.
