Hell, it ain't even sick. hmmm... in my neck of the woods, as soon as rec.aquaria got created the volume of sci.aquaria dropped to zero. heck, i even took out my alias of sci.aquaria to rec.pets.fish and it didnt change. i dont know about the rest of the net, but i would guess that a lot of places effectively dont get sci.aquaria. -wayne

However, I see very little _science_ in the postings, its just more "which bulb should I use to make my plants grow" and "my fishie died" postings, as of old.
