Jay,

Your 'putor has been invested with the Happy 99 virus.  You are passing

it on to others, without you knowledge.

If you need assistants in removing this virus, please reply to me and I

will find it for you.

Ron

I strongly discourage the use of long rectangular tanks.  It is difficult to

remove solids from them.  Circular tanks are self-cleaning.  Settleable

solids quickly migrate to the central drain.  Solids removal in rectangular

tanks is a chore.  This characteristic will affect fish production levels

and economics. Jim R.

Now THAT was funny!

It really didn't take this long for me to get it...It just took me this long

to git to read it.

I wonder how many locals are familiar with Elmer Fudd...This is killing me!
