Base Rock
Any place I can get good base rock on the cheap? Feel like just driving
down to the keyes over Christmas to do some diving, and load up at a
landscaping shop with argonite.

200 BTU's vrs 110 gallon tank
I found a surplus chiller, but it seems like 200 BTU's is ridiculously
small. It would take 4 hours to reduce the temp a degree. Does that
seem right?

Where does he sleep? I've heard that it's easy to catch a sleeping
fish, but I've never tried it.
So, when you stumble in from the pub on Friday night, give it a good
