Thanks for all the links. I used to have a bunch of those links bookmarked, but they got lost somehow. Seeing all of the good links that have been posted, I will sticky this link and leave it here in the DIY area.

Thanks, we def. have enough to read. Those links will keep me very busy in Jan. right now I'm focusing on water chem. When the tax refund gets hear, well like I said I'll be very busy.
I was afraid to do my own sump when I joined. you all let me know how much I'd save and it's not as compl. as it looked to me. I want to thank every again. i can't afford to mess up and thanks to you I've proven myself to my family and me as well.
three years ago if you said I could figure out the ammonia cycle I would have asked why I'd want too.
Even though I was good in school science was my worst sub. I just didn't care. my 7th grade teacher Mr. hicks went out of his way to help and I managed to do a chromatography project. If you're on here thank you Mr. hicks and you'd be proud of how far I've came, I know I am. Just incase you are on here and don't remember I went to;
AFSL- the Academy for Science and Foreign Language is where it all began. I was going to belucksy, Mississippi for an oceanographer tour, sadly I couldn't go due to health reasons. i know now that if i had I would have started this years ago. like 1993, lol srry bit off subject
