Thank you for your candor, Robert. And I would guess that you don't have
compressed CO2 and that you would not buy a $30 plant. Which means you
are not part of the PTH market. Notice I did not say you are not
interested in planted tanks. I said from a marketing perspective you are
not a prospect for high end equipment or high end plants. That is not a
criticism. It's just a fact that people who are trying to bring us
specialized products need to wrestle with.
