Re: [APD] Gypsum



Well, when it is distinctly stratified and compressed, yes,
that can be a problem.

You don't want to know what else some guys do during house
construction, but if you are moving into a new home, it's a
good idea to flush the drains.

So far it looks like this might be the biggest year ever for Aquascaping Contest entries from countries outside of North America. 

Share the fun; show your work.
The AGA's 6th Annual International Aquascaping Contest is open.

The deadline for submissions to the AGA Aquascaping contest is September 15.

Entries are only $5 and for that half a sawbuck you can have your AGA entry automatically entered in the ADA (Aqua Design Amano) contest for free, a savings in time and shipping costs!
