RE: AIR PUMPS

Thanks RJ,
   Two weeks ago I built a nursery for my fry.  Since wood is very 
expensive here, I only built a wooden frame and put 3/4 inch 
styrofoam around it and over this, I put a plastic sheeting.  My front 
door of this thing is made from styrofoam with plastic sheeting 
around it.  I thought my $6. pump would be quiet behind all this, 
but it wasn't.  I have ringing in the ears for some time now and the 
hum didn't help it.  I wanted to hatch my bbs in the nursery giving a 
gentle flow of air around the nursery.  I put a heater in a two liter 
container of sand - heat for the winter months - I don't like sleeping 
in a warm room in winter - and the fry seem to grow better in a 
warmer climate.
   The next time I'm in the store I'll check the whisper pumps out.  
Thanks.
   And now I can use my air conditioning unit without bothering the 
fry.  I often wondered how killie keepers heated such small 
containers of fry, and now I know.  This whole thing cost me about 
50 dollars, but a couple of Sundays ago I sold that amount of killies 
in Cincinnati, so I'm ok.
   Right now I have about 1000 fry in a number of sizes.  When they 
get too big for the nursery, I put them into plastic shoe boxes.
   I'm thinking of cutting back on some of my aquariums this year.  
I made about 15 - 3gallon aquariums a couple of years ago.  I'm 
thinking of selling 7 of them this month to our new university 
students who will be coming here in a couple of weeks for school.  
What do you think would be a fair price?  They are very clean and 
clear except for a water line that I can't get out.  I even thought of 
including a pair of killies with each one.
   I would appreciate your imput,
   Bro. Paul
