Re: [Killietalk] Couple of questions

Hi John!

Actually I'm only 70 miles south of Chatt in Cartersville, not sure you
could classify me as a killinut<G> but I'm always looking to add something
'different' to the stock, and working on expanding tank space this year as
well. Planning to add another 120-150 gallons of freshwater, perhaps more as
soon as I get another tank rack built. It's all about time and money of
course LOL!! Come on down anytime, I'd love to meet ya, and let me know as
you get your fish ops ramped up!

Karen
