Re: NFC: Just a few things from the bucket boy...Oh Boy Another Trip!!



If your a member and need a few things to set up a small fish farm or like
myself I am a student member ($20.00 a year) and can drop in most any time
it's good for me.  I use it as much as I can around here.   Now where Chris
is setting up systems in his line of work, then it would be good for him to
drop in ( from the center of somewhere~(:>))), and price things, that would
be good for him.   They do sell to hobby types and you can save money that
away, but to drive from Gainesville, no.  They have good deals for members;
like the book, Fish Disease by Edward J. Noga for $99.00 stuff like that.
