dr exum dr exum Thank you. I think many people have LOTS more fish, and hundreds of tanks vs our measly 16 tanks. Ohio Fish Rescue, for one, is far bigger of course. Ted from Seattle used to be bigger too ... We thought we'd open this year, just as we thought every year, for 7 years, since 2015, goes to show you how much we know. We are clueless, wide-eyed, naïve bunnies. ... The government found two more hoops for us to jump through - Site Improvement Plan and Change or Use Permit, which will cost at least 6-10 months and tens of thousands of dollars (may be even 30K-50K) because we must hire an engineering firm. We are currently trying to determine how much the whole process from where we stand to the opening for business will cost us because we may or may not be able to afford it. We've come to and are balancing on the edge and chances of quitting are 50%... after 11 years of working on trying to open a little humble DIY Educational Aquarium. Sooner or later the bleeding must be stopped or patient dies.

S santori Thank you. We publish videos every day and some of them contain FTS but not all. There is also a video of how this tank was built 2.5 years ago. Would you like a link? Or search our vids by "1800" - the gallonage of the tank.
