I really appreciate all of the support. This pond/pool project has a lot of factors coming together to make this whole thing happen. I think it all started with my Biologist father. My sister has actually written me a letter asking I my wife divorced me yet and that my dad owes her an apology because these are his genes that are being expressed with this project. I spent countless summers in Minnesota tagging along behind him while he was censusing birds and studying the prairies. I would find the closest pond, river or marsh and start looking for frogs, fish, crayfish, or whatever. I was always fascinated with water and whatever was in it. Now I'm all grown up and I still have that desire to be around water. The only difference is that I have a wife and two little kids. My wife wanted a regular chlorine pool with a heater, zero algae, and zero or less animal life. I wanted the largest fish possible and the opportunity to be right next to them. I guess you will all see how this project evolves and what we eventually end up with. Oh by he way, I can't figure out how to get the frican favorite fish by my avatar changed. Like I just really love the Crayfish. I just saw that it changes. Now its the Senegal Bichir.
