I will see if I can design some for your fish.
Hope we get some rain this fall, we are still behind in totals. I love it when it rains does a nice pond flush.

We would love to have some of that rain here. If you had not heard, Indianapolis is in a drought. We have had less than 1.5" of rain since June. And near record heat for a lot of the summer. Luckily water is pretty cheap here. I have been averaging $55 a month on the water bill. About $25 over average.

Good advice.
Orgon sounds like a mythological place the Hobbit's would visit :mad:
