 CL>   My biggest problem is that I'm almost as bad about books as I am
 CL> about fish...worse, in fact, I live in a small studio apartment and I
 CL> rent two storage units (actually a little cheaper than a comperable
 CL> single unit...go figure!) to keep most of my belongings which include
 CL> something like 4000 records (Used to be a DJ), a couple thousand comic
 CL> books(collect those too), half-a-dozen or so orphaned computers(yup,
 CL> used to do that too) and eight full sets of encyclopedias and box
 CL> after box after box of science fiction and reference books.  Ah, to
 CL> own a house...
   Sounds like me,  had at one point about 8,000 comics, have about
   1,000 paperbacks, few 100 hard, 3 Pc systems (386/xt and C-128),
   throw in the Fish, and all the old equiptment from different tanks i
   have had, pumps, fake plants, diatom filter, etc and it is crowded
   even with a HOUSE.
 CL> brown nubs in short order. Fortunately the stuff grows like a weed and
 CL> that's because- surprise surprise- it is a weed!  Most of it is
 CL> collected in the wild or raised in vast private ponds and processed to
   If they did not grow fast, like weeds, the fish in wilds too would
   fast  use em up,  you might get say a 10 gal tank, and put
   plants in that, with some small fish like guppies, etc
  and replace  as needed, the plants in the big tank
  a kind of "plant raising" tank  opposite  of a breeding fish tank.
