lol. I'm not sure how to send it out, or how much it would cost to ship... but I'd send it to free to whomever wants it, just so long as they pay for shipping. I'm going to throw out the brown parts, and probably keep the green/flourishing parts for a while. I'm sure that after spring break, I'm going to be broke for a while. lol.

I read all about hornwort, and duckweed(which I was considering getting as a floater...). They're definitely not going down a drain, etc... The only thing I've let go down the drain is a pond snail that was in the water when I did a water change.... it drained too fast for me to get out... hopefully they don't multiply in the sewers.... and mutate. lol.

All but the 15 gallon have the bulbs they came with. All I know is that they're 15 watt incandescent bulbs. If I manage to find the time, I'm going to get some 15 watt flourescent bulbs, if I can find any... I've found some 25w, but I think 15w is all my hoods can handle. Just to make sure... Flourescent give a bluer (brighter, more natural IMO) tint, and incandescent have the more yellow light, right?
