    Making a difference in the hobby

    I received an email the other day from the Pre-K teacher whose classroom has a 20l which I donated and maintain (thanks to Batfish, Frank Cowherd and Viktor for donating flora and fauna). Anyhow, the email included a photo of her students nose to glass as they observed the tank. That got me...
