NOTICE!

The Krib is moving to a new location soon; the location will be disclosed when the hardware is in place. Thanks to all who contributed. When I deposited the checks (2/14), we had $666 of donations (no joke! I hope it is not an omen).

What's new?

A selected few of the more interesting pages kept here (which can also be found in the subject index above) include:

Planted Tanks (images and articles). Included are George and Karla Booth's tanks, my own, some newly-scanned photographs of Jim Hurley's fish and aquaria, and a couple of brand new low-tech discus tanks (Jean Opsomer and George Carr).
A quick test of Photo-CD for use in getting high-quality scanned images.

A statements of my plans for this place can be found here. Please read once! And for locals, check out the new Seattle aquaria page.
