Hmm.. I haven't gotten any e-mail from you lately.

In my opinion, the guide is well worth the cost. What can you get for under $5 that could save you hundreds if it helps you avoid a huge mistake and kill a bunch of crayfish (like I did) because you don't know what you're doing.

As for the scuds, the link in your post about "The Lowly Scud" here http://www.diyaquaponics.com/forum/s...THE-LOWLY-SCUD still works (click here): http://woaat.org/shoppe/shop/aquatic...quatic-shrimp/ so I didn't even think to look for them in the "store".

It is cooler up here in the frozen tundra, but it's no big deal when (or even if) they arrive, I have some scuds - I just wanted to "boost" my population and help out with the cost of running the site. :P
