Yeah, that's where the Aloha comes from. Been going there for years! I would probably be interested in the blue legs. Like I mentioned before, I'm just getting started, hoping to start cycling by the end of the month.
I don't know how fast things will grow, so it may be a bit before I will have anything to share, but I'd be interested in swapping when I am able.
BTW, does Cheboygan even have a fish store? I don't remember there being one.
I'll keep you posted! :)

I wondered. I couldn't remember a pet store anywhere around up there. If you can't get what you need at Wal-Mart, you're pretty much S.O.L. right? Don't know if you have lived there long enough to remember, but I still miss the old B&C and The Other Place. We've thought about wanting to move up there, but not a lot up there job wise and such. For now, have to be happy with visiting a few times a summer.
Yeah, our house is old too...built 1895...so we will have to do some reinforcing in order to go with a bigger tank. That's why I'm starting out small. Then again, as much as I have spent on that probably won't be able to afford anything else! lol.

B&C what i that... i have lived here four 5 years only.. this house only 9 months.. long story short.. this is my second house here in cheboygan.. bought first one with her.. big mistake. she got to keep house business and property and me i got nothing.. and i have you beat on the age think.. best estimate is they know my house was built before 1880 nobody can pin point the date.. but there has not been muc dont the house since then.. still no insulation in the walls.. still all the old plaster.. when i moved in the hole house was on one little 15 am breaker.. and as for jobs up here.. nope there aint any.. still looking for new one after getting laid off in nov.. but on the plus side i have time for the fish and to work on the house.. the down side.. no extra money to put into the house.
And as for walmart only thing i get for fish there is the krill for my puffer and flake food for my angels.. other than they they are pretty useless.

B&C was the name before it turned into Glens. That was awhile ago though, probably back in the 80's when I was a kid.
Your house sounds a lot like ours. The only way we have a date pinpointed at all is we uncovered some newspapers on the wall when we gutted it. Finally got it sided this year. Only took 7 years from start to finish!
We're in the maybe stage of a layoff. Hubby has a 50/50 chance, will know by the end of the month. Hope not, then I will have to pick up more hours and no extra $$$ for fishy stuff.
