I had so many people ask me to forward the FAQ that I decided
to just post it.  I don't know if it's the most recent or not.




    Introduction to FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) for *.aquaria 

The monthly posting to rec.aquaria and alt.aquaria will consist of this 
introduction followed by the FAQ in four additional postings.

The FAQ (and any other useful information that is submitted) will be 
available through anonymous FTP on s3camel.scubed.com (192.31.63.74), 
located in San Diego, California.  Login through ftp with 'anonymous' as
your username.  If you don't mind, please enter your email address for 
the password. The FAQ files are located in the directory /aquaria,  and 
they currently consist of the following:

Rev 1.2   10/4/91

A few other minor administrative changes.

Rev 1.1	  6/19/91

Minor administrative changes, ran it through a spelling checker.

Collected the contributors names and addresses into a "phone book" at the
end of this file.  This will make it easier to change addresses when people
move around, as the address is only listed in one place.

Rev 1.0   3/23/91

UPDATE NOTES:  What's changed in the FAQ:
-------------
I thought I would just write this when I enter new stuff into the
four part FAQ.  The newest set of the FAQ (dated 3/23/91) contains:

-    stuff about moving aquaria,
-    yet another modification of the protein skimmer description
     (will we ever get this right :-)
-    a brief (very very brief) description of the history behind
     *.aquaria
-    useful data on weight/volume of water
-    brief description of air pumps
-    miscellaneous stuff.

You may notice that I've begun to include names (and addresses) of
other authors.  I did not include this practice when we were just
booting up because it would have been too confusing, and there were
quite a lot of contributors.

If you would like to be included in a list of contributors (and be
famous through posterity), please re-email me.  (Unfortunately, to
conserve disk space and preserve sanity, I purged old inputs).

Thanks to y'all.
