http://forum.aqua-fish.net/ A forum devoted to aquarium fish, plants, techniques and fish keeping as a whole. en http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=hello-from-alaska#1 I am Carol. I live on the outskirts of Fairbanks, Alaska. Fairbanks is about in the middle of Alaska. (Which by the way is 2 and 1/2 times the size of Texas!) It is about -20F right now. The sun came up about an hour ago. But we are on the gaining side of winter solstice now, and we will gain about 4 minutes a day of possilbe sunlight until summer. I live in a log cabin with my husband. We haul our water. I use Culligan water for my aquarium. It is not as difficult as you might think to keep an aquarium without running water, but it is a challenge. I just posted a topic in the Help section, as I think I really messed up and my fish are dying. If anyone can help please post a response! cmickelsen 2010-01-03 http://forum.aqua-fish.net/?topic=hello-from-alaska#2 Welcome to the forum, Alaska is one country I would love to visit.
