The worst of that flooding was in the Lake District, about 140 miles north of here, at Cockermouth. We've had lots of rain, but fortunately the water here doesn't collect, it thankfully runs away. .... 'Biblical' deluge that broke all the records.

How about let the Starfish roam the whole tank so you'd see him whether you had pan on or not?

That's planned, once the fish remodelling/behaviour has been completed and the remodelled transition for the star from sand to glass has been developed to Jim's satisfaction. The modifications in that plus the new fish behaviour should provide a sufficient base for being able to implement roaming for the star. At least that's the hope.

Would we get any kind of notification if the starfish on glass option was put back in?
