    Aquastar cartridge filters

    I am interested in knowing more about this new cartridge filter as well. If their marketing is anywhere close to accurate, it looks like a winner. I'm surprised there are scant independent reviews at this point.

    Flyte Deck II Dive Stand

    I have that stand as well. It is rigid. The only flex should come from the board, and S.R. Smith's compatible boards have little bounce apparently by design. My board, which I'm in the process of replacing, is 8 feet. I just managed to get the board off, and discovered the fiberglass stand...
