Here is a webpage (actually is an estore website) with a list of
major pond and aquatic suppliers website etc on it. I have found it
usefull in the past. It does NOT have Lagunas telephone or website on
it, however I would think if one just saves that webpage to their
computer you could always add Laguna to it. I frequently do that with
a lot of websites that have manufactuyeres etc listed.
