Kei9th...... so far as long as i check with the real boss she lets me do what i want ....with in reason....lol if i was allowed to go ape, there would be 10 tanks in the house .............so she keeps me baslanced ....im very thankful for such a great woman

shouldn't you / we be workin.....lol

woohoo on the cycle being done man....can't wait to see her in all her glory again

i hope this guy turns into a great LFS.....i'm so tired of bullshit people and ordering stuff online....i wanna see it

I'm thinking about buying a 29 gallon drilled from him and turning my 20 long into a sump for it............the 29 is the same dimensions, so my hood and lights will fit right on it .......gotta get a price from him first though ......he already said he is only gonna do high end stuff....so he doesn't have to deal with the "mommy i want a nemo" crowd - - - so we'll see if he prices himself out of business

strobe bar going on today .....i hope,lol

i've actually got a pretty scratched up 55 in the basement that i could practice on .....good idea

what kinda Kawasaki stuff.....lol - - i like "stuff"

i didn't mean he wasn't gonna carry clowns....i meant he doesn't wanna deal with people that are buying to shut a kid up...he wants serious aquarist only as customers........for example..........he says he won't sell a mandarin to a customer unless he knows the person and knows their tank, because of the food issues people always seem to have and end up starving them to death.......but we'll have to wait and see if he turns down a dollar to save a fish now won't we.........lol

Do it! Go with the 29! Its a pretty nice dimension tank. I want a larger tank so I can save the Purple Tang at petco.........hes in this tiny tank and is not happy, so I want to save this beautiful fish! I have to get the tank first. And before I get the tank I have to get my stand built......and before I do that I have to get the money. :)
