| The 175 Bow Front aka (The excuse for Vicki Dating Me) Ok as you can tell by the title this was the excuse. Anyway, Vicki belonged to a rogue Reefing Club that I was banned for life from. Subsequently, now that Vicki is dating me, she too is banned for life as well. Oh wait, let’s go back a little further in time. When I first had contact with Vicki online. She was looking for a 125 with Dual corner OF’s. I had a customer of mine who I had just upgraded his 125 (ironically the exact tank Vicki wanted) to a custom 360 degree View tank. I was going to sell it to her with an oak stand & canopy for $250.00. She thought about it for awhile & then decided she didn’t have the money for it. Well a few months later like around the end of November I had another customer that had a Oceanic 175 Bow front complete minus rock sand & water for sale. It was $1650.00 more than the 125. The tank complete setup was $3600.00, which she offered $1800.00 my customer said $1900.00 less what was in it. So the price tag was $1900.00. I later found out it was a gift for her mother. Well my 12 year old son & I delivered the tank to her getting lost along the way. Time went buy before the installation & planning. During this time Vicki & I came up with some rather unique & interesting Ideas on the plumbing, and started dating.
This chronicle is very photo intensive as you will see. Vicki really likes to take pictures |
