A day at the shop

boozeman · 10-22-2007, 02:46 PM

Yesterday I went to pick up my sump and frag tank at the acrylic fabrication shop(garage) of RichT. I got to see his fabrication skills first hand as he quickly added an extra brace, skimmer stand and drilled a few return holes for me

that's cool. I like the acrylic stuff, or the "non edge" tanks and such.

Oh DEAR! the gallonage police are coming my friend! you have exceeded New York state guide lines for in home aqua culture, send me the frag tank and they will go away lol. really nice stuff, double time man! lets GOOOOO!!!

Witfull · 10-23-2007, 12:22 PM

LOL, i had the police at my door once, asking what i was growing~

i said coral, and invited them in. a pot of coffee and an hour later they left. came back a few days later,,,with friends to see the tank.

moral of the story Robert; have coffee and doughnuts on hand when the police show up, then send them to see what bigfoot is actually growing in that "moss" tank LOLOL
