She probably thought that it clearly is a commercial operation and you are going to get rich!

Just kidding David, can't wait to see all this up and running.

She saw inside while passing by. That was a close one. Think she was so impressed she forgot to ask what it cost.

Oh, she was thinking it, no doubt. She's just afraid to ask haha

Not going to make a lot of money but maybe a few friends here and there. Never about the money if it was
I would not do it this way. Pay for my salt and test kits works for me.

As our good friend and the breeder of 2 of our dogs always says: you can make a small fortune breeding dogs, as long as you start with a large fortune.

That is like a guy told me. He made a small fortune in the stick market. When asked how he did it. He stared with a large fortune [emoji12]

Rocks been running and seeded 3 to 4 weeks now. Tank build 4 is been running a week. All parameters checked good
this morning and is now full of corals. Probably add fish on Monday. This is only possible because Im running existing
water from the rest of my 2000 gal system and from the common 200 gal sump.

Just came from David's not too long ago and it is amazing what he has done with the space! Tanks look amazing and the transformation has been incredible.

Cody said it was tooooo short for him. but I still believe he could dunk his head in even standing flatfooted.
Havent decided for sure on this one. My 2 thought were long term acclimation for large expensive fish.
maybe a blue spot stingray. One of my friends want me to get a Mhalide over it and make a frag tank out of it.
Sounds like work to me. Maybe I should take a vote whats ya ideas for this one.
