HAHAHAHAHA atleast im not the only one!!!!!
When I upgraded my tank to 2-250wMH w/ 4 PC lighting from 2 48" T5s, doubled up on heaters, got a bigger skimmer, and tripled my flow my power useage almost doubled in a month. Combine that with buying my own RO/DI unit and not buying bottled water my water useage increased by over 40%. I had 2 police officers knock on my door with 2 more outside looking around... They said that there has been such a massive increase in useage and there had been reports of excessivly bright lights from my windows that they suppected I had a grow op in my place. I laughed in there face and just said ill show you why! I showed the 2 officers to my tank and explained everything simple stupid for them. I know I could have made a big deal out of it and told them to get a warrent but I didnt wanna start anything and it was over in 30 min and havnt heard anything since and that was over a year ago. Altho I can see there point as kindersley has a MASSIVE drug issue

The South Surrey guy is a friend from BCAquaria and his tanks are fw. Imagine if they were sw. Granted he has a lot of tanks...
I had another friend who invited his neighbour who was in the RCMP over just to show him the tanks and metal halide lights in order to hopefully avoid these kinds of surprise visits from Big Brother.

Good thing I don't live there with all my tanks, indoor pool, full suit in basement and running my shop they would be at my gate every month AND WOULD HAVE TO HAVE A WARRENT. They shouldn't have the right to force repairs especially if he was not financially able to do so. Notify his insurance company so if his house burns do to an electrical fire he has no coverage. Goverment just keeps finding ways to invade our privacy hence why I have a big gate, lots of dogs an well lets say something a little extra.

I want to help this guy out get some LEDs! When i got my tank up with MH, I always wondered/joked that someone was going to come knock on my door because of all the light and huge increase in electrical bills! Its interesting that it actually happened to someone!

Wow, when you read the fire cheif saying: “When we get in there, the operators have pulled out all the plants and left,” said Garis. He also said he can’t remember a single inspection that led to criminal charges.
“Possibly in the early days there were charges, but I’m not aware of any,” said Garis. It is really pointing towards a cash grab, and away from caring about public safety. I should also add I have had a very nice officer check out my tank on a report that it was a grow op. He agreed that anyone considering a grow op in their hallway, where my tank was, would not have the IQ to grow plants. You could see the tanks from my front step.
