I think you should talk to the head honcho, state your feelings, say you would consider going elsewhere otherwise. Don't close doors until all the ducks are in a row.

Pictures are always over saturated, prices are over inflated and the hype is always anticlimactic. But maybe that's just me.

Default day off

Tried to chill on a day off but ended up building a beautiful cedar canopy for my reef. girlfriend is questioning my priorities. It's tough being in a relationship when the other half doesn't share my addiction!

Please read your post over about three or four times, look at your girlfriend then your tank, back to girlfriend, then back to tank. Time to decide.

Hes the kind of guy that's not afraid to call a bluff, he has fired guys for doing stuff like that before, but don't get me wrong he's a good boss.

Haha ya

"Why can't I put a Lt anemone in your tank that's packed full of sps and is only 15gallons?"

Also it gets a lot more expensive and a lot more work when they're into it

For example my wife is making me build her a custom 2' cube tank and wants single piece euro bracing and an external overflow box

I go to Rich's (blinks) house and my gal decides I need some acans and colourful scolys. i leave her in the car when its time to pay. She likes the reef but thinks it is a money pit. Don't they all

Back from our hiking trip. Trail was gruelling to go to Love Lake but the view was worth it. I'll get some pics up when they're downloaded. Anyway a friend had posted this clip that I thought was good. Thankfully we didn't encounter any carnivorous friends...
