I would not trust that guy to "help" me with anything. Even eggcrate.

I can't imagine why the 3 large groupers he caught didn't survive in his 30 gal. They total fit.

Yup. Being a cabinet maker I have people every now and then want to show me the kitchen "they built themselves"--- most of the time, when I answer their questions "well how does this look!?" I can only give a half-answer. "Yeah, man, that looks great (from the highway)". Or the ever-true "Man that looks good (enough for government work)"

Man. And I've been buying all that high dollar custom mix salt from Get Tanked. Think of all the freshwater wrasses I could have bought with the savings!
I sure hope these fresh water acros like Oyster Feast. Quote:

I once had a HD "plant specialist" ask me if Ladybugs were plants. None of the three "specialists" knew what mealybugs were either.
 This surprises me not. |

I was buying PVC glue, and fittings from the hardware store 1 time and the guy asked what it was for. So I told him a SW tank. He then says oh, those fittings won't work for a fishtank. I said, I think i'll be OK. After that the guy started being a huge jerk for some reason, insisting the fittings were not going to work. So I finally said fine I'll go some where else.
