Where is Phils? I'd KILL for some awesome pulled pork. Haven't had good BBQ since I was down south last year...

A very BAD idea to use brass.
+1 on the nylon barb. If its a funky size that you can't get at HD/Lowes/ETC try custom aquatic. They have a few different sizes sometimes.
Thanks!
Uhhh, a LOOOOONG time. We literally sat down with graph paper, made a floor plan, cut out a bunch of little cardboard squares that were the scaled down footprint size of our tanks, sumps,...
It seems that our initial plan of Valentines Day may have been a little optimistic, but we're still pushing for it. (What an amazing amount of work this has been !) We'll keep everyone updated...
So the word is out... We are in SD now, and in the old SWI location. Kind of strange, considering we have never even met the guy. We moved here purely by coincidence. (The land lord was a little...
Like I said, it's the Big Kids store!
This was one long day... Breaking down the show tank at the old shop...
5 Gallon bucket of Undata anyone?

This is one way to...
This thing is absolutely insane! There is roughly 35lbs. of media in this bad boy! Notice how it dwarfs the salt bucket next to it...

Thanks for the props everybody! There is still quite a bit to finish around here before we'll be set for the big party. We're looking at roughly Valentines Day for completion without factoring in...
We're designing this place as the Big Kids store... 48" high makes for awesome viewing!
So the new shop is coming along quite well... Here's a little sneak peak of what we have been up to... And will be up to for the next couple months.
This was one of the many trips for plumbing......
While knee-deep in the new shop build, we are in dire need of chaetomorpha. We are willing to trade frags/corals/etc to anyone who has LOTS of it. Sorry folks, but a handful is not going to help...
Give us a shout when your up in Newport if you want to chill.
Dave my friend, I had to re-read everything here, just to make sure I wasn't trippin'. I kept waiting for a punchline, like it was some lame joke... Hope everything works out okay for you, and by the...
My experiences also. I have fed a 5" chocolate chip to him, and he'll pull him right off the glass and drag him around for about a week. We usually feed him about once a month, so it gives him time...
Love playing with the new camera, and here are a few new close ups...

Always, always, ALWAYS glue both sides of your joint. We learned this the hard way, too. Christies Red Hot Blue is our weapon of choice. Hands down, the best thing we have found to cut PVC is a Ryobi...
Thought somebody might enjoy this... This was taken on 5/24. Look at the growth in almost 2 months...

And why not, a few more...

With the handy new waterproof camera, I thought I'd update some newer pictures...

The biggest problem I thought I might have with the pipefish, was the flow. I am POUNDING water through my tank, and they do fine. They are seen swimming around in the water column frequently. The...
