      You are welcome to come by and take a look at ours. It's just a simple frame made from 1x2's and faced with a sheet of luan. Our air compressor and nail gun made the job super easy and fast.

      Brian, that's the one Realty company that has the exemption. Nobody but him in real estate has permission to fly it commercially yet. That's the only reason I mentioned it to you just in case your industry may have the same restrictions.

      I don't have business cards, a website, registered business name or accounts so I'm just a hobbyist so FAA doesn't pertain to me. The cash I'm getting is towards gas. Lots and lots of gas.

      Pretty much any pharmacy will give the "oral" syringes if you ask.

      I don't even know how I'd find a fish in my sump. It drops into a muffler contraption in a back compartment I can't see into.

      The Goby found his way through some PVC elbos and tees, into and out of the filter sock, over a baffle and almost through the return pump. Something tells me he wouldn't have made it through that last part of his journey in one piece.

      I found my hippo tang in my filter sock. Since then the hippo has stayed away from the overflow grates.

  23. TOTM --Does it exist? Ever since I joined ARC 2 years ago there hasn't been an update to this and I have to go over to reef2reef to see inspiration from the best of the best. I know we have some awesome tanks in Austin so lets start it back up.

      We went to a Tank of the Quarter due to logistics. There is a lot that goes on behind the scence. We, the mods, are really spread thin. I know this sounds like a bunch of excuses. We are actively discussing how to make this happen. Check out the FTS thread. You'll find some great looking tanks!
