woohoo on the cycle being done man....can't wait to see her in all her glory again
i hope this guy turns into a great LFS.....i'm so tired of bullshit people and ordering stuff online....i wanna see it
I'm thinking about buying a 29 gallon drilled from him and turning my 20 long into a sump for it............the 29 is the same dimensions, so my hood and lights will fit right on it .......gotta get a price from him first though ......he already said he is only gonna do high end stuff....so he doesn't have to deal with the "mommy i want a nemo" crowd - - - so we'll see if he prices himself out of business
strobe bar going on today .....i hope,lol
