you serve your country and the Iraqis hit you with a roadside bomb you are quickly retired out of the servce when you can no longer use your right hand. lol I wish I won the lottery but just the opposite.

 

[H20ENG]

I'd have guessed military as well. I'm glad you made it home alive, and thank you for your service my friend.

 

[H20ENG]

Jason's a good buddy of mine and I've known him for quite a while now. I've seen him put many tanks together, all with the same quality of James at Envision Acrylics. I know that stand, tank, and sump are built for an eternity of reefing. I heard you got a deal on that skimmer too. Good luck with the build.

putting the tank together with one hand just makes me enjoy it so much more... lol

 

[Jar*Head]
