Insider article

[Meisen]

Eric,

I just finished your Insiders article and I have to say that I thought it was one of your best to date. It made me crack up several times (not always a good thing when you are in the office "working"...try explaining why you the cost of a Tunze is funny to coworkers...). Thanks for your efforts!

It is a funny hobby. One of my biggest laughs was years ago when I had given my dad a 75 gallon tank of mine...he was setting up his first reef tank and was buying live sand. We were getting it from the Marshall Islands at the time, and it was soemthing like 6 bucks a pound. Apparently he went in to have lunch with some of his buddies and was trying to explain to them how he had imported sand from the Marshall Islands and their reaction, even moreso when they found he paid more per pound for sand than for shrimp or steak. Esepcially when they live on the Gulf Coast, with no shortage of sand. It was quite a riot.
