    I just have no luck it seems, I got laid off yesterday. There seem to be no jobs in my field, as I've been looking for about 3 months now. I'm looking for other jobs, but who knows whats out there.

  5. 245 Gallon Display and Breeding Room Build Plans

    Now the my cousin and I got the 245 gallon reef down stairs. (see http://www.reefaddicts.com/entry.php/767-Moving-the-new-245-G-with-2-people for details). I can explain what prompted my to do this and some preliminary plans. About a month ago we had our second child and decided to finish the basement.
