Hammers
This were taken today after about a hour in our tanks at work.
Also A FYI for ya all. Where I work wes hit by vandals this weekend. We have about 1200 gallons of fish only tanks and we had someone sabatoge our system and kill literally thousands of dollars in fish. But to those who think we are down we are here to stay and will come back stronger than ever. Look at this and tell me who is down. I dont mean to ramble but I am just upset at loosing all those beauties we had on saturday and poof because of someones anger because we are new or whatever the reason I think it is (scuze me) BULLSH**. Any ways keep inmind this pic was taken after an hour of being outa the shipping bags so they not quite open all the way but anyways enjoy.

Hey that looks kind of like my tank. I've got 6 big pieces of hammer and I've already sold 4 others. I'm really starting to not like the sight of Euphyllia. LOL
PS> If anybody around here (or anybody that wants to try shipping) wants hammer, let me know. I need to unload it somewhere.

If I had a hammer...
LOL Greg...is the "big pink" taking over the tank?
Jeff, I am saddened and sickened by what happened at your shop. I hear that Deep Sea Gallery had an incidence of vandalism as well  I called Woody and told him to keep a sharp eye out for troublemakers.
About 6 months before I met Woody someone poured bleach and laundry detergent in all his tanks, he lost everything. People are sick.

I have heard of people dropping pennies into sumps. "pocketing" fish and clams right out of the tank and walking out the door. Its crazy.

Stang, I'm really sorry to hear about the vandalism. I hope they catch the B@s+@#&s, not that the courts would do much if anything to them, but, at least you would know and could even do as Piero suggested....only feed him feet first! Oh, you could also do the web thingy, too.

Hey Jeff, I heard about it from Eric's e-mail. That sucks the big one. Hard to imagine someone doing that. You guys are so nice and providing a great service to all of us in the saltwater hobby by having a store in Kitsap county. Not like there's a lot of competition in the area. I know you guys will be back. I can't wait to see the coral tank. I'll get over there one of these days. It's tough now with that 2nd job. Oh well, more $$$ for fish. You know I have no willpower!!!!  Matt. |

Jeff, I was so focused on the hammers, I didn't catch the vandalism part. Some people are real #*$&heads.

Jeff,
Hope everything at the store is coming back together. It's a sad thing that there are such cruel inconsiderate people, but, unfortunately, we've got plenty of them.
Dick

i will never understand people that wantonly kill animals. Glad to see y'all weren't intimidated and are "coming back". Good idea with the cameras.
