    So this stuff we do is finally hitting CNN.
    Maybe we can get some kind of tax break on our expensive equipment for helping the environment :)

    You know, the tax does add up on expensive equipment. Time to write my congressman.

    Nice article, and something I hope to do down here in San Diego. Except it'll be a mad scientist garage rather than basement. :)

    Post back on whether you hear about any organizations that are helping or tax benefits. I've been building my fish and coral propogation project and it would be nice to catch a break somewhere. Lol. Good luck. Great post
