    Clark County Sherrifs office paid me a visit. They got a call from one of my neighbors who evidently thought that I was growing pot in my garage and liked to keep my garage door up to advertise to the world. LOL. He rang my bell and said, " This is going to sound dumb, but do you mind showing me what you're growing in the garage?" I said, "Sure" and opened up the garage door to reveal my breeding room. 12- 48" VHO lights, 2- 400 watt mh. That ought to do it. LOL The deputy got a good laugh at it and checked out all my pairs of fish and corals. I was wondering how long it would be, only I thought it would be the power company that would send 'em out and not one of my neighbors. This ever happen to any of you??

    NICE. I bet the neighbor feels like a doofus. Ahh, I wouldn't be pissed at the neighbor, sounds like someone was just looking out for their neighborhood. ;D

    I take it he did not find the secret button under the skimmer? LOL!

    My neighbors don't call the police, they just ask me when is the first batch going to be ready.

    I don't know what it is about people seeing bright blue lights coming from your house makes them think your growing illegal substance.

    atleast you were not making donuts in your garage, you would have been busted for sure!

    Good one!! Yeah, the power company has caught many a pot grower here in Florida. I'm surprised they haven't said anything about my light bill :)

    I get some funny looks when i'm hauling shop lights from my car into the apartment for the FW tanks. I think the neighbors are worried i'm going to compete with them or something.

    Anyway my fish are way more addicting than what they're growing anyway :p.
