What a crazy day!!!Start the day by drilling a couple holes in a tank for a customer at my house. I show up at the shop at 11am for what I thought would be a fairly busy day. I didnt fully understand the magnitude of what was coming. First of all I should say that this shipment is the shipment we were talking about three weeks or so ago at the frag swap. Flights had been cancelled and delays of one kind or another had pushed it back until today. So the build up and anticipation had been killing me. Kevin got the call at around noon and left me at the shop to head for the airport. There was only one customer milling about the shop when Kevin got back with the goodies and we opened the first box. A couple of emotion choking moments followed as we waited for the customer to leave. Then there was about an hour of giddy school-boy type behavior as we opened up each bag. We are astonished at the size of these pieces. Most are around 3-5" tall and a couple came in at 6"+.So after that hour Kevin posted this thread and less than an hour later the steady wave of sps pillagers started coming in. The afternoon was CRAZY busy. Guess the word got out. We got about a 1/2 hour break in the action just before close. What a fun day! Im such a reef geek I love this "job".


ps. still lots left havnt sold out of anything yet. store is open 11-6 tomorrow.
