Taking people's worries about said label seriously and spending hours looking up electrical codes.

That's awesome that you think answering questions for your customers is stupid!

I do find it a little stupid to spend large amounts of time to prove something that is known to be true as truth because of some silly goose starting a rumor about falsified certificates.

But it also seems to be something that was called for.. But as much as it is an annoyance i don't see the others who sell these pumps going to the hassle of confirming these certifications.

1.New to the trade and the first fish you buy is a mandarin dragonet
2. Upgrading your tank for this fish.
3. Letting a aquarist give you your first coral free.

My family thinks I'm a drug addict because of this hobby

Well I have a few about 10 years ago.

1, Laughing when my mother in law got a face full of water from an 8" maxima squirting her. Could have died on that one. LoL

2. Putting a 5" Volitans lionfish in with a 4" frogfish. The frogfish had it swallowed as far as the first dorsal fin. It eventually spat out the lionfish and everyone lived happily after.
