Notable Quotes

My interest was first in corals and then when the corals were growing I took on the fish but the problem with the fish is they ruined the corals.

The best control is natural control. It's the very best control.

When the glass broke. I'm sitting in the kitchen and my feet were 2 inches of water.

I mix up big cubes of brine micus roticus cre plankton and I mix them up five times a day. And I put a little bit of poly.

I don't spend hardly any time in this room today. I spend time in it, but I test products. I'll keep it safe.
