I felt the satire with the first comment but the second almost seemed like you were harping on it.
Ive had this debate with lots of reefers though. According to the reefing community im not allowed to have a custom acrylic tank unless im gonna be reefing, but my petsmart EBAs love the tank regardless! It seems to me they feel the need to defend the ludicrous amounts of money they sink into the equipment and place themselves on some high pedestal, overlooking the lowly peasants with their pathetic freshwater fish and plastic braced tanks. Bow before my low iron glass and 18-compartment sump, philistines!
Not saying thats you though. I just enjoy pissing off the snobs ha!
