How do you tell who's house in the neighborhood has a reef tank running???

[davocean]

There's 2 houses on our lot.
My landlord was looking at the meters, " huh, this one isn't working...oh wait, there it goes, but muuuch slower than the other. The slower must be your smaller house Dave"
I just smiled and kept my mouth shut.
He still thinks my 90g was a big deal, he doesn't even realize I bumped to 180g!
And when he saw meter, I was running both to cycle b4 swap.

You can tell I am a reefer, because I am always dumping buckets of water in the yard.

When doing water changes I would just have a line going outside. So whenever I did them I would have a damp yard. Also this past summer tring to hide that I was using water I wasn't suppose to was a tricky thing to do. It was during the droughts when we werent suppose to use water.

I have a deck on the front and on the back. I have found no better weed killer to keep me from mowing/slashing/grabbing the weeds out from under them. Maybe we could sell our used water to landscapers?

If you think about it, a marine fish tank is kinda like active camoflague for ganj growers . Just hide the growroom behind the tank.

Too funny! You can see my son's nano through his bedroom window, even though it's on the second floor. There's no question it's a fish tank, so I expect no visits from Sheriff Roscoe P. Coltrain.

If I catch a hint of a tank as I'm driving through the neighborhood, I can't help but slow down and take a quick glance. Invariably, it's freshwater :-(

It is alot of fun to walk around our neighboorhood and figure out which houses have reef tanks by the glow. It is also a good way to meet your neighboors.

My wife and I bought a new house last year. I pushed for the one that was next to the house with the blue lights. It was a BIG ora - I almost knocked on the door to see if the guy wanted to trade frags.

Do IT... Knock , Knock ?!!!

Unfortunately, we bought a different house. I would have to drive halfway across town to do so.

I look for the "reefer glow"... you know, the glow of actinic or halide shining through a window. When I'm picking something up from a local reefer's house, I use directions to get onto the street and then try to find the house by the glow.

Guess which apartment is mine:

I was wondering about this lol. For now, The jones's will just think I'm one happy xmas guy with totally blue lights shining through my front window (that of which I do house a totally blue lit tree). But after the holidays, the E.T-like glow will still prevail. I might have to get black blinds becaue the glow is so immense lol

[AquaKnight407]

House with big front bay window, sweet! Putting tank in front room, cool. Having your house act as a street lamp, not the best...

[A.T.T.R]

best tip for stoping the glow out the windows..

use tap water

in a few months your front glass will have so muh algae that no light will shine in



i have a lot of lights in my garadge in a condo. and an ac unit in the attic( you can hear itfrom the street) also sometimes i open the door when the halides are on and im messing around in there IM WAITING FOR SOME ONE TO ASK if im growing pot. or better yet... if i want to trade some frags

[phenom5]

In general somebody who grows illegal things indoors doesn't do it in their livingroom, on the first floor, with the blinds open..... anyways I have been told by an officer (my neighbor is one) when I asked about the subject. His reply "if there aren't any leafy shadows then its 99.9% a fish tank."

that was my thought when people started talking about growing weed...

They aren't stupid

that wasn't.
