I would love too, but my eldest kid hasn't missed a day of school for the last 4 years. She refuses to. Has gone to school sick as a dog... IDK what is wrong with her. I would jump on any chance to miss a day

That skimmer is gigantic! I wonder if someone has to physically go in the skimmate section to clean it, that would be nasty

They have 4-5 tanks all of them pretty small but that one in the picture has to be at least 400 gal!

That thing is a beast, it's got to be a bad job cleaning that up but I would gladly take that job if I would get a job there! Lol

Sounds like a CR field trip is in order

It would be cool if we can organize a trip and get some type of behind the scenes tour!
