I, too, have the great spaceship-landing-blue-light-special emanating from a room in my home. It wasn't 2 weeks until I got a knock on the front door...2 policemen, and their doggy!

Needless to say my cats didn't like the dog.

The police were nice, though. They thought it was funny -- and then got interested in reefing!

Just goes to show you: being a reefer is an incredibly addictive and expensive habit..err..hobby.

I wasn't home during the inspection, but I've been told there was a paper served which I suppose was the warrant. An SCE field engineer was there too. The "inspection" didn't take more then a couple of minutes so I'm told. They did see my aquarium before they decided to leave. To be fair, I'm not sure what they were there for. I guess that is kinda scary now that I think about it. Still, I wouldn't throw around the word Nazi ;)

On the Birght side (no pun intended) Set up a reef tank in the living room. and the hydroponic "garden" in the basement. Run your garden lights opposite your tank lights. when the man shows up tell the flat foots you run the reef lighting 24/7 cuz you want max coral growth.

I was a cop for several years and I even got jokes from other officers wondering what "that glow was"? I got accused of growing pot on a regular basis, all in fun of course.

This is pretty funny. My husband took the dogs out late one night for a walk down the alley, and there was a swat team behind our house. The guy was HUGE. My husband said "yes, can I help you ?" and the guy said, "training exercises....if you see my team jump your fence, just ignore them.... :lol:

The second time, a cop came to our front door on the guise of selling a calendar that no one I know ever heard of. He spent some time with us talking about the house next door being up for rent, and met all our dogs, etc...

Our neighbors go nuts when we have frag days. 8O

I live in the woods, so the cops have not visited, even though I have crazy electric bills. Thread makes for interesting reading though!

Did a google search to get more info about lighting my reef, and came apon a sight very similar to this one, except it was all about growin' pot indoors.

The electric utilities phoned stating that our elec bill was very high. She asked if I would mind if they sent over an inspector. With a smirk I said ok. He had one look at my pool pump, tank setups and 30 bulb chandelier (always on- wife and kids, not me :wink:) and said "yeah that will explain it" and left quite disappointed. He wasn't here for 30 seconds. BTW the chandelier sucks more power than anything. Maybe I should put it on a timer or even better, disconnect the switch.
