    Really tiny pigs... Pot Belly pigs typically get to 120-150 lbs, Teacup pigs max out in the 50-70 lb range. Our nano pigs will be in the 15-25 lb range full grown. Our largest sow is weighs 7 1/2 lbs at 6 months. She's about as tall as a Coke can now.

    The other business is an Advertising Speciatly company that we own. We custom print all the millions of things that you see with companies names on them. Along with this we do screen printing and embroidery.

    I don't really notice much of a smell with the pigs. They are by nature extremely claen animals. I propably helps that they are tiny some there is less pig to smell. The bottom line is that our Chesapeake Bay Retrievers are much stinkier than the pigs (that's probably why the pigs get to come inside and the Chessies stay outside).

    Just finished your thread, great tank! Mine is only a year old moving very slow, its terrible about where you are at now, but I'm sure you'll rebuild. I understand now what amount of work a reef tank can be I can only imagine your situation. I'll continue to check on your thread, I've really enjoyed it and learned a few things as well. Wish you luck and good reefing to ya!!

    My tank is empty...

    But thank you anyway.

    0220 EST and I'm just now leaving work. Hopefully the next 30 hours of call will be kinder. I need to rest up if I'm going to get the replacement tank back up and running.
