Hi guys, it's good to know that there are some traders in Texas. I have been to Saltwater Paradise many times and they do have many selections, but the prices there and pretty much anywhere else is a killer. I'm in Euless and there's a pet place in Hurst called Pet-O-Roma. It's a hugh store and have good selections of corals. I'm kind of new to the coral scene and if any of you guys have too much of something and need to get rid of it, pls. let me know. I'll be glad to take anything.

Here's a short list of some really great places within 45 minutes from Euless...
Fish Warehouse, on Carson off of Hwy-121
The Fish Gallery, on Mockingbird Ln. in Dallas
Dallas North Aquarium, on Trinity Mills in Carrolton. I got a Torch Coral and button polyps on a pretty big chunk of Live Rock for $5 each there.
Tranquil Scapes, off Hwy-360 and Abrams, about 10 minutes away from Euless and probably my favorite store so far. The staff is excellent, very talkative and helpful and willing to please their customers. They have a ton of corals, and they will sell you frags for really cheap. I got Purple Ricordia, Green Ricordia, and Green Star Polyps for $5 each.
Hope that helps.

I forgot to add... anyone on here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area should check out DFWMAS online. It is the local Marine Aquarium Society and they have monthly meetings so all of us DFW marine fanatics can socialize and swap frags and get helpful info from each other, and tour each others tanks, etc. There is a meeting at the Irving Bible Church on January 28th. It's actually a seminar called "Next Wave" where there will be a few experts giving discussions on certain elements of the hobby, food, fellowship, and all else that goes along with putting coral crazy people together in the same room. The only downer to that is it is $35 per person, but it does run from 9AM to 5PM with food included!
Marc, aka MELEV is the President of DFWMAS and is the best resource for aquarium keepers in Dallas/Fort Worth. His website rocks! www.melevsreef.com
Hope I'm not violating the message board rules, just trying to be as much help as I can to my fellow DFW hobbyists.
