speaking of texans, does anyone in houston want to come over and help me set up my sump? I'm having issues. I think I bit off more than I can handle.

I am callin in from Clear Lake. Ya know I am intrested in any new info about saltwater stores around here. I am limited to a place in Texas city and *****. I am really disapointed in ***** anyway due to the fish being brought in with ich and parisites :jumping: . They are so into money hungry policys that fish are just another SKU on the shelf. Anyone got a cool place to purchase fish?

Hey, Checking in from Longview..1 hour west of LA. I moved here 6 months ago from Tampa and haven't re-set up my 150 yet because I only have a PET** and a local store that carries expensive junk. I am even willing to drive into LA to find a good store. How is the market in Tyler? I was really spolied in FL being so close to the gulf etc. Prices were much cheaper and I can't imagine what it would cost to remotely duplicate what I had there. Any advise would be great!!

Here in Tyler we now have 2 stores with SWF. Petland on South Broadway across from the mall, which has been around for years, and a new place
on East Loop 323 and 5th St...Exotic Fish. Exotic is not as fancy of a set up, but the couple that own it are really great
...very helpful and personable!
