Hey I'm from Texas, San Antonio Tx. that is. I have a small 10gal tank here at work that I'm just getting started. I've had a little trouble with the ich thing but I've been given some good advise on how to treat it.

I'm from huntsville, tx you can visit me free by killing someone in an especially brutal way. The lights flicker then dim out when they execute people. It is pretty interesting.

I used to live in El Paso. But that was before I got really into fish tanks.

San Antonio FTW! Best place here (without question) is Aquarium Designs, if you go there tell them "Conrad" sent you. And ask for Jason, hes going to be the busiest one there. making his day harder is always a plus in my book.

I am in Laredo, TX and I have a 55 gallon tank. I've had it for a little over 2 years. Hope to upgrade soon. The only store here to buy anything from is ***** thats why I order what I want online. I'll be visiting Austin in April and hopefully I'll find a good store there. Any suggestions?

The closest real store is fish r us in the woodlands. They aren't that great as far as swf go. Really high on there fish. But they usually have nice fish. Not so good on frags tho. There is a tiny pet store he will order you some fish. Pretty cheap I got a dog face puffer for like 20 bucks and he was 3 to 4 inches long. and a tomato clown for 14. The 2 I've ordered from him have been really nice, no ich or parasites. the only problem is that you have to stay on him to get it. Then he'll say he ordered it only for it not to show up in a shipment. Like I told him I want to order 200 dollars of fish two weeks ago. And he never called me back. But I've really liked the fish he has. Just getting them in. And I wouldn't let them in his tank. The water is nasty. I get them when his order gets there and acclimate them directly to my tank.

San Angelo texas here, I have a 55 gal fowl and a 24 gal aqua pod with the 150 w MH. Just got inti the coral tank and only have mushrooms and one piece of candy cane coral with 1 firefish 1 royal gramma and 1 neon goby, I would post all my fish that I have in my 55 gal but I would be bashed on the amount of fish I have in there, but they all seem to be happy. If you ever get to San Angelo we have a really nice LFS and the guy who owns it really knows his stuff and he has some awsume saltwate setup as displays in his store.
