  1. The petco on Brodie the male employee is great. Hes aware of some of the issues and the ones he has no control over. Hes let us know what we were buying that would be useless or a waste of money. The store is decent but this individual has his client base that come for him only. He introduced us to ARC and without him promoting we wouldn't be here. Thanks for the handful of teststrips and caring about your job and others and my hobby. Forgive my mistakes in grammer I'm on my kindle fire.

  2. I will be attending this plus two we wont be requiring lodging as I'm from that area...Camping on Port Aransas is very nice just need the permit Sams Club sells a huge 8 man tent for about 130-150 bucks...we've used it there in the rain no issues...there is showers and toilets....showers you have to pay quarters there also is laundry...Theres a HEB and Walmart about 5 minutes away...and I recommend going in on 361 GPS has you go through Corpus and 37

    Getting there I prefer going in on 181...(Seguin 123 to 181) it will take you to the coast...

    As far as the Texas State Aquarium goes haven't been since middle school or something. My friend Alyssa works there so if there is anything I can do please let me know.

    As far as collecting goes I would have to talk to my cousin but they have 20 school tanks near by that should be empty (cycling) at this time. I dont think everyone could show up and go into the school but we could drop each persons stuff in a individual tank...and then pick up when your leaving...I would have to talk to them about this but I would more than likely be doing this myself...Its nice being able to collect stuff one day dropping it off for a day or 2 and not having to worry about them...you'd be able to enjoy yourselves...

    Again just a thought at this point bc then you'll be carrying buckets and bubblers everywhere

  3. Hello y'all

    I am either looking for a place to rent from (wife and 3 dogs (1 German Shepherd (Service Dog) and 2 Weenie dogs)

    Any locations at this time

    OR

    Take on 1 renter

    We live in a small duplex 2 bedroom 1 bath pretty modest 1 car garage

    on 4803A Teri Rd. South Austin near Stassney and 35 Exit 230ish

    We are currently paying 800 rent plus utilities per month So roughly 550-600 with cable and internet and utilities for the renter

    my former roomate just moved out and left us in a bind (took a job in S.A.)

    I have a 150 gallon tank also lol.

    The location and place place is not that great but its home however we do not pay a pet deposit and are in no legally/binded contract. I am an excellent cook.

  4. To make crendon's job easier in separating the order, please post or pm him your real name. RC labels the bags, but we'll need a decoder ring to figure out which belongs to which screenname.

    Haha Mitch that was hilarious did this order already get fired off

    Is it a litle orphan Annie decoder ring or Davinci Code Tom Hanks?

  5. Question: I've seen a few ppls tank builds so I've noticed something I'm doing different

    The rock I have came with my tanks, but they look like river rocks (unsure), they are some flat ones that coral grows really well on, we have another one that has tunnels all through it for shrimp, and for the most part there pretty porous and live...I dont really know much about them bc they came with the tank.

    I have them carefully stacked along the the middle across the tanks, making bridges, caves, and lots of hiding spots. I finally realized that I would like to transition to some various actually coral rubble, or fiji, or the BRS rock I see. and start piecing it together slowly ( I dont think I could afford 150 pounds in one go)

    My question now is from what I've seen the tanks rocks are laid out in a U shape around the tank with the front obviously visible and unobstructed. with the rocks against the side and black glass. this looks like it adds more swimming room This hadnt occurred as a thought until I saw everyone elses tanks.

    Can someone please give me some instruction on aquascaping or link to where its discussed (if its already been covered)

    Very Respectfully, Drew Mendez

  6. Yeah I have to agree with Aaarrrggg on this guy. I wouldnt want to kill him bc of me not paying attention to his care requirements. I have heard that some cold species guys that are in tropical tempatures can make the adjustment but have a much shorter life span.

    So the question I have now is how can I figure out my temp zone? I'm going to pass on this guy out of respect for him. I sure do like his coloring.

    I'm running with mostly fish (just added my frag swap corals

    Black Combtooth Blenny, Seaweed blenny, Pink Spot Goby, Bullet Goby, 2X False Perculas, longnose Hawk, 6line wrasse, blue damsel, plenty of peppermints, zoas, gsp, devils hand, red finger, paly, xenia birdsnest. in a 150...
