Monday would be nice.

Sorry for not sticking to my words with an update on the inside. Had an issue today with my tire that held me up for the most part of today. Was at the shop for less then a hour, and had something that needed to be taken care of immediately. Will try to get some pics this weekend, if time permits.

NP. That's what the club is about.

Update for this. I called UPS today. It's showing it has arrived in Mesquite again. According to the person I talked to on the 11th, it never left Texas. Well, I guess that was incorrect. The person that I talked to today said it never made it to Mesquite due to the weather delay. Said he was showing some hub in Texas was where it was supposed to go, but got rerouted back to Cali. So, to be honest, I don't know what the heck is up. I've posted the tracking in a previous post. Keep an eye on it if you want. It's not on a truck today, so doesn't look like it will be coming in today. I would probably rule out this weekend as well. I would imagine these will be here at the 1st of next week.

Well guys, I'm going to give this a shot for us. Reached out to someone late last night. I'll let ya'll know what I found out.
-
That's awesome. Please post an address and phone # so we know where we can reach you. Do you have an opening date set yet? Thanks.
I actually don't have a date in mind. I know worst case scenario will be 1st of Jan. I plan to have a grand opening date with BBQ and deals.
Yeah, I should have posted the store info on the 1st post of this build thread. Was pretty exhausted when I posted it. I'll enter that info on the 1st post.

It looks great buddy! I'll be stopping by this weekend when the pumps come in.
Have you considered getting some of your initial livestock locally? Offering store credit or cash for frags, fish, live rock etc., would be a good way to start stocking the shelves. Generally, credit is given at 50% and cash is 25% of whatever you plan to sell that item for. Buying LR for $2 per pound would probably be pretty acceptable.
The petstore that I used to managed treated every FO tank with Meth Blue, but did not do a QT system. The tanks were treated on day 1 only and the medication was gradually removed during the bi-weekly water changes.
I updated the original thread on the powerheads. There was a weather delay in Texas that caused a delay on the pumps. I actually just got off the phone with UPS and have more info. Now if that info is correct, that remains to be seen. They gave me wrong info on the 11th.
Yeah, all of that will be available
Haven't found a supplier locally that meets my needs. I've tried many times. Any suggestions?

this should be fun to watch.
Yeah, thought it would be kinda neat to do a build thread for the store. Never seen it done. I always liked following people's build threads, so I figured I'd give a few pics and updates here and there. Meant to start it earlier, but has been a little stressful and busy to this point. It won't be as detailed and as many updates as a regular build thread, but it will show some of the progress being made. There are a few tanks that I would like to show the status/build of. One was a SPS kingdom in its hay day.

Thought it be pretty cool to start a build thread for the store to show the progress. Had a few members stop by today and a few more walk-ins who saw the sign.
Felt pretty good hearing feedback. Starting to feel like an actual store. Still a ton of work to do, but everyday it feels like it's starting to get there.
Thinking about kicking off the ebay before the store actually opens. Don't have an actual date set yet for opening. Looking at 1st of Jan worst case scenario.
Will have a grand opening with BBQ and deals.
I'll start with the outside, and post some pics tomorrow of the inside. Will try to update the Facebook page ASAP as well.
Got to give a big shoot out to Chris(o0zarkawater). He designed the Niko's Reef logo. I think he did an amazing job. It's unique.

I thought about Fishstreet. When I talked to them, it seemed like shipping cost and the amount of time would be an issue. The only way to speed up the shipping was to order a lot. Then it ships from Mexico. Seems like enough people are interested that maybe I could arrange another group buy with a different vendor until the supplier I used this time reups.

Check out ceastman thread in the hardware sale section.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying. I couldn't have it shipped to the shop, because there wasn't anyway for them to identify my unit. Now that I have the signs I asked to get it switch and they told me they didn't even know where it's getting shipped to. 0 information on it. They didn't even see the second package in their system until I gave them the other #. So guess I just have to try and guess when it will be here and make sure I'm there. No time window is available. Asked where the pickup was, and it's in Belton. Guess that's what free shipping gets you.
-
Where did ya'll order them from? I seen a sponsor on here that had a pretty good price on them. Maybe I could organize something with them.
-
I do plan on getting them in. They didn't have it this go around, but they have told me they will have the return pumps, WP10, WP60 next go around.
-
Lol. Ya'll have too much time on ya'lls hands. Sure are giving me a good laugh.
-
cool! just let us know when we can swing by! Jebao party at nikos reef!!
Can it be a work party?? Lol. Nah, on the cool I will have a Grand Opening with BBQ and deals in Jan.
-
Little discouraged about UPS. I called them today, and they were 0 help. Doesn't look like it has moved at all. They said they couldn't find any info on it. I tried the live chat, and its never available.
-
Lol. You guys are crazy. Needed a good laugh.
-
How would you prefer we send payment niko? And is the store in the shopping center by windermere?
I would prefer $. I took it out of my business account to pay for them, so I would like to put it back in. I thought $ would be the easiest way. That's why I didn't do PayPal. Didn't want to take the extra effort.
Its at 4 points in Pflugerville. Right off 1825 and Vision Dr.
-
Thanks Ty. Lol, it actually might happen on your bday.
-
nice looking store. when does it officially open? or is it already?
Thanks Planeden. The outside should be complete today. They have to come back and do the door/windows. After that I have an artist inline to paint some of our beloved buddies on the windows. Also, have a really cool banner coming from Chris (oOzarkwater) tomorrow as well that will be hung up front.
Not open yet, and not sure on a date either. Its starting to come along, so not too much longer.

Just talked to UPS. They said it is still in Texas, but can't tell me when I will get them due to weather delays. They said it won't be today.
-
Here is the update. UPS tracking isn't the best, so I'm not really sure on the status. Doesn't make sense to me. Looks like it was in Texas, but then was routed back to Cali on this tracking due to weather conditions.

Lol. I would be the happiest person on earth if I would be ready to open by the time the powerheads get here. Either that or mad as hell they aren't here and it's Jan...
