khan_man Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Hey everyone i just wanted to share that i will be moving to austin around the end of next month. I will be moving from houston. I just wanted to get to know as many people as i can get to know in this hobby. Hoping to get to know all of you guys. As far as my tanks go. I have a 14g biocube with 30+lbs of LR. Its got a YMG and Pistol combo. Also got a pair of maroon and gold clowns with their RBTA. Its retrofitted with AURALED leds. I also have a Fluval edge set up as a SW system. Its got a pair of OCC clown fish a hermit and 2 pepermint shrimps. Also has a few corals its light with a Stunner strip. Sadly i will not be able to bring either of those set ups. The biocube is at my GF room on her night stand. The edge will be donated to my baby sister who the OCC fish belong too. SOO i will be bringing the NEO NANO that i just bought in Austin and drove it to houston. Now i have to bring it back. LOL. But it will not be till later this year as i am going to be living with a friend of mine till i get settled in and find an apartment. Can anyone help with finding a cheap place? Well Thanks for reading all that. hope to get to know you all. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 If you want to live near Barton Springs road you can forget cheap(AFAIK, cheap and Austin don't match regardless). Unless you find some house with an apartment over a garage. Welcome though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khan_man Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 I agree with the statement that Austin is not cheap by anymeans. But for the first year I have to find a place that's close and affordable. After a years worth of hard work I will find something nice. My gf will still be in Houston cuz of school for another 2 years so I have time. I can manage at a cheap place for a bit till I am ready!! Looking forward to meeting you fellow reefers. As well as getting to see the car seen. I have an srt4 with a bit of work done. It's not an Evo. But it's fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 There are cheap places(relatively) here and there, but I doubt you'll find anything close to BSR that you would define as cheap. You might get lucky though. I'd start looking now. Edit: Just ran a quick search on apartmentguide.com, cheapest place was ~$500 and is in a less than desirable location. But it was close, ~3 miles away. The cost went up from there. The neighbor hood directly behind where you'll be working is one of the higher priced and desirable in the city.

+o0zarkawater Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Bah! Move out to Cedar Park and commute. Then you wont have to deal with all the smelly hippies down in that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmmthree Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 With the toll road in place now you can live far away and get anywhere pretty quick. You will also find a lot nice place to live for less money living on the North Side (Pflugerville, Round Rock, Cedar Park) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 No housing advice here, just want to say welcome! Good luck with everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khan_man Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Thanks for the advise and the welcomes. I will keep you guys posted on how things go and when I will touch base. But for sure once I am at the location you all are most welcome to drop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Yeah the toll road makes living in northwest Austin pretty great... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
