Dallas stores

Mr bigolsworth · Feb 17, 2020

Hello,
I’m currently in Texas not to fat from Dallas and want to make a day trip to some local aquarium stores. Looking for suggestions on which ones to go too and which ones to avoid. If anyone would chime in with there opinions that would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be in town for roughly a month if you know of any frag swaps or events that would be great also. Thank you for your time and input.

They are all about the same.. the best one I know of is North Dallas aquarium.
if you are from the north, everything here is a lot more expensive, and I have also found out any LFS I goto does not care about the home hobbiest and they would rather care for your tank, or will give you wrong info and hope something happens so you can spend more cash at their place..

sorry.. been back in the hobby for a year since my move down here and have been rubbed the wrong way by a lot of shops here

Hope you enjoyed it. I went last night. Picked up some good deals. If I had the cash, I would have come home with a bunch of nice torches.

not trying to bash anyone but I didn't realize JF would be there. I tried talking to him and he was super short and it came off super rude. I really like his stuff but it makes it hard to support someone when they are off-putting.
