Here is a kinda cool story. I had to go to paducah ky today for my twic card enrollment

I am originally from Waverly TN and about 12 years ago while I was in high school I worked at GP Enterprises in Waverly. I worked for Gary Parks Sr. and Gary Parks Jr.

I got to paducah today and had a hour to kill so I googled saltwater fish store and brought up Pirates Reef. I drive there and there was a sign on the door saying they have moved so I go to the new address and find that my old boss that i have known for 13 years, Gary Parks Jr. owns pirates reef in paducah

They are in the process of setting all the tanks up so they don't have any stock there yet. But he shared the plans with me and he is going to have one room just for corals. He is also wanting to have a frag swap soon. He asked me if I can get him some business from MTRC. I told him I would try. Check out their reviews and Facebook page and pictures.

Gary is a really cool guy and I plan on doing a lot of business with him in the future.

If anyone is interested in carpooling up there in a month or so after he gets everything set up in his new store that is twice the size of the old one, let me know and we can split the gas to make the trip a little more worth while

I'd be interested in a road trip.

The more the cheaper on gas lol. I'll let you know. We just need to work out a date and what not. I want to give him a month to get the store straight. When I got there he was cleaning the tanks.

It cost me about $50 in gas but my truck only gets 20mpg our Lincoln ls gets a little better. It was about 150 miles and 3 hours one way from my house

Yeah me too - my truck gets only 15mph. The place sounds cool ... I might be interested in a few months as I am trying to get every thing settled down still from the frag swap.
 
All I can fit in my Lincoln is 4... Unless someone wants to ride in the trunk lol.

I should be able to borrow a relatives vehicle that will for more peeps :-)
