Hey guys, new member here from Katy.
Just made an account to say hi and keep the SWT action going.
I'm currently cycling a Fluval Evo 13.5 and tomorrow I'm picking up a coralife biocube 32 from T&T :)

Welcome! I used to live in Katy off Westgreen and Kingsland Blvd. Also lived in Fulshear and the Galo area. Have been to one store there off 99 and highland knolls I believe and it was a nice clean store!! Nice people too!
You have Chris with Unlimited Coral Colors that's around mid Houston.Great guy!! Keep an eye out for the 2nd Brew Frag Fest that is in the making I believe for December!

Thanks for the welcome.
I went to the store you're talking about on 99 (cinco ranch aquarium) and was highly unimpressed. I asked for live rock and they said all they had was in their display tanks and the store was incredibly cramped. I said "no thanks" and went to T&T Fish and Reef (on highway 6). They had multiple types of live rock in ample quantities. I haven't ventured as far as mid houston yet, but im sure I will once I start stocking. Thanks for the heads up :D

Man!! It's been some time since I have been there, things most likely changed as some people get lazy. What I've noticed from many LFS' around tend to do. Such a shame!! Lol anytime, definitely look up Chris, his corals are all super hearty and healthy.
I'll have to check out that store on 6 next time I'm in town!!

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems they might be on the way to closing up shop. Their website redirects to some chinese website. I even told the guy about it when I visited 2 weeks ago. o_O

It is indeed, and I hope you're right.
On a brighter note:
I showed my boss the 32G Biocube I bought and some pictures of what I plan to do with it. He was instantly hooked and asked me to turn a WALL in the office into a 200 gallon reef tank. :eek:
Its going to be open view on either side and really expensive. He doesn't care about the expensive part, luckily. He wants it done right.
I have 96" x 28" to work with.
We're looking at the rimless tanks at glasscages.com.
Being that i've never had larger than a 30gal aquarium, this will be a learning experience for sure. Hopefully I don't get fired. :D

Yessss!!! Go bigger lol talk him into it! I'd be like, "you know boss, why not just tear the wall down and make an aquarium as the wall.....yes..???" Lol
 
Haha... its pretty easy to talk him into buying cool things. I've done it before, great boss ;)

I wish my boss was like that, but dads are cheap lol [emoji23]
 
lol
Now we're looking at 350+ gallon L-shape aquariums. He wants to go all big/aggressive fish.

Other cool things i've talked him into buying lately:
• 3D printer
• 4k drone

I might do a nice 3d printed company logo to put in the tank ;)
