It's that time of year again!

Hey guys.

For those of you near by Tokyo, Roppongi Hills is again holding their annual aquarium fair this weekend.

I didn't see any ads up, but since I live by Hills, I caught sight of aquariums being set up.

Last year's event was quite disappointing, but I hope to capitalize on the free goods they give out.

http://www.aquario.jp/ is the URL for those of you interested.


Please let me know of any of you will be heading to the event. I would love to meet up!

As predicted, the event was pretty boring, but I got four "farm-raised" clams for 500 yen each and some refills on food and stuff. (Though one didn't seem to survive the trip so well.)

Highlight of the event was when one vendor sold off the entire content of one of their tanks for discount prices. I now have a flame angel in my tank that only cost 4000 yen.

Wow, Not a bad price!

Not too bad for the Flame Angel!

I've bought two and both didn't make it through quarantine. Not only are the fish expensive in Japan, but the meds are almost as much as the fish!!! (Y8,000 for one flame angel!)

How about some updated pics of your tank?

Welcome back! I was hoping you would make it to the fair, but maybe next year.

I'm trying to revamp the sump. Since you're relatively local, would you be able to offer me advice on how to go about it?

Sure!

Do you still work 20 hour days, 8 days a week?

Are weekends best?

How far are you from the fish store on Rt 16 near Machida?

I just finished the major deals of the season (today), so finally can get some sleep.

They moved the store in Machida to a town near Yokohama. It's HUGE now. I've only been once (on my bday), since it's a pain in the *** to get to.

Do you have any other stores you go to?

Do you have any updates on any big stores in tokyo? The closer the Yokota air base the better.
