new fish

[jshmehr]

Michael,
Yes. Some things are fair priced but most of the prices are a little on the high side.
Some of the employees there are nice but several in the fish department are rude.

Most places these days have a NO return policy so I don't buy there unless the fish seems to be in supurb health since it usually costs more there than at other places in Fresno.

Althought I have found several inverts from their 1/2 off tank (the tank where the sick corals go). I guess they didn't know that sick corals don't always stay sick, so I look around in the bottom of the tank for corals that have been there for a while. WOW that was a long sentence!
Where do you shop in Fresno?

Josh, have you check out your local reef club? Cvreefers.org. They mostly post on their own forum but they do have a forum on RC. Just wanted to give you a heads up. I've met some of those guys and they are a great bunch.

If you have a chance, you should read about Weatherson tank (prez of CVR?)

Michael,
I've been in Fresno for about 25 years & have been going to Whities that long (although the location used-to be on Kings Canyon Ave).

Yeah, Kieth (if you catch him on a good day, otherwise he can be grouchy) is pretty nice, although he has never offered me any deals.

I usually feel guilty asking, unless I'm spending a lot all at once.

Michael,
My Grandpa used to live in Selma.
I've only been there a few times in the last 15 years so I don't know for sure.

Use the Following site & enter "fish" & "Selma, CA":

The Closest I found to Selma is Fresno or Hanford.

Where-abouts do you live in Stockton?
I'm Familiar with MAJOR streets like Hammer Ln or March Ln.
Thanks,
JSLM

hey Josh do u know TimB? ive been to his house. he has a nice tank

Michael,
I think I know where you're at.
Somewhat close to I5 & Highway 4 near the Port of Stockton, right?

Downtown Stockton isn't a very nice neighborhood.
I used to do ALL of the maint for U-Haul so I'd repair stuff at the U-Haul on Wilson & Sanguanetti from time to time. I wonder if Richie is still the Manager there?
So I'm familiar with the area surrounding area.


I also used to do the Maint for Goodwill so I'm familiar with the area surrounding Grant St.



I don't think I know TimB personally. I just enrolled to CVR so I don't really know anyone on it.

I'm almost done reading weatherson's Post about his new 240gal (2 years old now) tank. I'm on around page 16. I've been reading it since you sent the link but I don't have enough time to read it al at once.

He's got some really great Ideas. It almost seems like he has build a few of these before he decided to build the one in the post. MAN that guy seems to have thought of everything. I'm really amazed and look foward to meeting him & his tank one day. From what I read in his posts he only lives a couple of miles from me so I won't have to drive far.

My tank is far from being 'postable'.

I've only begun adding inverts, although I've had lr in my tank for quite a while.
