I agree with you DOC. In order to make money in a BUS. you must first spend more than you have. And you are almost always in the red zone for around 2 years. You have to be able to "float" things along in the beganing and not worry about making a profit, but rather stay afloat. My sister started there bus. so far in the red they had to sell there house and buy a smaller one as well as sell their second car. That was 8 years ago, today they bought and paid for their very nice brand new home and have 2 brand new cars and a strong bus. Both of them run it now and no longer work second jobs. It was by no means easy, but they stuck with it and road out a few rough stroms for a pretty good pay off.

I see what you mean. I just called the store and it said the number was disconnected. Does anyone know how to get ahold of him? Or does anyone know anywhere else I can get a tiger pistol shrimp?

I thought he wanted WAY to much for his tanks.

Really? I called a bunch of stores in town and got my tank for about $200 less than what everyone else quoted.

Everything I got for him was very reasonable... wasn't the greatest location and considering the overhead of a building it might just make mor sence for him to run it out of his basement untill a proper venue opens up. Asside from that my understanding with other types of businesses is that there is a fair bit of benefits/perks to having it at home if you don't think you'll need a huge storefront.

I just hope someone knows where his basement is so I can go.

the building rent was 1200.00 a month not bad for the size building and he didnt even use half of the building


i am not going to say what the problem was (not my place)

When went there he had just taken over and the cheapest 55g tank not RR he said he could get me was $155.00. No stand, no light just a tank. I think thats kind of high.

I'm still sorry to see him go. I just thought he was a bit high on the tanks.
