...I think reeftectonics was just not making enough. It's sad to see that happen, but it's got to be hard to keep going. I tried to buy stuff from there when I could, but they just haven't had much livestock lately, and I can always get better prices on drygoods online.

Likewise, I hate to see any store close. Reduces competition. But when I was at reeftectonics, they didn't have hardly anything in there to buy. I think they litterally had only 2 corals, and a half dozen fish. It would be VERY hard to run a store like that. Demand requires that you have a selection for people to choose from.

When Chris, Tim and I open our store, we'll have lots of coral tanks. :D :D :D
 
I am just wondering if you two really are serious about starting your own place? I have been seriously playing with the idea for the past few months, but because of my non-fish life I dont have time to do it all myself. I would be willing to help out when/if it happens.

Rick, nothing would make me happier, but unfortunately I'm not independently wealthy like Tim is :)

If I had the money, I'd get a huge kick out of opening a fish store, and the whole rain forest/coffee shop/fish store would be really cool. Unfortunately I need a fairly steady source of income to keep my wife happy.

Not only that but Chris is wanting to build it as far away from my house as he can. :D :D :D
 
Yea... maybe we could open a Petco. That would be sweet. Then we could have about 1000 Damsels, and 1000 Clown Fish, and call ourselves a marine fish store. ha ha ha

j/k Chris...

Is there such a thing as a chain that is actually a good marine fish store?

Hey... Good to hear from ya "Cherokee". Thought you had dropped off the face of the Earth or something.

So... are you gonna join us in opening our awesome lfs too? I think that make 5 of us. Wouldn't it be a blast?

Tim can get us cheap acrylic, I can do plumbind, custom canopies, and lighting. Chris' wife is gonna do the coffe shop thing. What have you got for us?:) :) :) Rick wants in too. Not sure what he brings into the mix either.

Wouldn't this be a blast? If only.... :rollface:
 
Ahhh Yaa I'm in, we need one so bad!!! I'll sell the fish I think I could do that part of it.


Anyways I'm in and out all day. Nice to talking to ya again too Thanks for all the advice on the lighting.
 
Wow! There seems to some interest in this.

Unfortunately, the people we need to buy things and support the business are all going to be owners!

Oh... I have a great idea! Everyone could set up their tanks at my place. My livingroom could be the showroom!
I could have a dozen reefs at my house. SWEET!!

Of course, everyone could come and visit theirs anytime!:)

How about we just start out at the Omaha Zoo, at the Aqurium have those as our displays..
You guys can set up shop there.
And there would be room for our coffee shop in the stupid little gift shop of stuffed animals.
It would be alot easier for me too sell fishys if they could see our neat setup in there.:p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p :p

Sounds great, Tim. My fish need to be fed twice a day, and I'd like 10 gallons of water changed per week, and you'll need to feed my corals twice a week. The fungia likes to have some brine shrimp when you feed the fish too. Oh, and my cleaner shrimp likes to pick at the skin on your hand and around your nails from time to time. You'll get used to that though. Anyway... you'll need to test the calcium and alk once a week, and make adjustments if necessary. The mangrove trees like to be misted with fresh water every night or so. Hope you don't mind. Oh... and make sure you keep the glass nice and clean, will ya? I don't want my tank looking bad. :)

I appreciate the offer, Tim.
 
Sorry to hijack the thread, but As for Paradise Cove Pets.. anyone know when they are opening back up? They were still closed today due to electrical problems when I went over there..

You're certainly not hijacking the thread. We're just wandering off on a tangent. You're actually getting us back on target. Thanks... :D :D :thumbsup:

Those guys are having nothing but trouble (I wouldn't call it bad luck). I'll be impressed if they get it off the ground.
 
I think they probably opened up a little too early in the grand scheme of things. I am kind of curious what the "electrical" problem is they are having. I wonder if it killed all their livestock?

I think it had more to do with the 25 feet or raw conduit hanging from the ceiling over pools of uncovered water.
 
I remember thinking that it looked quite unsafe with all the wire just hanging down from the ceiling. I hope nothing too bad happened :-(
