Sorry about that.

Haha slakey...thinking...wait a minute the wife might walk in!

Anyways. I'm just going to post a link (if it's ok) to my LFS's virtual tour. Click Here for Tour! (Just click "Next" at the top of the page for the next picture or scroll down for image links.) Other wise I can post the pic here if needed.

Wow. Wish there was a LFS like that by me.

That is the bigger of the 2 that are less then 3miles from my house. The other one used to have a shark but I'm not sure on the type.

Hey! That's the store I go to most often! You must be a fellow Milwaukee-ite (ok...I made that word up )

outlaw

Haha. I like the word! and Yes I am a fellow Milwaukee-ite. haha Glad to see someone around here!

Hey GreenMan13,
You live in Lakewood CO ? Isn't that where that amusement park is ? What's the name ... Elitch's ?

sgould

outlaw...is the PetWorld on 108th the other store near you? Or is there another I don't know about? (Always trolling for new shops to check out!)

Hey a fellow Colorado-an.

I feel your pain. There's a so-so shop about 70 miles from me. The two in town are poor to be generous. Keeps the impulse to buy at a minimum when there's nothing to buy though

outlaw

The other one near me is between 92 and 93 and Oklahoma, called "The Fish Factory". It's got a blue canopy over the door and the sign says "The FISH (in the shape of an angel fish I believe (still learning my fish)) Factory". It's not big but the guy "Tom" I talked to was really cool and seemed knowledgeable. He said he builds the custom tanks and is usually there on the weekends. They have some nice tanks there too, ones that Aquatics didn't have. If you stop there, the ones we were looking at were the Odyssea B28.



70 miles...that would either make me move closer if I were "die hard" enough...or almost quit and find another hobby.

Gozer_1

That's what the internet is for. lol All my equipment came from online sources. When I do get to the farther store I buy a new coral every time. Lucky for my bank account I don't make it there very often. At least they have a selection.

outlaw

That's always a plus. That coral is probably pretty expensive which is why I am going FW for my first "real" aquarium.

Gozer_1

Usually about 30 bucks. Not too bad till you add them all up right.

sgould

Thanks...I'll have to check that out.

outlaw

30bucks isn't too bad. Less then I thought, but yeah, once you add them all up, your eyes glaze over with $$$ lol.

If you don't get a chance I could probably post some pics. I will probably be going there again soon.

GreenMan13

Ya, Elitch Gardens is right in Denver.


Gozer_1, what city do you live in?

Gozer_1

Western Slope. Town called Montrose. Not a very big dot on the map. Near Grand Junction and Telluride.
