whats up saltwater ppl

First topic message reminder :

hello to all

My saltwater tank is up and running (for about a month or so now...) and I finally have fish in it- 2 Maroon Clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus), 4 blue-legged hermit crabs (Clibanarius tricolor) and 2 Astraea Snails (Astraea tecta). I'm so excited! I've been checking water quality and salinity like a mad-man to get ready for these guys.... Yay! My clowns are eagerly eating freeze-dried brine shrimp and I can't wait to get some decent pics...

I'm going to probably use my other 65 gallon tank for an additional saltwater tank and maybe one day have a Mandarin Dragonet (Synchiropus splendidus) in that... One day... ... ...

Thats your normal LFS.

Not for while. Maybe in the next year and a half or so. The triggers grow pretty slow.

Nice pictures guys. IM a saltwater person. What is the best store here in the metroplex?

IM in the Allen, Mckinney area all the time my girlfriends parents live up that way. Any good reef stores that way?

None?

I've heard that the True Percula is a good one in Arlington... Personally I've never been, but I like to go to the Hurst Petco when Dennis or Ben are there... or even Kutter... they've got a nice variety and those guys are very knowledgable.

couldnt tell you about tx area (only been to 2 there and the personell were rude), but in oklahoma wet pets by steve, and i am venturing to take a trip into crystal clear aquatics. there is a store here in ardmore but i no longer trust the guy.
