New from WA state :)

Hi I'm Ashley I heard about this site from WAfishbox.com and figured I'd join.

My boyfriend and I currently have a bunch of fish and tanks. I have to thank him for getting me addicted to this hobby, I love it. We have A 450gal, 400gal, 250gal, 2 150gals and various smaller tanks.

Let me see if I can figure out how to post some pictures.

Very nice tanks! I see I'm not the only one who puts their dog in empty tanks

Welcome!!Nice tanks!!Love the Ray and Bass!!!!

very nice!!!! hows the market for fish tanks up there? my boyfriend and i will be moving there in 5 yrs maybe shoter but who knows lol. i luv ur stingrays, r u saltwater, freshwater or both? looks both but want to know wat ur answer is.
welcome to the fishbox!!!!

Thanks everyone! Yeah I try not to because the dogs panic but I think it is hilarious! lol

We only have freshwater. That is all we are really interested in, for now. The market for tanks is pretty good here. I mean we have gotten all of our tanks for dirt cheap on craigslist you just have to look every day. Our fish and filtration cost WAY more than we paid for the tanks. What kind of fish do you keep pillie? And why are you guys moving to WA? Family or just enjoy the rain? lol

My little dog has gotten quite used to it by now She has been put in most all of the tanks at some point or another

nice, and welcome to the BOX

ah my bf dad is up there and my boyfriend need colder air me i freeze but i agreed to go if i get my fish room with as many tanks as i want, so wer going to graduate then move and it all boils down to me going insane with fish!!!! lol i cant wait for the day we move and i get more fish tanks hahaha. i dont mind the rain and its so neat up there to. luv the green compare to the brown in texas!!!

Ashley, I sent you a friend request!

I am in kirkland, WA. Pretty close to bellevue if you know where that is? Yeah I can definitely give you the "hit list" lol. I know of quite a few good spots!

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

Fairly familiar with those areas!! Other than all the new stuff they put in since I lived/grew up that way. On occassion I may a trip up just for "fishy trades" and an excuse to drop one of the boys off to entertain an uncle for a afternoon LOL the aunty loves that, she is getting used to me plugging in heaters and an air pump for overnight visits.

Have you been down to 38th & Pacific in Tacoma there used to be a awesome asian owned fish store there, loved that place next to the fish store out towards Graham was the best around other than driving to Seattle (another uncle had a 150g reef back in the day only the big aquariums had a setup like it) so we made regular roadtrips looking for just the right corals.

It's called "Asia Gift and Aquarium" haha. The guy doesn't do well with English...lol But there are much better fish stores around here :)

Yeah it's been quite some time since I was in there the last time was for chocolate orandas and his store had the best selection been meaning to go in there the last couple times I was visiting but literally run out of time.

Yeah I have never been to that one, it's a bit of a job. there is about 10+ fish stores just around the seattle, bellevue, renton, everett area

wow that many i bet u hav a great selection of fish tho!!! man i wish i could even see wat yawl hav.
