It was great to put a face to the name.

Finally looked through your whole thread. Love the setup.

Can't wait to see what's next.

Thanks Nichole, still have more things I need to complete, and wanted to make the meeting tomorrow but have to fly to Houston TX, for the week so wont make much progress but, will look-up some places in TX just to see how they rank to CT LFS... will post what I find... hmmm might buy something too.

Had a great time and the folks at City Pets are very pleasant and welcoming, if you are in the area stop by and say Hello, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the selection. I picked up a few things I need for the room and had some coral shipped back. Thanks everyone!

Back Home... WooHoo!

Just curious, how is pricing compared to CT LFS?

They seemed to be 10%-20% cheaper... one example Loc-Line ball value $2 cheaper than online... the rainbow pectinia coral in the pic above was only $180... seen the same size one up here for little over double that!

I've just found your build thread and I can't find a single word...... It's amazing, intense, well thought, very detail specific. IMO, you've really left no stone unturned. Looking forward to more updates !!!

I spend way too much time running scenarios over and over in my head before even trying to attempt anything... I'll be the first to admit that it doesn't always work and something I miss a few things but hell that's how "I" learn. Thanks for the kind words, it's very much appreciated.

Lol, I know the feeling. Something I learned real quickly at RTC San Diego many years ago. The 6 "P's" of life.
