Lol- we had to turn ours off because our 3 year old ordered a frozen 2 castle and we didn't know until it had shipped. I saw the flashing green ring and just knew something was up

store opens 3/7.

107 east Main st
hartselle al.

feel free to holler at me if you want to visit the store while it’s in progress. I love to show folks what we are doing and building.

I've missed a bunch in this thread- I'm having to go back to like October! Somehow I lost all my notifications and I have a bunch of catching up to do

Congratulations on taking the step to running your own business! Wish you all the best!

You know what- my birthday is March 4th. Maybe I request a little solo road trip vacation for my bday and come to the grand opening? That would be awesome

Now we also did something possibly bad. Tim is a bad influence on me!

Yes, my friends that is a twelve foot long tank that will be the tang display in the store! I go back Saturday to pick it up hopefully.

I'm 98% sure that my sump baffles were cut at that left side table.

That place is one of those surprises that you roll up to thinking "this can't be right? I mean, I didn't expect zero chickens, but 14 can't be right"

I feel like we are really a part of the store. Thank you for sharing with all of us.

I'm a little annoyed I missed all these updates, but 48 pages later, I'm all caught up.

Store looks amazing!

By all means come on down!

I love going there. Yes, it's messy and in the middle of no where, but, I ALWAYS find something I can't live without.

Thanks for the kind words!

You are! From the beginning you have been a cheerleader and, at times, admonished me for wanting to give up or being negative. I couldn't do it without your support Katrina. I only wish I could repay the kindness and love.

Cash usually works well!

Looks like some of this is happening...

Going to see @dantimdad for your birthday on a solo road trip???

You are a glutton for punishment!

So, to say this makes me happy is an understatement. There were two MAJOR requirements for the store.

1... Shark Pool CHECK!
2... Floating aquariums walls CHECK!

Got both sides done except for a couple of the holes and some flush trimming.

It looks so good. I almost can't believe I designed and built it.

Ryan and I are so happy with this because we worked our tail off on it.

Is that 14 x 10 gallon tanks built into the wall? Awesome! Is each one species specific or biotope or ?

That is some great photoshop work! err... I mean shopwork!

7 x 10 and 7 x 6.6 custom rimless tanks. There are two of these walls so a total of 14 of each and the end tanks are 55s.

 

[dantimdad]

Oh and they are species tanks.

I didn't know that empty was a species. ;Troll

I'll bring Visine to the opening...that should adjust that poppy attitude. ;Hilarious

 

[Katrina71]

Any plan to include tanks just for viewing? A showcase type of tank?
