College Bound

Dilan Patel · Aug 14, 2018

Well in a couple days I will be leaving my family(including dog),friends, house and Fish tanks :(. But the good news is I am moving on in my life and am going to college:). I will be attending the University of Alabama and am super excited to see what the next chapter of my life turns out to be. I will have my worries about my tanks but the apex/cameras have my worries set to a minimum as well as my dad taking care of them. Any fish stores or anything that is worth checking out in Tuscalusa? #RollTide

Congrats on this next chapter! Enjoy it while you can! Also, much better to meet your spouse in college than in a bar, just some side bar life advice :D

Wrong school for Marne biology. Auburn is the real pioneer on that front (I actually have no idea...I’m just a hater)

As for fish stores in Tuscaloosa, your pickings are pretty slim. I heard there’s a store that opened up recently but I haven’t had a chance to stop by. There’s one decent one in Birmingham that’s stepped it’s game up recently. Montgomery also has a good store and a couple of garage vendors that have great stuff. Huntsville is supposed to have a really good store but I haven’t had a chance to make it up there either. Where are you coming from?

Yes my dad is taking care of my tanks, thankfully he is the one who got me into the hobby so he knows his stuff. And I am coming from Nashville Tn.

So jealous of the reef scene you're coming from. Aquatic Critter is one of my favorite stores to check out. Not to hate on this excellent state but you're probably better off compiling your list and picking up livestock in Nashville on your way back from breaks.
