Don't lie who has had "champagne wishes and caviar dreams" of opening a fish and coral store?
Let me say that it is not something that I would advise people to do. I have never ran one but I know enough people who have. It's takes a lot of FULL time work, patience, and know how to be successful. Not to mention the capital to be able to get started and to sustain the "nice" fish and coral needed to drive customers to your store or website.
Don't get me wrong it can be very successful and profiting. It can be fun and exciting. But most fall flat on their face not ever realizing what it really takes to do the job. I admire the guys who do it and are successful.
But that is not what this thread is about.
This thread is simply me wondering how many of you have ever thought about it? I have. Of course that was early on in my reefing career before I knew better! LOL!
What about you? Be honest! :tongue:
