Your place looks GREAT. We're going to take a drive up to Chattanooga as soon as you're up 'n running.

Keep us posted! I want a clam!!!

I will go as well. I go through there every couple months and would love to stop by and see what kind of deals you have.

 

[jmaneyapanda]

Absolutely, I am in a roundabout sort of way, close to Chatt, so I will be very interested. Let me know when you open.

Its about time you guys got some tanks in there. A while back Jermpool(from CRC) and myself stopped by there and there wasn't a tank in the place that we could see from the front.

This place is going to be great guys. I was up there today and everything is really coming together nicely. I can't wait to see it finished. I love the fact that I won't have to drive so far to get to a high quality marine store.

Oh yeah Donny did you ever find out the price on that Actinic Bulb for me?

heres the sump for the 2 middle rows of the fish system. a 48"x48"x30" 280 gallon sump with 50 gallon refugium. we want to have healthy fish with rock solid stability. the 3 rows of tanks combined are nearly 1200 gallons with sumps

They are just about 20-30 miles from Dalton depending on where you are in Dalton. Its just off exit 1 in TN. If you want to run up there some time send me a PM and I'll go with you. I think they are trying to open up the same day that the Chattanooga Reef Club Frag swap is. This is what I heard maybe its just a rumor.

thats no rumor, the 13 hour days and my aching back can assure you of that <~~steve

You haven't seen the thread on it? I'm going to have to bump that thread today. Its the 11th of August. It should be a fun event. I live off of 328 so I'm always close to Chatt-town. I'm just happy to have a great store openning close to home. Gas to Atlanta is getting to cost more and more each day. Now I just need more money to spend there.

 

[lorenk]

Will you be open on Sundays? I think we'll spend the weekend up there for the frag swap and hopefully go to the aquarium.

 

[turboex901]

loren, im not quite sure what donny and brett have in mind for working sundays. ill ask tommorow and get back to you.<~~~steve
