Gabe's...talk about going out of his way...

[Mr Cob]

Just wanted to thank Gabe for his superior service.

Man, who stays late and keeps the store open for an hour after closing just so a customer can drive from the opposite side of town for a coral? Gabe does. That's who. No one was there..just him...waiting around to just make a customer happy.

I really appreciate the service Gabe! Thanks.

He's adding a lot of tanks too and always has nice "frags"...more like mini colonies for awesome prices! Definitely worth the trip for locals and out of towners!

I got a sweet purple acro colony! Actually he was holding something else for me but after gazing for 30 minutes I had to take it! It's purple...pinkish...super sweet! I have no idea what it is other than... "Super Sweet"!

Since rejoining the hobby I've been to a lot of the big fish stores in town, Aquarium Designs, Alamo Aquatics, and The one on ekhert. I can say the gabes has consistently had the best looking livestock. I fully intend to do almost all of my shopping for my 37 there. The fish just look healthier.

And what other store has a drunk dude shouting out bigger and bigger price cuts as his black friday sale rolls on? None that I've been too....

So yeah, go Gabe.

Gabes is great for freshwater as well.

Gabe definitely goes the extra mile!
Gabe's is a long way from me but it is worth the drive.

I just like when I finish my beer, he has more. :)

I keep remembering little tidbits from when he worked at AA. Once I asked him about a fish and he gave me a book. First time that ever happened. I learned all about it.

The other time that I told him about was I asked him for a fish and he said "Hey man is that your car out there?" I looked, and it had rolled back about 15' without hitting anything. My eyes got big like quarters and he said "I'll bag that up, go get your car."

LOL good guy.

ROFL!! Now that's a true salesman! Never take your eyes off the prize!:bigsmile:

[alton]

I have you beat because I am his favorite, he is openning up today at lunch just for me. Oh wait a minute he always opens at 12. Must be the grey hair, I guess I just thought I was special.

[Salty]

He's been great about helping me out with my new 55. Not everyone in town has been as patient with a newbie. :thumbs_up:

[msmith619]

Yep, buy a fish and get an oil change too.... or maybe he only does that for me:wink_smile:

[Salty]

with all the trips I've been making up there I am going to need some free oil changes...

[Mr Cob]

LOL! He makes it worth it though. Seriously. I appreciate it.

[phippsj]

For me it is Gabe's and Aquarium Designs. Congrats on the good first year Gabe!

[allan]

Is he open today?

[hobogato]

nope, opens back up tomorrow.

[allan]

Ok, I guess I'll get up and make a frag rack.

[toneytigger4]

was there yesterday got a couple of bulk heads and looked around I will be back for some frags very nice selection

[Double-O-Zilch]

Alright, all I see is how great Gabe's is. Post after post singing his praises. I think it's about time to go see for my self.

[Europhyllia]

Yup I'm going tomorrow to pick up some sun corals :)

[Double-O-Zilch]

Stopped by today and gotta say Gabe is pretty helpful. I think his inventory was low due the sale madness all over town but got me a few snails and a small six line wrasse pretty cheap. I will definitely go back.

[1fstlightning]

Was fianally able to go check out Gabes store earlier this afternoon. I was able to pick up a few things for a great price, Thanks Gabe, and I will for sure be back.

[Double-O-Zilch]

Just had to thank Gabe again! Got me some more snails, a koralia 2, flake food and a refractometer. Once again the prices were the best I've seen and the help was phenomenal!

[chunkymonkey]

Gabe is definitely awesome. When I had my African Cichlids, he'd go out of his way to try locating me that one odd ball that you wouldn't typically find in the tanks. Other shops simply said keep coming back to check. Gabe would be honest and say he can have it in a week, or even 6 months if it was the case, but he always delivered. This past year when I crossed over to salt, he was VERY tolerant of my newb questions and lack of skills, lol.

[ABS]

A big "Well Done" to Gabe, I work all around town and shop for the best leaving no one out. Gabes not only has great livestock, but as earlier mentioned, he refuses to work only banker hours like many of these other clowns. When I get off work at 7 or 8pm and want to go blow some money on my saltwater addiction, Gabe is their and ready to accept.... I have also seen the beers floating around, first off whats with the low carb brew and second are those for customers too or only his staff? :)

[Big_Pun]

what staff he is the staff, and its always byob or whats left in the fridge, just dont sit in the camo chair(big boy chair) thats mine

[ErikH]
