Ok everyone. Just graduated and moved from San Marcos to Kilgore. I was more than a pain to move the aquarium that far. Everything made if but a fish and one piece of coral--but it was about my favorite piece, naturally. Now we are about to move to Florida, and I can't stand the thought of moving it that far, and I am also afraid for the livestock. Plus, I won't be able to afford taking care of it. So I'm going to sell everything I have--except for my new HO t5 fixture and my ro/di system--for CHEAP--I don't know how many of you are in my area (Kilgore--by Tyler) and want to make it worth your while to take a roadtrip and get some coral, or for a new hobbyist to try a nicer piece for less. Also, I guess during the move, the sand bed was disturbed a lot and released a lot of phosphates, and since then I have had a massive hair algea explosion. Through diligent water changes is getting under control, but it is still on some rock and some coral, just so you know ahead of time. I do not care to ship anything at this point, but if you NEED something shipped, we may be able to work something out for the dry goods. Also, my tank is at my friend's place, and I will get some pics put up as soon as possible.

****Making a trip to San Antonio to meet people with coral and goods sometime soon, so if you are interested in anything, let me know and we'll coordinate a meeting!****
The tank is at my buddy's place which is just off of HWY 31 (between Kilgore and Tyler) by The Country Tavern. I can meet people there, and you can follow to his place. Bring your own bags and rubberbands please. Will get pics as soon as possible. Can't meet until Monday to get stuff. Should be able to every day after then too.
