Unfortunately yes and as you can see from Richards last post he has way too much time on his hands now.

I have a friend who has a couple of yellow tangs which, when I last checked where over 12 years old. I don't doubt there needs to be more control though.

Well, that is a terrible loss to the hobby! Richard and Mark "Did it right", which is probably why they gave up :(

Sure am glad I didn't drive out there last weekend

Richard/Mark - thank you for your many years serving us reefers

So, who are y'all hacking code for now?

Mark's doing .net stuff for some medical software company.

I'm unemployed with too much time on my hands. Trying to stay that way until January but I don't know if my wife will let me get away with it.

So really the CB Pets store close and is no any chance to re-open in the near future? I was there yeaterday and for my surprise the store was empty.

This is a real lost for the hobby. The 90% of my fish was bought there and now that I'm setting up a new tank is going to be very difficult to find someone else that sell after a quarantine period healthy species.

I'm not positive and Richard can chime in but I think that even CB had discontinued the quarantine period. I'd imagine it just wasn't very cost effective for a store to do.

Yea sometimes we are our worst enemy because instead of asking is the fish fat, happy and eating we ask how much. I am not harpooning anyone it is just our nature as humans to be cheap. Even though they didn't quarantine fish as much at the end they never sold a sick fish to my knowledge. Over the years with shopping with them I never lost a fish that came from there store including a juvenile imperator that is now around seven inches long, fat, and happy. Still think Richard you need to move to Schertz and open a store on 3009 between IH35 and FM78. Mark can open a beer store next door.
