Just thought I would let you know
 

Just thought I would pass onto everyone that may care, I have gone totally legit in this fishy endeavour.
I now have my business license (A marine experience) and a yellowpages ad.
I am currently looking at plans of bulldozing my house and building a much bigger one (around 3000 square feet plus a full finished basement) where i have much more space for things like a 750 gallon coral show tank (10 feet x 4 feet wide by 30 inches deep) and several other tanks plus about a 650 square foot fish room in the basement where I am going to continue to attempt to raise seahorses, clownfish and banghai cardinals and have lots of coral growing out tanks.
I know that there are a few people out there that don't like what I am doing because they think I am hurting the fish stores out there.
Well, frankly I don't care and well, I have become one of the stores.
just because I do it out of my home doesn't make it any less viable.
Yes, for those that are curious, I will be definitely be doing a journal on the building of my 750 gallon dream tank.
more to follow
thanks for my supporters
and for the others...whatever..lol

Hurting the fish stores bah...
I'll buy from you as soon as i can (invert order) after christmas my money is yours :)

Ahh a big boy license and real taxes, gonna have to raise prices soon. :)

When you look at it carefully what you are doing is filling a demand in a way that retail stores can't quite manage. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

I'll be in Edm next week, I should drop by for a visit if you're going to be around.

You go Neal! I have been to your house/store and you do need more room and I think your new tank dream sounds amazing. I think there used to be another guy in Edmonton who ran a fish business out of his basement (smelly basement guy) although I was never there, but I believe he shut down a year or so ago.

Good for you! I purchase at an "in home" business too and love it! Keep us updated on your progress!

We need more retailers that provide/support tank bred fish and corals. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place there is not much tank-bred stuff available locally or on-line in Canada relative to the US. Best of luck.

The new plans sound great Neal,wish you all the best and can't wait to see the dream tank log.

I agree the more tank bred stuff we can get into this hobby the better it will be for everyone.

Way to go Neal. I agree you need moreroom :biggrin:

Adda Boy way to go Tehre Neal well done.

Way to Go Neal ,Also look forward to seeing it all come together and thanks for the great service in the past. see you at my next purchase.

Yay Neal! I'm proud of you :)
I'll be heading over your way soon . . . I want to drop off some hardware that may come in handy. And since I'm there anyway, might have to drop off some $$ too!

sounds great Paula.
It is always a pleasure to see you.
Neal

Rock on brother
