  • 9 LFS in one day, can it happen?

    Here is my plan...

    Go to Ultimate Fish on 2920.
    Then, turn on Kurkendayl, then on west on Louetta, then turn on south on Stuebner Airline and hit Mike's Tropical Fish.
    Then go south to 1960 and head west, then left on Jones road and hit Aquatic World.
    Then East on 290 and eixt Holister and hit Aquarium World.
    Then continue east on 290, take 610 South, Exit 59 South, and exit Bellaire and take the service road North to Fish Ranch.
    Then back onto 59 South, and exit Beechnut, and drive towards the Beltway and hit City Pets.
    Then take the Beltway North to Westheimer, and drive west to Fishland.
    Then back east on Westheimer, then south on the Beltway all the way to 45 North, exit Fuqua and hit Megans Tropical Fish.
    Then Drive east on Fuqua, and South on Highway 3 to Aqua Zoo.

    I will start this trip from my house in Pasadena at 8:45AM
    I expect to spend 30-45 minutes at each store, some will spend longer, others might just be passing thru.

    Can it be done before Aqua Zoo closes at 7pm?

    You can make 12 in one day.
    Before Fish Ranch II you can stop at Fish Gallery (Kirby & 59). After Fish Ranch II head south on Bellaire to Gessner stop at Globe pets. Then take gessner to beechnut hit city pets. Before Megans you can stop in at Fish Ranch by Almeda mall.  then 45 south to El Dorado for Agua zoo.

      I was thinking of this Saturday the 25th.

      I have never been to Fish Gallery.

      do you really think we can make this in 11 hours and still spend 30 minutes or more at each?

      I have got to pick up a custom stand from Andy (FISHLAND) for the 115 gallon Oceanic, and get the (2) 30" Light Strips from Mike (MIKE'S).

        I believe it can be done. As long as you not spend to much time at all the LFS.

                I was not really planning on buying any fish.

                I was however looking to find some used equipment.

                I was thinking of adding Inwood Aquarium on Antoine after leaving Mike's and headed to Aquatic World.

                I am always on the hunt for Cherry Oak Oceanic Aquariums 6ft length any gallon size, reef ready or not.

                    Put all the locations in and see what Mapquest says....it goes by driving the speed limit.  Then you can factor in all of your variables from there.

                      it can definately be done, TIm and i did i think 9 plus in one day but was more south side, those stores are a lot closer together then up north, and we hit i think 2 or 3 more down south that are little whole in the wall places, and there is one or two more near aqaurium world, you would have to ask him exactly where. but i got some killer threadfin rainbows for a 1.50 a piece at one of the stops. loads of fun just checking them all out.

                        very possible but personally half of the places there I probably wouldn't bother going to.

                          Filtration equipment and powerheads. Filtration I am looking for is Eheim 2260, and any Seio or Tunze Powerheads.

                          Oceanic 6ft Cherry Oak no matter the gallon Aquariums with tops and lights.

                          I only buy my stands from Andy at Fishland.  Best stands and best price out there on stands.

                            Things have changed.  

                            Texans vs. Cowboys 7pm.

                            So..I got to be finished by 4:30 pm.

                            I think I will do this instead.

                            Ultimate Fish, Mike's, Inwood Aquarium, Aquatic World, Aquarium World, Fish Gallery, Fishland

                            I'll just hit the others during the week or some other time.
