    Closest I have run across are 50-60 miles away through Houston traffic. I am sure there are more near me, but not on 3reef that I have met yet. The other thing is that there is only 1 LFS that has any quality corals and such. You'd think in Houston there would be better without driving forever.

    I am whining. I'll stop now....

    Cheers,

    Morning... yes, work for NASA. If you follow the news and Obama's cancelation of the Constellation Program for America to return to the Moon and replace the Shuttle with a safer vehicle. I am the Design Integration lead for that. Needless to say, I am "a bit busy" dealing with the President's direction to cancel the U.S. manned space program. Let's just say that this is the worst thing that has ever happened to NASA baring Columbia/Challenger/Apollo I. Regardless, still a cool job and still too will work out in the end.

    Thanks for the positive words. Believe me, they are needed right now.

    I was refering to ALL ABOUT FISH on I-45 South just North of Beltway 8. It is the only LFS I have found that carries anything more than trival corals. I found one or two up in Houston, but they are God-awful expense. I order almost everything online as a result.
