    So after a short interview I ended up getting a job at one of the LFS chains down here in south Florida. I started about 2 months ago and honestly I love it. Mixing my hobby with work was a awesome idea and I enjoy ever single day I work. So everyone out there that are on the fence when it comes to getting a job at their LFS take the jump and do it trust me you will love it ;D;D;D

    My Algae Scrubber is better than yours lol

    Congrats!

    Now that yoiu mention it, I was in my favorite lfs yesterday and asked for a part time job.
    They weren't advertising, but I have several days a week off anyway.

    The owner/manager said they didn't need anyone right now, but he'd keep it in mind.
    I have to keep working on him.

    Hell, I'd volunteer at mine for a coupe frags! I too have plenty of time a week I could go in and help out.

    That tank looks just like the shark tank up my way in the Cocoa Bch Surf Co. next to Ron Jons.

    True we get fish and coral in every Thursday and our boss will let us put pieces on hold for as long as we want. I use the store as my own personal quarantine system. I put a pair of sunburst anthias on hold for 3 week and got them nice and fat before I took them home lol
