    I'm NW Houston area... outside the loop

    I won't do full service, but I'd be glad to help.

    Bama, welcome home ;)

    Global Leader aquatics

    Nice Info. I just met James at Global Leader Aquatics about 3 weeks ago. He is really awesome. I have been all over Houston trying to find that LFS everyone talks about and I think I have found mine. Not to mention he has a Chevron Tang that is just beautiful. To bad my 120 isn't cycling yet but I am very close. I just did my leak test but then I had to fly out to Mexico for work. AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I am so pumped to get it up and cycling...................

    Good news!!!!! James did mention that he might start to do full service house calls pretty soon.

    I would check into what they are going to use, media (Carbon, GFO, type of salt,type of food they will be feeding corals) will you be required to do top offs, what test kits will they be using, if the tests come back "off" what will they use to supplement, will they replace your socks IF you have them, not sure if you have any calcium reactors things like that. All i could think of right now, im sure ill think of some other things?

    I'm familiar with GLA and James. It's a nice place. Clean water/coral. Reasonable, but not cheap prices by any means. Has a neat layout in the store.

    He is the type that will sell you creatures you shouldn't have though. (who isn't though right). He does have a business to run afterall...

    But definitely one of the nicer LFS in the area that I have found.
