    Well, I've got a new job....sadly, my coffee shop closed on the 25th of last month. The new landlord didn't think the little Daily Grind was as important as the big coffee chain, Dunkin Donuts....oh well..anyways in the interim, I'm working at a PetSupplesPlus...and havin' so much fun!!! Only problem is I want to bring all the fish and corals home ;D

    That's Cool Seawillow 8) I would want to do the same thing if I worked in a LFS I would end up owing them money on pay day [smiley=hehe.gif]
    We have a PetSupplesPlus here also but they don't carry salt water fish or coral just fresh water :( same thing with the PetSmart here ( No Salt Water ) >:(
    Well good luck with your new job ............... John

    good luck with your new job, i have worked at the same lfs for 17 years and i love it, about 15 years ago we went all saltwater and have never looked back, learn all you can, and never never never look down on someone's methods, if somebody has a successful tank using a mason jar and an airstone then congraulate them, if someone has a successful tank using every filtering method available then do likewise. it can be frustrating when somebody's fish all die for no apparent reason, but just remember, there is always a reason, it will be your job to find that reason and fix it, doing so will assure that your customers keep their tanks as aquariums and not change them to hamster hotels.
