Just do internet searching or get names from stores already in business. Fish Distributors should be able to be found easily. Search papers online for fish stores going out of business that would have supplies and fish tanks for sale. You should be able to do these searches as easily as we can do them for you?

Knowing where you're at would help.
There will be at least one wholesale distributor with a route through your town.
You should already be a member in good standing of all the fish clubs within two hours of your location.

Keep your costs as low as you can. Get to know the local trades people. Stores going out of business sell fixtures cheap. A local painter who can work on those fixtures at their leisure will get them back to you looking new.

Design your air distribution system to be expandable. Piping of any kind is difficult to work with after the tanks are in place.

Just a heads up, TFDFish went out of business at the end of April last year last year.

Which is a shame as their prices and selection were awe inspiring.

HAHA - I must be tired (blush)

At least my last post will be flushed with the rest of this thread - Thanks Trill...

I had a brief desire to kill it with fire... but then I reflected that with that many cigarettes I'd probably kill us all with the 2nd hand smokes :scry:

This is true but then again.. Think of all the 'second hand cool' that would be floating around.

Everybody could use a little more 'cool', Even if it's second hand. :-P
