Jeffww Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Hey guys, I just moved here from Houston as a freshman at UT. Just joined this forum. Right now I have a 5g nano reef and I'm wondering where I can get more RODI water near campus... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Chemistry lab? Welcome! Also, and this is strictly semantics, UTA typically refers to UT Arlington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkiiCircus Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Aquadome if you wanna fight the I35 traffic down south, or aquatek if you'd rather fly up lamar to burnet. Totally your call. Also, Welcome to the family!!! I am a senior at UT right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah, you just go to UT. I'd help a fellow longhorn out with rodi if you don't mind driving to oak hill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Welcome to the club! Lots of nano/pico keepers on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffww Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks....I actually took a bus and foot it up to whole foods with my 6g container and filled it...it was 2ppm tds. I knew I should have checked before I filled. It'll be okay though with only some softies. Also, do you guys know a good place to get coral locally? I went to aquatek and it was not only expensive but the selection wasn't great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, coming from you Houston, you are a little spoiled Everything here is 10-15% more expensive than houston, in my experience. Both Rivercity aquatics (north) and Aqua-Dome (south) are both club sponsors and have good prices/stock/customer service. Another great place is from members here, there is a pretty wide variety of aquacultured stock available, ye need only ask in the WTB section.

Jeffww Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Thanks for the heads up, but since I'm going to be moving this tank a lot I'm going to try to stick to softies and maybe an LPS or two. I'll check those stores out when I get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClarkiiCircus Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 If you don't have a car, we could carpool to the stores sometime, just shoot me a PM. Whats your major? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckyuv Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 aquadome is an awesome store, just south of you on 71 and if you take 35 north to 183 u will land at river city aquatics which is nice also. If you went to "all about fish" in houston then ur spoiled and will have to get used to our stores here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
