Christian Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Hey guys I was wondering if you could help me out. I'm in the process of looking for a job in the aquarium industry. I know austin is not super big one aquarium/zoo or reef aquarium products but what jobs are out their in aquarium industry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 There are always tank building companies, stand building, maintenance and cleaning jobs for tanks, fish stores and online companies. There are always niches to fill, like building specialty sumps or making your own dry rock and selling it. Can always go down the import-export route for corals and fish, coral farming, fish breeding and raising. It's a specialized hobby and the market can be limited compared to other industries, but it's a pretty strong one in this area of the state.

Christian Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yea, I've been looking into the import export side of the business. I wish that austin airport was an import export air port. Since I live down south in Buda it's like 45-60 min or longer drive to any of the fish company's in Austin because of traffic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+brian.srock Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Austin Aquarium is looking for someone that has reef experience still. Or maybe you can get into the import export business between Austin and San Antonio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Yeah. I've thougt about the austin aquarium its 45 min away with no traffic from my house. Yeah between south Austin and San ant their is not any fish stores or anyone it would be a good area to get some corals into the area. I know their is one guy out in Buda that grows his own live rock in like10,000 gallons outside but he does not sale fish or corals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woods Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Build My LED is here in Austin. You could potentially get a job with them. If you want to be in this industry you are going to have to commute to Austin or SA... That or move... Also AquaDome is down South Austin, they may be looking for someone. It never hurts yo ask. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
