Deleted User 4 Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 business admin. gunna own my own business.. my own coral store. i have the spot and everything. 250$ a month rent.. stock it with tanks and coral and get popping Ok, let me work for you on the weekends lol. I'm a good salesman and I know how to bag corals properly....especially the rubberband part. This applies to small to extra large bags. I have worked at a saltwater fish store called Angel Aquarium in Rowland Heights, 91745, ca for 2-3yrs. And I can give you lots of recommendations on what to sell and supply your store with.

I like to be risk-free at all causes. And there's too much stress managing a business. Even if it's saltwater business. Yeah, I use to work at Angel's and the old boss sold the business to my co-worker (he worked there 9+yrs) and then he taught me quite a bit. Too bad, he got lazy and didn't restock inventories when he had to based off on customers' immediate requests and such. The business ended up closing down. The place was dirty as hell too after he started becoming the new owner. I can assure you how to make your store look clean and minimal, classy much possible. And I had no idea, David was a pro golfer lol. Link to comment

TristanC Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I just got back from sexy corals, and man was it worth it. They have one of the nicest collections of rare coral i have ever seen in a local store. The guy that runs it was super cool and gave me massive hook ups on the few frags i got. I picked up one frag of Rasta Zoas with 5 polyps-$40 One frag of Red Hornets with 3 polyps-$30 One frag of fire and ice zoas with 5 polyps-$20. I guess they just bought the store around 3 months ago and are slowly putting it back together but they have done quite a bit of work so far and its taking shape. Honestly if you have the chance, go. I will post pics of my new additions shortly. 1 Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 How much were the crazy morphs??? And the rbta? I already know their lemon drops are selling at least $500......a piece. Link to comment
TristanC Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Yeah that lemon drop was money, I didn't ask about the others, they had a couple cool carpet nems too Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I heard carpet nems are the most aggressive even compared to tube anemones. That's what it says on advancedaquarist. Carpet and Condys most aggressive. Link to comment
TristanC Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've only kept an rbta so I'm not too good with the other kinds. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I've only kept an rbta so I'm not too good with the other kinds. Wait, you've only kept rose bubble tips? That doesn't mean you're not capable of taking care of other bubble tips/other anemones lol. Link to comment
