Owning A Local Fish Store

This was too much fun to make!
In this episode I grab the camera and record my weekend afternoon at Fragbox corals.
Every single day is different so I'll do another one in a few months if you enjoyed this one.
Thanks for watching

No basements in TX 😕 Try ICP testing and then supplementing the needed trace elements for those few corals that are bleaching.

I think i have been watching your videos for maybe 18 months and I'm desperate for my very own reef tank but for now I'm living vicariously through your channel🤣 on the topic of the expensive box issue, maybe you could have customers send them back to you to reuse and have some sort of loyalty rewards system for incentive?

Started watching when looking into the evo. I enjoyed your options and I decided to drop the evo and wait for the studio 12 lol. My first tank now since I was a kid. Now I'm about to start cycling since my aqua scape is ready. Definitely should have about the whole kit lol. Would have went faster.

[@jimelliott33]

You need an aquaspin, for the hobbyist hanna checkers are fine but fit you guys to save time and test water fit customers quicker, aquaspin is the answer, you can also charge for these super accurate tests as they are highly accurate and do all the tests in one 40 second spin

Hello, you said you are using the frag recover from brighwell but you only mensioned lps...Did you happen to use it on zoas and if yes then did you get any better reactions?

Same seasonal volume in Greece too. I like the format, it`s kinda what makes the channel different But March my dear man, when you have customers in store do they "host" you? I`m gonna make it my pedantic ocd pedantic bear mission to get that silly error gone once and for all. The coral/anemone is the host, the clowns (other creatures) are guest. I totally get that hosting rolls of the tongue but it`s about time it gets fixed :D i mean guesting sounds daft as all hell but with all the synonyms something must fit . Any who that`s pedantic bear being pedantic done :D

I think the plate coral was like that because it was spawning. And yes do a video on the history of fragbox. Just u talking into a camera with occasional clips and old pictures popping up. Sounds like a million views to me. I am like the Martin Scorsese of youtube video ideas. Just sayin’

[@fragboxcorals]

Haha I love that idea

[@lauraholmes9353]

Correction for later: The clown is trying to be hosted by the anemone. The anemomes host the clownfish, not the other way around, the clownfish are the guests. Haha I am still trying to correct myself after years of saying it the other way. Love your store and videos, they are so packed full of adventures 😄 I have ADHD too, so I understand. Been taking daily Adderall for 3 years and it is great at keeping me on track, and with remembering things.👍 You seem to be doing great running a business! Wow. I'd be broke if I lived near there (or want to work there!). Unfortunately I live in the southern Niagara region probably 2 hours away. I was friends with Brian Waugh who tried to start up the Niagara Coral Show, but in the 3rd year closed due to COVID and lost funding, so that sucked. But the GTA has more people and opportunities, and isn't too far away. I hope to see you guys in Kitchener in November (2022)! Take it sleazy! 💯
