Im in Longview...... if Jeff (sublime) cant help, I can. I would be more than happy to spend time with them and get them going.
I might also have a couple pieces of nice Live Rock to start them off with.
Petland at the Intersection of Broadway and Loop 323 has a decent selection of SW stuff and their tanks and fish and corals are always clean and healthy. The guy that works in the SW section (short blond headed young fellow) is very knowledgeable and he has a personal 75g reef tank.
Also, Exotic Fish at the intersection of HWY 64 and Loop 323 is a Fish Only store. He specializes in SW stuff but a bit pricey.
I would imagine any of the LFS will want to charge them money to help out .....
tell your friend to email me or call me if they would like to. And I dont cost anything.
My name is Dave
