They closed up their storefront last summer I believe.

David mentioned turning it into a batting cage area or something. I still think he has urban aquatics though

I dont think we're gonna see him anytime soon. He's taking a break from all the beatings ... he got a full time day job, apart from the hobby, for now. This hobby has lots of competition. Many friends lost everything (🏠) trying to open shop or an online business.

Are you able to update the LF Store pins on our google maps page? Maybe prevent others from finding the pin like myself in the future.

truth, too many home businesses cutting in on the lifestock side. That only leaves dry goods, and online usually has dry goods beat unless you need it same day. Its rough to be in the LFS business.

Might consider adding The Fish bowl and More in pearland and Nemo and Friends in Cypress, both good-descent Saltwater stores in town
Thanks for point this out, i've never visited either of these stores but i'll go check them out.

The Fishbowl and more is in Pearland. They built a stand for my custom 90, I bought most of my equipment, and some beginner fish and corals from them, and they came and set it up for me. I like their shop, found them helpful and in my opinion Carlos's prices are fair.
It's too bad about Galaxy closing down. They were on my old work route and I bought quality stock from them at some great prices.

Nemo is pretty cool. More NW houston then cypress imo.... Rich is pretty reasonable and always trys to make right. Got some pretty cool fish like my Super Male Linneatus wrasse from there.

If the map is sponsors, do we have a non sponsor list? All the sponsors are ~45min out from me. Maybe we could have a sponsor location map, and a non sponsor included map. Or just one and sponsors get highlighted somehow.

Then MARSH will loose sponsorship money... we have to use Google my friend. MARSH has to pay bills more then membership money brings in. If other stores want the exposure they have to pay. Marketing 101....
