Albuquerque Stores

lsaucedo · 03/18/2012, 06:25 PM

So, new month for my sons B-day I plan on take him to the aquarium up in Albuquerque for the weekend. Is there any stores that I should stop by out there and view also that will be open on Sunday? That way if I plan on buying something I can purchase it and bring back that day.
Any heads up would be nice.

Southwest Reef Company and Clark's are the only games in town. SRC is, IMO, a much better store but sometimes you can find a gem or two at Clark's.

I had the privelege of taking a bunch of my students to the aquarium/zoo last summer. They had a blast. I teach in an area where many of them have never traveled more than a couple miles from their home. Seeing there faces of astonishment and the experience they had when they saw all these animals they had never seen was priceless. My favorite display has to be the jellies. My next tank might be one of those, or a strictly sea horse tank. May not be for another decade, but is always on my mind.

Sea horses just always seem so peaceful, makes me kind of jealous, and jelly fish always just seem to glide so beautifully in the water, they are just so cool to me.

jelly fish are awesome...if I were ever to do one it would have to be an 8 ft cylinder tank. That way you are able to appreciate the jelly as it glides up and down....that just sounds so dirty!! LOL.
