YES! Frustrating is the word for this! I'm in West TX, in the desert. Apparently desert people don't know much about fish aquariums? I don't know.
We don't gauge in-state trips by miles, it's easier to do it by hours. It's a 7-8 hour drive to the DFW area, 6 hours to Austin, 5 to San Antonio, 10-11 to Houston, 7-8 hours to El Paso so....
It'd cost way more than it's worth to try to find a tank in one of these larger cities. It'd cost less money for us to drive the 110 miles to get this one that costs $110.00.
