We thought it'd be fun to check out even though it was a long haul. Really amazing place and worth the distance to go back to as I am sure many of you know. I understand that their main business is in maintaining systems and creating awesome tanks for people and not the retail end, but owner is just as attentive and good to people coming for a few frags and fish as someone who commands a high dollar set up.
Business was so well run - organized, clean great stock, we felt really good about getting livestock there. I hope other new-to-hobby people will check out as many stores as possible. It is good to know where the best prices are on dry goods, but also where you are best off in getting a good deal on the things you want to thrive. I am keeping a record of all locations we got corals and fish from so I can see how they do over time.
Oh, and owner was willing to look at some pics and ID something in our tank that he said was an invasive nem an so we took them out - really owe him for that.
