    Just wanted to let everyone know down here in the DEEP South of Mississippi that we are losing another store. Crystal Reef Aquariums in Hattisburg MS is closing. I have never been there as I am in Meridian, but that is painful blow to me cause I enjoy taking expeditions to real towns and checking out the LFS. :(

    Anyway, I called them up and he said it all had to do with lack of business and blaming it on the economy. Send a prayer or positive thoughts as your case may be to Bill. He was in business for 20 years and sounded like a good guy.

    I know because they are all usually independent guys trying to make a living. I have no right to tell anyone how to spend their money, and I know this has been discussed before here, but try to support your LFS even if it is a little bit more money.

    I don't know why but it really bothered me that this guy worked there 20 years and is having to close. That sux.
