    I just have to take this moment to give my LFS some love. I was very lucky w/ these guys plus their only 5 min. from my house. Its kind of a small store but its ran by 3 guys and a few staff that do it just becuase they love it. There arent a whole lot of tanks but they always have great looking products. They get there stuff flown in from their distributer in Hawaii, pick it up from the airport, and the fish are ONLY net caught/ or ones they have actually caught themselves. Now im VERY new to this and these guys talked my threw almost everything and even better the things these guys tell me are exactly what i have read. I have seen these guys turn down a 120$ sell of an SPS just because they knew the guys tank wasnt established well enough to support it. And they have been very honest w/ me about the items that i buy and what not to buy the  Anyway didnt mean to bore anyone w/ my little story i just felt these guys deserve it. Gotta love those good ole boy marine stores where everyone knows everyone :D. I hope all of you have a Local store like this i wasnt meaning to brag.

    Lucky duck! Great to hear a good report like that. The LFS is the backbone of this hobby. All the better if it's a good one, eh?

    Whew, 5 minutes from your house? Sounds very dangerous, better hide your wallet!
