I used to live by the tunpike off of psl blvd....David terrace.. wasn't into fish at the time ..but there is a store on midway..seascapes I think it's called...and supposedly..saltwaterfish.com...is supposed to be over there..in fort pierce..let me know if it really is and if they will allow you to p/u items...look in the coming soon section..been coming soon for over a year though now...guess it depends on what the definition of "soon" is...

Are you looking for used supplies? Like what? I will keep my eyes out, and i will ask next time I go there, I also have some stuff im getting rid of.

krylon spray paint is dope. I use to be a graffiti writter back in the day and it sticks to just about anything but watch out if your useing a dark color like black or dark blue, it can be very thin in dark colors. If you use Krylon spray paint try and use lighter colors or do very thing cotes one at a time. Also Walmart brand spray paint if amazing! it goes on thick every time and it sticks well. Just make sure when you paint that you do it out side lol in doors is not a good place. Also tape off the sides of your tank so you dont have paint sprayed every where.
