LFS going out of biz. - 10 new corals! - 125 reef!

[reefstar22]

Where to start?
My favorite pet store is going out of business. - I'm quite sad. - They QT their livestock,they take trades, they sell frags. - What could be better? - To bad my city doesn't value them as much as I do.
But turning a lemon into lemonade is what I do best.
I bought $600 worth of corals for $250!!!!!
I'm to lazy to point out whats new and old. - So you can just enjoy pictures of the whole tank! - If it looks like it isn't open all the way...its more than likely because its new!

Very nice tank. Looks good. To bad the place is going out of business. Looks like you made out quite well though.

Yeah I did.
Thing is, its kinda like inheriting a million dollars from your grandparent when they die. - Its nice to have, but honestly you'd rather have your grandparent.
I'd rather have my favorite pet store than a few corals at a good price. - I'll miss the staff, i'll miss how I could haggle with them on the prices of corals. - I loved even more how I've been going to the same pet store since I was 12 years old. I literally new everyone, bought my very first beta fish there.
Its a very sad day, but I'm sure where they fall another store will rebuild and the cycle of life goes on....just its hard to see them go.
Bright side is, I can look at my tank and drop my jaw at some corals I would look at 3 or 4 times a week wishing I could afford. - Not only could I afford them but I got most of the ones i've always wanted. - That orange racordia is open now...its bright orange with amazing green center pieces. ..before the new corals my tank lacked alot of color, I got these neon green candi coral. - normally they sell it for $30 a HEAD. - I got the whole thing with 5 heads for $50!!!!
My zoa's are amazing now...
Blah. - I'm starting to rant. - See what happens when you have a couple glass's of wine!

Tank looks amazing. I had a LFS go out too, but it wasn't quite as forseen as yours. One day they were there, about a week later they weren't. I still am not really sure what happened, but everything is gone and i never even caught word of them leaving.

Congrats on the good deals, but at the same time i feel your pain.
