i found a store a month or so ago.i am building a fuge so i needed some macro.i usually buy online since this store is the closest 45 min. drive.
when i walked in the door i felt like a 5 year old at toys r us.
they have 4 huge dt set ups.i have never been a store that was filled with as much livestock as this place.usually a store will have 1 or 2 angels this place has at least 25 probably most species.they have a clam that is easily 12-14 inches like a basketball.scorpionfish ,eels,butterflyfish all kinds.i must have been in there 2 hours just looking.i see these fish online but nothing compares to seeing them swimming.i didnt see one spot on anyfish.
took all i had to just buy the macro and sand then leave.
made me sick.but i'll be back when the fuge is up and running.

hahaha... I didn't know it was possible to feel sick in a good way...

Sounds like an awesome store... I went to one LFS that had EVERY fish that I wanted to stock in my 144, I was like "man.. do want all... still cycling, hate myself lol."
