We're going to start stocking our 90g in a month or so and some of their prices are high but I'm willing to pay more if the fish are generally healthy.
We were actually in there yesterday to look at their live rock and corals and not a single person in there could tell us how much the mushrooms were.
haha yeah its so screwy that they can't even tell you what things cost...but on a positive note...we got a fairy wrasse for 20 bucks that was worth like 125 bucks...they didn't know what it was and i wasn't going to argue with them....they were supposed to call and let us know what it was but never did so we just went back and thats what they told us so thats what we paid...

well, I just have a small 12g right now. I've got some mushrooms, zoos, and a frag of a leather coral (i think) that Nikki (bellanavis) traded me for some shrimp.
In another month or so we're going to start stocking our 90g and it will be a reef tank.

If I were you, chadman, I would just wait a month or two until the Hidden Reef is back open. They always had great livestock when they were open and their new fishroom is going to be absolutely huge. They probably now have as much fish stuff as that Pet Place as well, and their prices are awesome. Their dry goods section is now open, but their fishroom is still being worked on.
When i lived outside philly i always shopped Hidden Reef over That fish place. No comparson on the fish and corals. And the staff at HR was more knowledgeable and didn't try to sell me anything not suited for my tank. FP will sell you anything. I am just sorry i live to far to shop there any more, the reopening will be awesome.

I'm another one who's never been to the Hidden Reef. In our area if you're willing to drive there's A-Z pond, Reefs and Tails (Wyommising), Shear Heaven(Allentown), Something Fishy(Northampton), That Fish Place (Lancaster). I frequent these places the most.
