Well my REAL Local lfs I stoppeds buying from. I bought my (2 separte times) naso tang, dogfaced puffer, flame angle, from there and the all died. Not sure the deal with the tangs, first one died at her shop, next one 4 days after I got him. Flame killed my whole tank with ick. (My fault for not QT, but I thought I was safe with that store) Plus they are soooo overpriced. Started going to Buffalo, 2 hrs away, found an awesome place. Now its the only place I will buy my fish. Problem though is everyone up there can't seem to get there hands on the hippo's. And I want two of them real, real bad. One other place said they could order them for me for 60.00each, smalls ones, but when I called this weekto see if they came in they said: no won't hold them and they bumped the price up to $80.00. Which would be fine but I can't make it up till Monday. So checking out online options. Guess I'll have to be patient, but as my husband says "I'm not a Doctor" lol

Deejeff, I'm thinking its the fish place, and saltwater paradise. They are both good . The Fish Place is where I buy all my stuff. Our prize blonde naso tang, Nought Bravo is from there and he is beautiful.

Oh wow, I LOVE your puffer choices. I'd love to have a Dogface puffer one day and a Porcupine puffer...but from what I've read I probably shouldn't mix the two puffers unless I had a gigantic tank like yours. Am I right?

What type of lighting do you have in your tank? I'm planning a 150 gallon FOWLR (maybe 200 gallon, I'm not decided yet) and I'm wondering what sort of lighting I would need.

I know how a lot of you feel about bubblers but this is pretty sweet...what do you all think?? I'm about to buy two of them. Blue LED bubblers that will run across the back of my big tank

I actually seen those first hand yesterday at my buddies house on his wife's goldfish tank.....Looks cool, they are rather bright as well, but don't think they honestly have any place in a salt tank and agree with Henry on salt creep.......
