I'm going to St. Pete area next week and wanted to know if there are any good lfs' in the immediate area. I want to get real colorful zoos (preferably blue). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

well your not going to find blue zoos in any store around here this week.
i hit every store in stpete to tamps on tuesday and again on thursday.
i bought four zoo rocks which you can find in another tread i posted yesterday.
os for the "secret store" its no secret not to mention that fact that they are taking a turn for the worst IMO. jacking up prices. live stock taking a dive. not sure why. manager left and the new guy is a moron. seems to know NOTHING about reef keeping. every week the deal is getting less and less. first it was buy one get one. then it was buy one get one for 10 bucks. then it was buy one get one half off. and now its buy one get one for a small disscount. any deal is better then no deal but IMO they are going to begin lossing people. they already kinda have a bad rap. I'm sure you can figure out whom i talking about. they have a very similar name to a very large chain pet store.
anyhow if your going to be in stpete let me know and you can come dig through my tank if you want. i got lots of nice new stuff this week. i'm home all weekend. theabels@knology.net

also dont forget that MOST super solored zoos have nothing super about them under anythign less then 14 k. I have a few that are crazy bright under any light but most dont show there true potential until they are under a min of 14k bulbs

I'm still trying to "square away" my lighting. I had a mix of pc lighting, 2 50/50's and 2 actnics. I found the zoos look a LOT better under the actnics. My MH's don't seem to impress me much. They're 20k, maybe they're junk bulbs? I'm trying to work things out with the retailer I bought them from.

Pic two three and four all will change.
Pic number 2 the center will reall glow bright and the ring will take on a deep maron color
pic number 3 will also really brighten up to
pic number 4 i'm not sure about the center but think the speks will glow bright wite or baby blue but the skirts will become very bright red.
