the wife and I went to Michigan, Lancing to be exact, and stayed there for the day. We went to Preus Pets and she bought some corals and I bought....... are you ready for this...... SALINITY!! (the biggin') for 80 bucks!
Lol.....
They had a beautiful saltwater showroom. The manager took us on tour of their saltwater depatment and in the back where they, get this, QT everything!! Live rock, corals, and fish. They QT their fish for up to 6 weeks and if there is an issue they treat accordingly. I was impressed.
They have mother colonies of their corals that they frag from and sell, HUGE corals. They have their corals in the propagation area with no fish in it. He said soon they will have no fish in with their corals at all and will feed the corals twice a week.
Their dry goods were resonably unexpensive, pending on what it was, the corals were kinda pricey and everyone was rather knowledgable and very nice.
Where in Lansing??? I live about an hour and a half away. QT All fish!!! What?? I would love to take a drive up there. That is super cool.
PS. I pay less for the biggin' of Salinity (not much but still less!!).
Kees pets in Metro Detroit.

Kees is a nice shop. Not as much as when Jason was there though. Haven't been in a while. Is the expansion done?

Hmmmm, I will have to think about that. Lansing is approx. 2.5 hours from me. (I live in fort wayne, IN) and hate it!! Lol...
I was impressed with there organization of everything. There tanks, or some of them, were rather messy but they were doing maint. on them and doing there water changes.

Watch the video. They do not sell over the internet so there should be no conflict with SWF's rules and guidlines here.
The video is around a year or so old so some things have changed.I know Fl. Joe used it so I will look for him and try and get his thoughts.

The "kids" that work in the SW section there sometimes seemed bothered by customers.. I think I remember Jason (He is the Aquarium FX guy I see driving a van around town all painted up in a Salt Water theme.. .Right??) he was very good. The others seems okay but it always seems like they just want to get you out too quick. The owner is an okay guy. He takes the time to ask about your system and such.
The expansion is done (ish) they put in a few new nice show tanks but I think that they are all FW. I was there two weeks ago and they had just knocked down the wall and set up the show tanks. But they had not yet moved all the tanks for sale over yet. I am excited to see what they have.
I go there because it is pretty close (I am at 25 and romeo plank), but I love going to other stores. What are some other stores that you like Spanko??

Can't beat Stingray Bay on 9 and about Kelly for price.
I also like Reef Solutions on Vandyke just north of I696. (11 mile road)
Then Oceans and Seas is not too bad on Gratiot just north of 10 1/2 mile.

Cool... I have been to all three. Stingray Bay just had their big annual sale, the place was nutz!!
I like Reef Solutions... They are on the way home from work (Royal Oak), so I stop by from time to time.
The Ocean and Seas seemed to have a lot of fish stocked in their tanks but the prices on coral seemed a bit high.
Thanks for the heads up!!!
