The owner and staff actually know what they are talking about and will not sell you something you do not need just to make a sale. All they deal in is saltwater.......no fresh water anything, no puppies, no birds, no lizzards and snakes.No tons of all kinds of products, just products that have proven themselves. Does not even carry flake food. Saltwter fish keeping is a lifelong passion of this shops owner.....

My favorite thing about the LFS is that I can examine all the fish and have it fed before taking it home. IMO selecting the right specimin is 1/2 the battle in keeping a healthy tank.

Wow, I can't believe that a lot of people are actually complimenting their LFS. That is good to see.
I like LFS who only hire knowledgable people to work in the fish room. I know of a couple in my area that I would say that of. And I have to agree with jcrim. I like the fact that you can see the fish eat before you take it home.

My LFS is awesome...they sell premixed water, quarantine their fish for 4 weeks, and are extremely helpful,knowlegable and don't try to sell you stuff you don't need. When I got my tank they took 3hrs to explain the plumbing to me and made sure I understood it. They do custom installations and deliver the tank for 500$ (set up and plumbing) and the guy offered to come over to help me plumb it. The LFS helps me to resist impulse buys...I saw a Blue Spotted Jawfish(cost like 129) on sale for 18.99! I said I have to get it, the guy actually said I should wait (day after I bought my clowns) and he said if I wanted he would put it on hold. Their simply amazing with the amount of respect they show. I have actually walked into a LFS and they told me not to get into the hobby and tried to sell me gold fish food for my clowns ( I thought the guy was on drugs). I like how they actually show respect to a 14 year old unlike most stores which make you empty out your pockets.

the last time i was at my LFS i told the guy he gave me sundial snails and flat worms...he told me sundial snails don't ever really hurt Zoa's and that i shouldn't worry about the flatworms and that they don't need to be worried about....BUT the best thing is....when you ask a question just to hear the stupid answers your going to get. that's my favorite.

Rob's Reef is the poo. Any questions that I have I can ask him and he explains everything. They just got a bigger shop and I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done. Then there is AquaZoo, I go in and BS with the gusy there alot. Plus they have everything that I need there.
