I opted not to go, was just too tired and didn't want to make an impulse buy.

Seriously, was only 6 mins away. I drove 30 mins out of my in Fl to stop at some random store to just to look around.

Good call Marcus.... lets focus on that 80 gallon !!!!

 

[Mrx7899x]

It's my lfs and it's got good dry goods. Alot of coral and fish buts it's a little on the dirty side.

I think they're slowly trying to get cleaner, they replaced the freshwater tanks recentlyish. They also supplied the water for Macna when we hosted it if I remember right. They do give 15% off to members as well. That said you didn't miss to much.

They are good people. Recently recovering from an ac failure that set some of their tanks back.
They will also special order for you if you don't see it in the store.

I was in there the day after the ac went they lost alot most everything it sucked. They have the biggest selection of coral of all the local places. Most of everything is pretty large pieces which is cool. Not just a bunch of frags

That place hasn’t had 100% functional AC in nearly 5 years, when you walk in the AC unit is sitting on the floor by the front windows.

Every summer the place overheats and most everything ends up dead, it’s gone down hill over the last 2 years and is beyond dirty. I know hoarders who have less clutter.

The owner bought out the tanks from precious pets last year IIRC for the freshwater livestock.
The coral tanks are always plagued with pests, this past summer they had Flatworms nearly a 1/4” long and I’m not embellishing.

I’ll put it this way the place is not even 10 minutes from me and I’d rather buy livestock from petco!

I’d rather buy livestock from petco!

Got a Petco by me with the staff being knowledgable.
Bought many a fish and coral there and always top quality.
I've witnessed the employees turn away people looking for a simple systems or 'Nemo tanks'.
They recently began dealing with local coral vendors (aside from having direct Fosters and Smith), and they don't distinguish, a frag is a frag. Not uncommon to see named zoas and SPS for $15 - $30 (per plug, not head).
I'm guessing not all Petcos are equal.

Same here it's 10 minutes away and I only buy dry goods there. It's a shame because the place has potential
