Peter, many of the FW fish mentioned are illegal only in certain states. Florida and California, in particular, are every aggressive in banning certain species which could, or already have, been introduced into state waters. The main reason for my asking the original question is that while...

Actually the reptile category is down considerably this year after a decade and more of sales growth. Reptile supplies are down >18% nationally and livestock is down approx 9%. Dog products, and to a lesser extent, cat products are some of the few remaining growth categories this year. A...

We're seeing more and more "fish only" retail stores closing up shop. While the full line pet store is not immune, the percentage of these shops closing is considerably lower. It is an unfortunate result of both the faltering economy and poor business management that often leads to their...

I heard they were going to move to a smaller location.... Also, I have been to bigger stores in NC, FWIW

Don't use that test anymore, but I seem to remember that if you are using chelated copper, you need to wait like 20 minutes for test result, as opposed to 20 seconds for ionic copper. Not sure if that helps, but that's about all I remember about their kit.

I don't post in here much, but am always lurking :lol: and figured I'd add my bio. I don't see too many people from the manufacturing side of the industry in here, so perhaps I can contribute something. My name is Tony Nista. Born, raised, and still residing in the Cleveland, OH area. I have...

Actually, it's completely different. I justr eplaced a Coralife unit with a 1/2HP Oceanic on my 300 gallon reef system. Just from the pyshical appearance, the Oceanic out cover is made from a heavy black steel, as opposed to the flimsy steel case of the Coralife. Also, the unit is substantially...

I have one arriving tomorrow. I will let you know. Any opinion since your first post?

Did all of this really start with someone looking for a 2" Juvenile Regal Angel? Talk about hijacking a thread...Sheesh! :?

Did you ever have any luck, len? I have been looking for a small Black Tang myself, hopefully for less than the $649 mentioned above.. :)

Now that is one cool tank, kalk. Is that acrylic? Can you tell me where you have the overflow hidden? I think I see one of the returns to the right of the mermaid. What about lighting? Very cool. I will have to make it a point to stop and see both you and Jenn's stores on my next trip to...
