I want to start by saying that I have just recently reclaimed my childhood love of hosting aquatic friends in my home. In some ways I am again a newbie.
I really enjoy this store mostly because I think they have some awsome salt aquariums and the selection seems really nice. One of the most impressive things is a nanocube that looked like it was ancient and very healthy-- when I asked they said it had only been up for less than 3 months. I do not yet keep a salt tank, I hope to go there soon.
I like the staff, they are very helpful but because some also work over in the dog and cat section they are sometimes a little less knowlegable than I would like. I also have the unfortunate experience of them allowing my partner to buy me little plastic set up of gold fish and then giving us 2 big goldfish- I cannot seem to keep amonia and nitrite levels in acceptable ranges.
I have gone in and seen a few floaters. I do know that they sell some dyed fish but I also had one employee steer us away from them and express his distaste for the practice. I found that to be honorable. I especially like that the fish area of the store is very dark and really shows off the tanks.
I think that when I am ready to dive into a salt tank they will be the ones that I trust to hold my hand. I think it is their love and it shows.
