Thanks for all the input everybody. It certainly gives me lots to consider. I think for now I will just offer some advice each time I go in there and keep watching for the actual owner. Then perhaps I will offer my assistance in anyway I can.

Fortunately they keep all the SW (aside from the disgusting display tank) in the back so I don't have to see any of it while shopping for other things.

The manager is clueless. I came to that conclusion after watching her with the SW livestock for less then a minute. She is also very touchy, seems like she could be a real beotch so I figure I would be wasting my breath anyways.

She told me that the display tank is 10-15 yrs old which tells me that they think they know what they are doing. So I am sure they are not looking for advice from any of their know it all customers.

If I ever see the owner you can gaurantee I will be cornering him and asking him some keys questions to determine his knowledge. Perhaps he is a different type of person, open to suggestions etc.

Time will tell I guess.

Thanks again everybody.

Yah I know they aren't "real" mountain roads but coming from Alberta they are close enough for me LOL, lot's of twisties!! I find I actually have to pay attention when I am driving now. How annoying!!! Ssshh!!

So how are things in PG? Not much SW stuff there either eh? I can't remember which store it was that I was in a couple weeks ago, maybe Petco?? I am not sure but they were setting up a coral tank in the back room. So that gives me hope. LOL

What type of system are you running?

Oh man did you make me laugh with this one!! ROFLMAO!!! Too funny, thanks
