Yeah this is pretty much what I though...
He does go to the store and choose corals when he feels like it. I just meant fish are suppose to go through the guy. The reason is, the guy QT's them at his store and then puts them in my dads tank. If my dad were to start introducing anything he wanted, then all the guys hard work could be wasted. For corals though he seems to just buy most himself although the service guy can get much nicer stuff direct from wholesalers, so he said there is really no point in him buying them for triple the price and they don't look nearly as good.
The tank was all aquascaped by my dad along with the guys help. They are more of a team I guess. He just doesn't want to spend time doing all the little things when he is home.
I guess it depends how much this kind of thing would be worth to you. To him, $500 a week is nothing to have a nice tank and I would agree...if I had his salary
