What an awsome group of people....ive had a few people offer to help me out,i have no problem paying for someones time and materials,im just not so nuts as to pay a local fish store 1000 to 1500 bucks,more than i paid to get my tank built.
Ive been interested in this hobby since i went snorkling in Aruba a few years ago and I am just starting to get into it now,i just have the tank done. But it seems to me that the local fish stores are never very busy and the mark up seems crazy.
Im suprised that someone doesnt open up a store with lower prices working on volume,ie. build ten tanks at 200 dollars profit each instead of one at 500 bucks profit.Just a newbies view on it.
