Default Moral Dilemma

I just moved to Quesnel, BC (pop. 10, 000) and have finally setup a system again. So I am starting to look at what livestock retailers are in my area.

Well there is a Petco down the street from me which sells some SW stock, corals, mushrooms, etc.

In the front of the store they have a 55 gal SW display tank of which nothing in it is for sale. This tank is over run with hair algae and house 4-5 different species of anemones. They have a couple large clowns in there as well.

Installed in the tank is a large airstone pumping out so many micro bubbles it's hard to see through the water. And the lighting is just regular PC's if that.

So my dilemma is if I should mention that the anemones require much more powerful lighting and that they should not all be in the same tank or not. As well as knocking down the micro bubbles a tad, if not all together. I know there are varying opinions on air stones in SW systems.

Problem is the manager/owner is kind of a krank pot if you know what I mean, not much of a personality what so ever. Also this is the only local store that carries any SW. The next closest is 1.5 hr drive on shitty mountain roads. So I don't want to **** this person off should I need them to start ordering me some products or livestock.

I just hate to see all those anemones waste away.

Any thoughts?
