There are a couple shops. The one local shop here "dabbles" in salt. Their coral selection is 90% leathers stuffed into a couple shallow 40 gals and a few 20. Gallon tanks of low maintenance low end fish. Although they did think it was a good idea to try selling some Moorish Idols not too long ago. The same ones who want $60 for a 5 gal pail of instant ocean.
I have nothing against supporting local business. In fact I wish I could, but I work way too hard for my money to stomache paying that much for a pail if salt when 5 mins from my shop I can get same for $29

Thank you for the great offer Garry, I will take you up on it at some point.
I used to support that store as much as possible up until a year ago. ( no did not buy their $60 salt either) The sales person told a neighbor fellow reefer (newish to saltie) who was having an ich outbreak that the cooper based medication was safe for his tank, lost all his corals..shrimp...he knew enough to know that he shouldnt do it but was convinced by sales person it was ok. No explaining about quarantien tanks etc. Just a here take this give me your money, bu bye..sad

There is a new store that just opened not to long ago, got bare min at this time but hopefuly once established a bit better they will be a bit more competative.
