Central Wisconsin has next to nothing for the hobby, this Ace and Petco are basically the options within 2 hours of me. Our Petco is actually decent but... ya know. I am very new to the hobby so its a struggle when the people that work at these places know even less. So I basically use the forums and youtube.We’re do you live because that is my kind of hardware store haha.
I started keeping salt water in college. At that time this guy had a mostly fish store in the basement of his dads Ace Hardware. We would buy cheap broken tanks from the distributor and go upstairs and cut new glass and silicone the new panels in. I think I had 9 or 11 tanks in my tiny college apartment, ranging from 20 to 55 gallons. On the smaller tanks I ran undergravel filters with powerheads on the bigger tanks we added homemade wet/dry filter systems that we made from broken 5 and 10 gallon tanks. Getting livestock and live rock direct from a diver in Hawaii. I feel the long distance phone call was as much as the overnight shipping.
The great part about him having a shop in his dads store was you could sit there and put together a whole system, tanks, plumbing and lighting and never leave to store.
