So I have been desperately trying to find a local fish store that I am comfortable making purchases from and giving my business to. I decided today I would go on a adventure and visit as many store as I could to kind of get a feel for it. The nearest places to me are each about 30-40 minutes away. I know this sounds dumb but as a first time Saltwater keeper and only been doing it for 6 months I figured it be the best way so I can figure out what is best. So today i took my kids to two fish stores. The first store we went to was nice but pricey. The big draw back for me is I want a place where I can buy corals. This place had beautiful corals. Inside the frag tanks though was aptasia everywhere all over the frags and rack. I decided not to get any corals from here because I didnt want to have to deal with the problem of aptasia being new to hobby. Now my question for other reefers is that normal for most LFS to have aptasia in their display tanks and I am just over reacting? The second fish store I had to walk right in and out they only had one Saltwater tank and it had nothing in it just the rock.
