Aloha from the Big Island,
I am in the process of setting up my first reef tank. Many years ago I had a fish only saltwater tank. Currently, I am in the gathering of equipment, sand, rock, etc. stage. This is turning into a surprisingly challenging task. The only LFS stores on this island that carry marine supplies are Petco which means that offerings are limited to a couple of shelves of supplies and a few fish-only tanks. However, most supplies can be found from mainland stores as long as you are willing to pay for the shipping (this is a common hazard of living in the middle of the ocean). However, I am struggling to find a source for fish, corals, and clean-up crew. There are a few places that actually produce the above locally, but they do not sell in Hawaii for various reasons. So, I could really use some suggestions on reliable merchants that would ship to Hawaii.
Thanks!
