I stalked this forum a million times doing all my research so figured I'd make it official now that I actually have something up and running.

I'd been out of the fish tank world for 20 years, then last year my wife decides to get a planted 10 gal freshwater going that's been super successful so decided to get back into it with an Evo 13.5 that she got me for Christmas.

Fun little tank, looking forward to adding more stuff. And yes it was fully cycled before adding fish my cycle only look 12 days using Dr Tims bacteria, ammonia drops, some killer GLR rock and an overkill amount of water testing.

Welcome to R2R from Olympia.
I'm in your neck of the woods often, my kids play softball and volleyball up that way a lot. Any REALLY good fish stores up there (but not all the way into Seattle) that would be worth the drive? There's some decent ones on Portland, just haven't found the one to call home yet, and online for livestock makes me nervous.

There is nothing in the Olympia area I would recommend.
Cuttle Fish down your way. Portland has a few more I know.
Then all the way up to Renton is Barrier Reef Aquariums and over to Bellevue is Salt Water City.
There is one really great lady in Auburn with a garage store. Coraltopia ( mostly a Facebook presence. )
