I like your "local stores first" mindset but, sometimes, Azon is just too convenient.

My local fish store

Watched the whole video. That's a really nice LFS and the owner seems like a good guy. Have you been there recently and, if so, is the new display up, stocked and running by now?

Picked up a lot of corals today, had an aquaintance shut down his tank, busted seam on his redsea. Mostly acan lord, a few blastos and a beautiful rainbow chalice
Nice corals. Shame about your acquaintance's tank. Why the “bleep” do people still buy Red Sea tanks?

Red sea is still a popular brand here in australia. His tank was 12 years old mind you. No excuse but it was definitely getting on in age for a rimless

I hear you there. I’ll say this though, even if their record was spotless I still wouldn’t buy one of their tanks considering how crazy expensive they are to other systems. I definitely think part of it is the name tax. It happens to a lot of products, in that as soon as they get popular they get more expensive. At least in my casual observations.

Ive got mostly red sea products, including my tank. I love it and it works together seamlessly, but, its a nano and not a huge amout of water in there. I wouldnt buy a large redsea tank at all, id definitely be getting a CADE or a waterbox.
 

Thanks for getting the video and pics. Unfortunately, for some reason, I cannot see the video when I play it and only hear the sound.

Those acros are beautiful!
 
@That Crusso Kid went to my lfs store and took a short video of the tank for you, reef2reef deleted my other video for some reason kept crashing the app.
Also heres some of the wild acros they got in today
