We went on a little surprise adventure today. Apparently, there is a new local fish store in a neighboring town, about a 35-minute drive from home. So we went and checked it out. It's little but clean, and the owner seems like a good dude. He said he did the store instead of starting a giant tank. His prices seem fair, and his vendor and he both do a short QT. It's not the 30-day variety, but 10 days with copper. He had a handful of coral and a decent fish selection for the size of the store. I picked up a neon dottyback that I had never considered but think will make a great addition. I also got some hermit crabs, a giant Mexican turbo, and a small toadstool frag. I have been struggling with PH levels, but I think it's due to my salt. I want to get through this box, and I will switch. While there I got some buffer to help bring the PH up until I run out of salt. He carries Fritz RPM, so I will probably go with that unless I hear bad stuff about it. I want to help support the small store where I can, even if it means using the salt he carries. I know the picture is bad, but he's tough to photograph. Once the toadstool opens back up I'll post a picture of it.
Super excited to have some life in the tank.
