So, with work, I get to travel. this past week I was in Charlotte, NC area. I stopped by two stores. the first was Nemofish and all i can say is their fish selection was extremely good and CHEAP. I saw several CBB's for $35 and UNDER! and they looked good too. their tanks were packed with fish and very little decorations. it was a small store. maybe the size of the old Emerald bay store before they moved. Coral selection was decent. nice guys. I didnt take any photos though. All they had was Saltwater. Nothing else.

then I went over to a place called Fintastic. WOW. here, I did take photos. It is a massive two story shop in a higher rent area (think Providence place). Fish and coral thus were higher but in good shape from what I could tell.

Greeted by the shark tank.

Then on to the corals. First off, they are really into Frogspawns.... Sadly, I saw these two in a triangular tank dukeing it out. tank was maybe 15 gallons.. :-(

Would be a nice place to look around but judging from the prices I can see I wouldn't be buying much.
