One of my struggles with my tank has been getting to an LFS since I moved to Las Cruces, NM from Phoenix, AZ 2 years ago.
There are two LFS in El Paso Tx (1 hour away) and 2 in Albuquerque (2 1/2 hours away) but for some reason, all four are closed Mondays and Tuesdays. I work as a Night Shift Nurse 12 hours a night Wednesday through Saturday, and usually sleep through Sundays, so getting to any of them has been tough.
I have wanted to get a Sea Hare for my tank (I always loved my old one in a previous tank, and they are great for hair algae control, a major issue right now with only 2 fish in a 210 gallon aquarium.) I know my old Phoenix LFS of choice always has Sea Hares in stock, so, since I managed to actually get a Saturday night off due to a class I had to teach, I drove to Phoenix (5 hours) to get a Sea Hare (I have never had one ship alive)
I made the trip worth it as far as supplies, etc, but just wondering what is the farthest you have (or would) drive for a favorite LFS?
