Tell me about it! I heard about Rhinelander, that's about two hours north east of me. We used to have an LFS but they stopped caring salt water products a couple years ago. Just weren't enough ppl in the area to support the hobby I guess. But that's what I love about western Wisconsin, no people lol.yeah Wisconsin is pretty dry for local stores although has a big online game. LiveAquaria is in Rhinelander.
My local store is alright for salt water fish, they do have some coral but I might be the only person that has ever bought any of it because I know the frags by heart.. Definitely could do better on the coral side.
