    Yeah something really happened there, being that the whole time they "were moving to another location" and just never bothered to open up said new location ;)
    Do any of you guys ever hear from them anymore?

    I heard that they are doing fine, just not operating a business right now. I guess what happened is that when they were moving, after they got everthing shut down, they decided not to open back up due to the crappy economy..............I guess they are waiting for things to pick up before they open again. But from what I understand, they technically never went out of business. It sucks too, because they were starting to get a real nice coral selection going!

    Hey hows the one in Truckee? I might head up there and check them out. I just need someone with good healthy fish, the shipping for ordering them online kills me.

    PM Arcain41. She knows the company that owns/maintains the tanks at Scheels, Atlantis, etc. They can sell livestock to our club. I believe they have a 10 day guarantee as well, but she would know more about the details. They are based out of Sparks.

    Truckee is cool. The guy that runs the store is not your average salesman. He flat out told me that the fish I wanted to buy had not acclimated enough and that he'd like to watch it a couple days before I spent money on it. IMO that is how you run a fish store.
    Having said that, I dont want you to get your hopes up. It IS a pet store. NOT a fish store. There is one wall dedicated to saltwater. The fish have always been healthy and fat. It just isnt very big. I live in Reno and make the drive regularly. There is a small...two tanks...I think, coral section. I hope the info helps.
