    It's in New Leabanon outside Dayton. They have a pretty decent selection and awesome prices, SPS frags are 10, I got a torch with 6 heads for 30, duncans are 16 a head, I got a decent size rock covered in pulsating and pop pom xenia and 1 mushroom for 20. It's a greenhouse at an enthusiasts home thats a side business, they have like 4 big troffs of corals with 10 or so smaller acrylic tanks in a greenhouse. Check the website, and you have to give them a call before you decide to go to see if they are going to be available.

    if you go to the ranch you have to go to Marine solutions on the other side of dayton also. They are larger about twice the size but are a little more pricey, they are only open friday evening and saturday afternoon.
