    I got there right at 1:00, but needed to be back in Tampa by 2:30 so couldn't stay long. I knew I shouldn't have gone... I really don't need any more stuff right now. But then I've been looking for a nice torch (and they had a few) and a mated pair of Swallowtail Angels (and they had one) and I always love zoos and they had a couple small colonies on plugs that really caught my eye.

    I'm such a f#@king addict.

    They are awesome and have helped me out quite a bit. They really know their stuff and will work with you. They are shipping my stuff out to me in Berkeley on Monday. I have to admit that I got REALLY spoiled with the quality of the aquarium trade in Orlando. It's like a desert in the San Francisco Bay area. There are a couple nice oases here and there, but they are few and far between.

    It is interesting how a huge metro area like the San Fran area can have so few quality stores yet support a thriving private organization like the Bay Area Reefers. Orlando, by contrast, is a relatively small city yet has more quality stores than I've seen most other places.
