    If you go into a Mom and Pop store or Walmart, could you check out what products they have? If you could also list what type of store it was in a post, that would be awesome.

    Let's see if I can do a poll correctly.

    I'm going to roll over to Petco later and see what they have. Even check Walmart.... ya never know (but the product may be old, hidden away at Walmart).

    Don't have a pen and paper when you go? Take a picture of the products with your phone. Most everyone has cameras in their phones now-a-days. I do that a lot.

    BioSpira by Instant Ocean at ONE of my LFS. Only one I've seen even though the maker of it supposedly has a better formula, never on shelfs though.

    I'm in SoCal so we can get almost all of those listed easily. In addition, LFS's also stock the European bacterial products such as Zeovit, Fauna Marin and Prodibio.

    The only one I remember seeing is Colony. We have a Petco near by (didn't check Walmart).
