I just wanted to drop a line about the few places I shop here in NE Ohio area including a NW location in PA. RMS Aquaculture is a nice place in Willoughby and the sw employees are great too. Props to Chuck and his wife who not only have to deal with me online but in the store too, not to mention when in the store if someone dosen't know something we call Chuck :) or attempt to look it up. Thanks again. Another little place is the Coral Connection also in Willoughby if I cant find it at RMS I have a good chance of finding it there or the other way around staff is knowledgeble and may I add neither store is pushy. The tanks of both stores are in most respects clean and fish look healthy or stay in QT. A small store in Geneva is The Sea Shanty this is a family owned business and they are always ready to give the best home remedy's before selling you a product. Tanks aren't quite as clean overall but the fish always seem to look healthy. They seem to carry the easier to keep or different harder to find on occasion types of fish although they do not just maintain or specialize in sw so the selection smaller. Now my new found treasure palace is in Erie PA 14th Street off of exit State Street downtown. This place is called Coral Cave. Love it I have never seen cleaner tanks and such healthy fish/inverts. Great selection of corals at all times and if you dont have the right equipment the owner will not sell it to you. That means he does not give you a choice, he just refuses. This store is also family operated by the owner Steve and his wife and the little clean up girl their very young daughter always keeping the floors clear of drips:) :) They are very knowledgeble and the prices are tight for the quality that they provide. I suggest any of these to anyone in the area and if it is a bit of a drive it is worth it to view just what they all have to offer.
