I went driving around today and found a lil' hole in the wall LFS.Got inside and they had some of the best looking FW aquariums i have seen,but the poor critters in the back were SW.
EVERY tank had horrible diatoms,algea blooms of about every sort and they did not keep thier fish up.
There was a batfish,2 yellow tangs,a sailfin tang and a dwarf lion in a 30 gal.Obviously underfed b/c you could see thier ribs.They didnt sell snails or anything so there wasnt any clean up crews.They were keeping anemones with out appropriate lighting(all nasty looking and shrivled up).They ahd a 55 gal. set up and in the corne there it was a dead volitian lion :( Poor thing.
Basically the entire marine set up looked like edited out. I am going to tell you all the name of the place so you can critisize that guy for not taking care of his place,Its called wet pets,here in sevierville..I asked if he would hire me but he said no i even told him i gad expierince.SAD SAD SAD :(
Comments anyone?

Actually that's pretty much the same scenario with the LFS near me. There's really not much you can do but bring it to the owner's attention, and shop elsewhere.

btw...I edited your message. Don't try to evade the profanity censor by changing the spelling of a word. Thanks!

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have heard that sad story!!!! The truth is there are a lot of LFS that are not taking good care of their salt tanks, fish, critters…It is very encouraging to find one that does….and those are the places you want to do business with!!!

Even if their price is a little bit more than the other places.
