Anyway, the tank is looking great! I was planning on planting my spare 20 and now I think I definately will.
The best fish store in NJ is the Pet Shanty. Period. Go to petshanty.com to get directions. The place is a very low-key mom & pop store filled with incredibly intelligent staff and it isn't overpriced. They have an 18 year-old coral there!
Their freshwater selection is like what Absolutely Fish's saltwater section looks like. Huge. They also have a great plant selection. The place isn't as glitzy and snazzy looking as absolutely fish or the fish tank, but i think it is a far superior store. I've developed a friendship with the people there over the last year and they are really flexible about losing fish and stuff, unlike Absolutely Fish.
Also, if you want to buy a fish off me, come to Pet Goods on rt. 17 in Paramus. It is a pretty mediocre place with some need stock.
