LFS' On long island

[SlugSnorter]

Agreed. Unfortunately, that seems to be the case for just about any pet store that has dogs and cats available.

even worse due to "exotic" animals that need more care, and are kept in conditions that they cannot survive, as there aren't even basic regulations for them

I know it's pretty niche, but does anyone know if any of these places sells macroalgae? Other than chaeto lol. I collect as many different species as I can to both just have in my DT and also to eventually grow out and sell to others that are interested in macros. I'm always on the look out for possible new sources but never really tried most of the LFS's on the island because I assume they probably don't carry any macros. Thanks!

Thanks! Yeah it's really cool! I had some earlier this year but I think my tank was too young (added just after the first cycle was completed) or my lights weren't strong enough for hypnea so it didn't do well. I'm waiting for the vendor I got it from to restock to try again now that I've upgraded the lights and the tank is nearly a year old. I've searched the internet for months and I feel like I've found every possible online vendor (in the US at least). So now I've just been focusing on forums and social media to find other reefers that might have something interesting. Thanks again for the tip!
