Hey. I just joined a few days ago and I'm already so thankful for you guys. So many quick responses on a few hitchhikers I found.

I studied Marine Biology in Graduate School, trained some dolphins, worked for the government, but eventually made my way into being a Registered Nurse. After testing water at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium 8 years ago, I decided to get two clownfish and they are still kicking it with me today. Until I find a new volunteer opportunity, I find taking care of my saltwater tank is my one connection to marine biology. I just moved and found an amazing coral store. They serve you beer, cocktails or coffee depending on the kind of day you've had lol. I've decided to dive into corals which is how I found this place. So much to learn! And so much money to spend!

Look forward to talking to everyone and helping out when I can!

Hey! I’m in Lee county in Cape Coral. The store is called Seven Seas Aquatics. It is amazing! They have two locations, but the new location is 1490 NE Pine Island, Cape Coral Fl. Definitely check it out. I walked in and they had fresh baked cookies. Thought I was in the wrong place lol

I drive by there all the time. I did not know about that location, another reefer here did not say nice things about the location by Hancock Bridge but I'm open to giving this a shot!
I just checked the website! So, this makes sense.... this location is the Marine store. The other is an outlet / pet store. @TheSaltyNurse ... thanks!!! I learned something awesome today!

My favorite shop is Boardroom Aquariums on Beacon Dr in Ft Myers.

Yes we stopped there and it seems like they have some fish and coral but it’s basically a discount pet store. Typical of what you think it is. Not very well taken care of. Broadroom is on my list to stop at next.

Boardroom just announced on Instagram that they are doing a raffle for Radions. It's $3 a ticket or 1 free ticket for every $100 spent. The owner is Mark, he has two guys there - Chris and Carlos. Very knowledgeable. I'll forewarn you though... unlike a lot of LFS, they will tell you to go away if they do not think a fish will thrive and survive. They actually give a care about what happens to the livestock. How refreshing!
