Awesome! What LFSs do you recommend when it comes to saltwater?
Elmer’s has always been my go-to for freshwater.

Yesssss, love The Reef Gallery. I went there for the first time a few months ago to check it out and was super impressed.

And no, I didn’t. Wish I would’ve known about it. Thanks for the info! How often are the expos?

The Expo is once a year. The Club usually carpools to the Cleveland area shows, next one should be October.

Welcome! I'm in the Pittsburgh area (Finleyville). My favorite store for corals has become the Petland in Norwin. I realize that sounds ridiculous, but I never leave that store disappointed. And my wife just told me that they're having some kind of sidewalk sale this week that is probably worth checking out. Definitely look out for next year's aquarium expo, always awesome deals to be found late in the day.
