    ShoTank changes

    Just learned Matt is off to Hawaii, store is sold. I find this disheartening (for us). Anyone know the new owner or been to the shop? One thing about Matt, he had a knack for selecting healthy fish. Never had a loss from one I got from him, and that I can't say about anyone else. Bummed.

    Jose Dieck's Bottlebrush

    Anyone want to split 50lb bag of kalk?

    Time for me to get another bag. Half bag lasts me 2 yrs. If you have a large system and drip kalk, let me know. Only want to split in half so you pay and take half, in a 5G bucket or in the bag. About a buck a pound. So figure $25.

    Out of the Blue Aquatics?

    Was in St. Charles yesterday and saw this store. Peeked in the door (they were closed) and saw no evidence of livestock. But maybe there is a back rom. Anyone heard of the place? Any good?
