I guess it depends on what your friend is looking for. Gary told me he can order drilled tanks, most lfs in Toledo don't carry them in the store,you have to order them. PSP always has a lot of "clean up crew" and Trilby tropicals had the lights I wanted, I've seen a good selection of different kinds of fish at Ocean Treasures. Your friend should make a list(one is available with maps) at the NORA website. Visit each store,scope them out and make a list of the things he wants and where they are at.
