Well, I finally made it there today. I'd have to give YourReef a 5 star rating on their IPO. John and his lovely wife Stacy did an excellent job.
The prices are outstanding as well. I didn't realize that large '$45' tang was a Hawaiian import. That's really a bargain considering that any specimen imported from Hawaii, Australia, or the Red Sea is going to carry a premium price tag.
I couldn't believe I bought 2 clams, a starfish, and coral dip for under $60.
It was also nice to run into some fellow MARS members during my trip. All livestock was healthy. The percentage of drygoods that actually have a turnover is extremely high. The choice of interior paint really warms the place.
The new logo was well designed (nice job, Chris). Don't forget to save me a t-shirt Stacy!

You should have been there yesterday when all that was only $40 ;-) Just kidding.

I think they were $15, I almost got me a few. Matter of fact I meant to, but after 20mins the kids were approaching critical mass.

Sounds to me like you believe that all other tangs from other LFS are net caught from Hawaii.. :lol: if so, you may want to do more research.. i'd suggest you use the Search button and Read
.. just in case you didn't know, not all tangs are net caught! and those that are DO go for more $$.. when i first started the hobby, i looked at fish price over quality and can say that i lost several non-verified net caught fish.. since then, i've made it a point to buy net caught fish.. to date, i've only loss 1 verified net caught fish; a Red Sea sailfin.. and it was because my other tangs beat the cr@p out of it and i had no way to catch them..
as for John's store, definately :thumbsup: i didn't pick up any corals or fish today, but did pick up some IO and a PhosBan reactor..
BTW.. Karl snagged 2 of the H.hippopus.. don't remember if there are any left.

He had 2 gorgeous flame angels as well.Man I want one too,I love those things....Justin,
I was staring at those two flame angels as well. I wanted to get one also, but before I left the house, Stacy said 'No more fish." She repeated it several times. So I ended up with a gorgeous star thingy (we won't use the F word) and four emerald crabs.
Below is the star thingy. Anybody know what specie it is?
Thanks
Minh

That's the coral eating pink polka dot star from Sri Lanka. You can either give me the star or the coral.

If I remember correctly I think I saw 2 hippos. They were about 2-2 1/2 inch in size. I was there around 3-3:30 time frame. The 2 were in excellent condition.

Marc - I can't possibly give you the pink polka dot star. Last I heard, your tank has a radiation problem.

PS - thanks John and Stacy for opening a great store. I wonder if the Stacy finally got tired of all of John's friend coming over to his house, thus forcing John to open a store. :lol: I guess she FINALLY gets her house back.

Other than somewhat hard to keep alive for a long time, I have heard good things about them

Im excited as well so much I thought I should help you see how much more asymetrical aesthetically pleasing your frag could be.
You just happen to end up with an extra for me as well
