Well, I went to Emperor's Ocean on Saturday to find out they are gone. I for one am very disappointed as that was the closest place to me, and Jason was always a huge help to me. In fact, most of the components I have for my 300 Gallon (Incl. the tank) came from him.
Then, I went to Clark's where I found out Nemo's Cove has already shut its doors. I swear that place wasn't around very long at all.
It is amazing that we don't have enough reefers here to keep these places open. I guess the profit margin in Salt Water fish stores just isn't there, and you have to have volume to survive. Granted Southwest Reef is still an amazing shop, and I am sure they do ok. But the key, I guess, is having what your consumer needs, when he/she needs it, which is why Southwest Reef does well. I partially blame the economy too, people just don't have much expendable cash for hobbies.
Anyways, there hadn't been a new post in days in our forum, and I thought I would go on a little Rant.
Good Luck Jason with your next quest in life. Was great having you up in the heights while it lasted, and I will miss having Emperor's Ocean to visit and buy stuff. Thanks for all your help.
