I'll tell you what it looks a heck of a lot better than the LFS in my town. The one in my town is a joke but I only have to drive about an hour to get to a good one.

That is a pretty nice tank compared to my LFS. Everything looks pretty healthy in that tank. The stuff they have my LFS looks like it cam from the bottom ofa bait bucket.

Mmmm, bait. Hehe. I agree though. That display tank isn't bad at all. And lets not forget that those prices are in CANADIAN DOLLARS!!!

An arm and a leg? Or is it two arms and one leg? Just two arms? Well... i think i would give one arm and one leg... at least you can somewhat walk and somewhat do stuff with your hands... like type these messages, or feed your fish. No arms don't give you much room to work with and no legs... well... at least you got arms to pull yourself around i guess. But, I'm assuming that their pricey?? :)

The LFS by me has a "coral" tank where not only do they charge an INSANE amount for corals, the tank itself has a N.O. tube over it and is about 24" tall. Most of the corals are either dead or dying too.
