Petland used to have pretty decent prices when they were over in Central Park Mall. It was one of those things that you just had to keep an eye out for the occasional "deal." I did get a great deal there on a magnum that was obviously mismarked.

I think the problem with most of these pet stores is that they try to be all things to all people and the owner and staff obviously aren't as knowledgeable in a specialty such as salt water. The really bad part is that most of their customers are probably beginners that are even more clueless and end up having a really bad experience that results in everyone they know hearing another saltwater failure story. Those stories are what end up scaring people away from the hobby.

OK, I think I'm up to 4 cents by now.
