The name of the store seems really familiar. I bet it's the same guy that runs a store down here in Pharr/Edinburg. He's pretty much the only saltwater store in the RGV area (minus Petland and Petco which are extremely limited and really hit-or-miss.)

The owner apparently worked at the Texas State Aquarium and like Jon said he doesn't believe in protein skimmers for one. Two, again a point Jon made, the only tank in his store down here that has anything other than the NO lighting is a heavily stocked reef tank and I think that has a Current USA T5 fixture over it. That tank was also COVERED in hair algae.

They seem to be on the extreme of the hobbyist end of the spectrum and tend to take a hands-off approach to the tanks. I didn't see any test kits the one time I went to the store down here. Oh and re: water changes I believe he said they did them once or twice a year and just topped off with RO water.
