Been awhile since anyone has shared any new experiences or talked about the stores changing for the better or worse.
I know that Chris at AT rocks and I hate to go there when he's not there. AT now gives our club members a 15% discount which is good on dry goods. I have been by a couple of times and haven't seen much of a selection in there so I don't browse as often as I used to.
AB on the other hand has been getting all kinds of nice stuff in but some how people get in and buy the stuff up early and quickly. Mike is also getting more equipment in the store which AT doesn't have. You can special order things at AB too. Mike will wheel and deal with you too which is nice. The guys that work for him are getting better at giving advice and I know for a fact that they are careful what they say when I am in there!

Even if you aren't buying anything stop by and visit them and see for yourself. I got a beautiful pink acro and it came with two crabs (one good and one bad (the bad one went to the sump)). But the coral is doing wonderful. New coral for future fragging in the club!!!
