I made my last delivery to my LFS today. He is closing his doors on December 31st. He's been at that location for 10 years but just can't make a living at it any more. huh

It's too bad since he is a very good guy and a very reliable offload when I had too much inventory. He loved my BNs too but I didn't have any for him this time. huh

Such a shame,  We had an excellent fish store only go feet up a couple of years ago.  It broke my heart.  He moved to an excellent location and a fucking PetSmart opened up right across the street. 
Always move forward. Never look back.

This was a beautiful store with plenty of fish and equipment, etc. I will go back to him in a couple of weeks to see what the  markdowns are. He has plenty of tanks for sale of course but I will be looking more for filters and medium.

I don't want to put anything out there if I'm not ready. Most people know me through the local fish club. It's the only club in this state. lol
