I think I might need rehab...

I hear you, I think everyone in this area would agree that we need a MAJOR upgrade in LFS's.

 

heh, we in the quad cities need a major upgrade in lfs.

 

Vvolfe1 had an idea a while back, if we could get one of the frequent flyers to make use of their miles. The could  make a run to LA and bring back a couple hundred dollars worth of corals.  But apparently the idea wouldn't fly due security issues and limits on carry on item's.   Aquatic Environments had some good stuff last week, but they were kind of limited this week.  The did have some small clams, I think they were maxima's for $29.99.

Yeah its a shame one of us doesn't fly around a whole bunch where they would have those miles available.
Problem is of course getting things home. Packing them in appropriate boxing for normal shipping would probably work, but there is the chance that a package can get lost for multiple days. LAX connects through both ORD and DEN. I expect that flying direct from ORD to LAX and back would work best to avoid connections through Denver or Chicago.

My dad used to go down there and cherry pick from the distributors all the time. He would just drive down, cherry pick a vanload of cool stuff and put it in big garbage cans full of saltwater with those live well airaitors in them. Then he would drive home strait through and half way home he'd stop and do a water change.
