I am on the other side of the state, but it seems like there is a store called High-Tide, or somthing similar. If you come to the Raleigh area, there are plenty. I don't know how are market isn't saturated yet, but most seem to hang on by focusing on some sort of niche.

how many different possible niches are there though?

Some make their money through online sales, some through koi, some through reptiles, some through marine fish, some on coral. In other words, they all have things for the marine/reef aquarium hobbiest, even if it is not their "cash cow."

Take er easy
