Do NOT go to Tropical Paradise with a wallet full of cash like I did today. If you do, you will come home with a lighter wallet and some gorgeous corals! I came in saying "Ok Ryan - 2 Frags, Thats it". I left with a frag, a small rock with 4 different color zoa's on them and an awesome Bali aquacultured colony 3"x3"x3". Nice tan color with sweet lavender tips. Good thing my tank is almost full or I would have emptied my wallet further! :D Just wanted to compliment the owner (Eddie?) on his great store. If you see this post Eddie, Im the kid who came in and had to pick his jaw up off the floor after seeing your huge Blue Tort colonies. :) Cheers!

Been thinking of making the drive down there to check it out. Everything I have read has just praised TP to the roof. Thinking I might leave all forms a debit and credit at home for the trip lol and just take cash that I have to spend lol. Thanks for the warning.

Ya I saw that tank. Its still empty though. His other big cube tank with surges is very impressive. Tons of huge acro colonies. Good idea about the credit cards. Only bring what you can afford to lose- I mean spend :D
