Im having trouble finding wholesalers for fish and what not. Id like farm raised fish and corals as much as possible but for now just any contacts would be cool.

Well, DFS does bulk orders with businesses and ORA only does business with retail stores.

Take a look at these two links for becoming a bulk buyer from the two:
http://www.orafarm.com/ordering.html
http://www.liveaquaria.com/general/g...3990&subref=AB

I know DFS won't be cheap, but it is a start.

I think the idea of a new store that has a great selection and know what they are doing is great but Danbury h it though is definitly a long ride . I would go up to the store but not that often, Good luck wit

Well, with good advertising and customer recommendations, we should be fine. And there are quite a few of us in the area that are looking for a more local, great quality, LFS.

So we shall see how everything goes with Smitty

Your picking great locations. Close to Danbury and close to major hwys. I think this type of location is key..just my opinion.

At one time there were three shops within 2 miles of Stew's
