TPT: Best retail store for dry goods
I agree it does fail as far as aquarium livestock goes... Their reptile selection seems to be fantastic though...

Same thoughts I had when I went, although I really wasn't looking for any fish at the time.
It is a great place for dry goods, and it's even better when you use one of the 30% off coupons that they have all over the place (mailers & local ads.) The coupons are only good for Tues, Weds, and Thursday though.
I'm there too much as it is, but I live 5 minutes away from them. Several of the fish-room guys I went to school with, and they are on the same page as far as the quality of livestock. It is what it is I suppose.

You are lucky to live so close to that store. I was coming back from training a Fort Indiantown Gap PA National guard base in Annville, Lebanon Township PA. I almost wrecked when I drove past the Twizzler factory on Old Tree Road. Man the smell of fresh Twizzlers is intoxicating. They had lace rock and THR for 2 bucks a pound. I'll probably drive back up next month to pick up some more stuff. Hopefully the fish selection will be better. The wife and I contemplated buying a house near Lake Redmond but we could not get down for child care.

I'd hate to have to tell people that mailing address over the phone.
Honestly, I wouldn't count on it, but I've gotten lucky a few times.

Outside of the saltwater section the selection and quality of fish has always been a disappointment. It has improved with the new manager. It was much worse.
The biggest problem they have in my humble opinion is the central system. If it were up to me I'd have a gravity flow drip system with overflows and sponge filters or even better the foam from Hans in every tank.
The hardest problem in getting fish is the variety. Some transhippers have minimum order requirements. One in particular requires $4000 a month in fish alone. Others $1000 a shipment and some just two boxes of fish. It's hard to get in the variety that will satisfy the one tank family and the 130 tank nutcase.
But yes having them about 30 minutes away is really nice. It's great for the supplies we need like salt and some other supplies that we don't want to buy in bulk.

I believe they do list it as a carved rock, so it would be $3/lb with their loyalty/rewards membership.
