yep, i want to thank eric for having us, its really refreshing to talk to a lfs store owner who is very knowledgable and honest about reefkeeping and equipment. i was pleasantly surprised at the size and layout of the fish garden. i really wish eric would open another store on the northside, that 160 mile round trip killed me.
Dont even go there charles.

Yep, a gorgeous store, and a really interesting presentation. I had the pleasure of chatting briefly with Erik at an open house in September, and found him very pleasant to speak with. We're very appreciative that he offered his hospitality to us last night, and I'm sure his shop will become a regular haunt for many of us, IMO it's well worth the drive.
Thanks to Erik and staff!

Thank you Fish Garden!
Thanks Erik, Stan and Ross for opening up your store to us (normally closed on Tuesdays), for being available to answer our questions and for being a perfect example of Southern Hospitality!
Once again, it's nice to have another nice LFS supporting our club.
I especially liked the variety of fish The Fish Garden had to choose from as  well as the benches in the fishroom so that you can just sit and watch the behaviour of the fish.
Also, Thank You to KENT for donating the Zooplex!
Lastly, thanks Charles for pitch-hitting for Andy!
Bob

I was really impressed by the Fish Garden Store, I wish we had something like it on the northeast side. Thanks to Erik and gang for having us.

A Big Thank You
Thanks to everyone at The Fish Garden for their hospitality.
They had a great variety and some interesting fish that I had
not seen in awhile, and the store layout was wonderful.
Thank You Again!

Once again thanks to Eric and the gang at The Fish Garden. It really is a great store. We had a wonderfull meeting --- Business was kept to minimum and we were all able to get back to what we like doing --- reefing and having fun. There were many frags traded and a few of us even went in on a large purple Montipora Capricornis (sic ??) and then broke it into 4 pieces so we all got a piece.
Andy you will definatly have to bum a frag of that one from Rick or Curtis. I'ld make the offer but I only took a very small piece since I have a small tank.
If anybody missed this meeting they missed a really good one. I highly recommend taking the drive to visit his store you won't be disapointed.
Charles
