I'm envious of all you 2min-1hour people.

Now that I've skimmed through all the posts, it seems that many members on here are very close to their lfs. Do you think that has any bearing on being in the hobby? If you moved closer to the LFS just to be close to it, do you have a problem?

i think living so close to so many def helps in the hobby, if theres a sale i mean im there in five mins 3 if i speed lol plus im not sure on the number but theres about half a dozen in the city all within 30mins drive im sure

if you moved just to be close to a lfs that would be on the slight side of stalking lol

Blah!

Even getting a CUC was a chore for me...it's usually a 5 - 5.5hr drive to go see Ken at Blue World. When I come down, even if I don't intend to stop in for fish, there's always a cooler hidden in the back of the truck...just in case I've used J&L for most of my dry goods, and they're top notched when it comes to shipping / costs, and you can get most things you need from them, the free shipping is a bonus too. I've also just started using the Reef Shoppe for a few things, and I'm sure I will be using Kelly more and more for most of my dry good, and depending on when it's in the mail, stuff is usually at my doorstep the next buisness day before 10am

I'm actually glad I don't live near a store! Since it's a challange to get livestock, I've really been able to take the slow approach to my tank, and mature my understanding of the hobby.
