big thank you to Steve & Neal

I just wanted to let everyone know how great these guys are. Steve & (the lady who works day shift, sorry I don't know your name) at red coral & Neal at marine experience. I've started planning my first tank (83gal reef) & went seeking advice cause I've got lots of questions. knowing that I wasn't there to buy anything, they both still spent hours with me offering tips and advice on how to have a successful setup and compatiblity issues of different species in what I would like my tank to end up looking like. they could have easily blown me off and said everything you need to know is on the internet or at the library and come back when you're ready to buy something. your honesty, passion and opinions are very valuable to me and at no time did they try to push me into any purchases. I will never forget that and when I do get my tank up I will be spending plenty of my money at both places as my way of saying thank you.
