What do you want from your LFS?

I agree with the light thing. They should have a
bigger selection. Also peices such as sockets,
wiring, bulbs, balasts, and such sold seperately.
They seem to only have complete sets.

For example: I need a double ended HQI socket. I
cant get one unless I buy a Reflector, wiring, and in
some cases bulbs and balasts.

One of the things that bothers me with FS is that most list the specimens as acropora or montipora or worse yet only by their common names.  I would like to see the full latin name more often.  I understand that not all would be classified but most are common. 

I agree with the price lists. You never know if the more regular customer gets a better price than you. I also really like the date of arrival that BW puts on their price tags. It's too bad the little LFS can't compete with the internet sites too. When a MAG 12 costs $150-180 at a LFS and $98 at Marine Depot it's a no brainer where to buy it. I'd gladly pay $10-20. The bad thing is sometimes your  buying the equipment cheaper than they are.

I think Happy hour would be cool! Mabe on there slowest day of the week. $2.00 frags or whatever.

Or buy 1 frag regular price get another for half off like Payless Shoe Store.
