Im very new to this hobby and have a small Saltwater Aquarium setup. I have been to Jacks and Petland and everyone is very nice and wants to talk about fish, but they have told me things that are not very good for someone just starting out and can lead them in the wrong direction very fast. I went to Aquariums Ect. and thought it was awesome. The guy that worked there, I dont remember his name, but he was incredibly knowledgable and helpful. I went back a few days later to ask some questions and Joel was there. He did'nt seem too friendly at first, but I probably understand why. I dont look too friendly myself from what I've been told. lol. Anyway, after speaking to him for about 10 minutes he started to really get very personable. He told me so so so much info in the span of about 30 minutes.
