They are located in Fairborn Ohio. Like any other lfs good price on some and bad prices on others. Quality I would say comparable to gerbers. Looks like they are still in the process of expanding. Staff wise I think they are pretty cool.

I got there when they were just turning on the lights so in fairness I cannot comment on the coral, but they had a nice amount of it.  Nice assortment of fish also. It would be nice if they can make a go of it.  I love the display tank they are setting up.

How long have they been open?

I know someone who deals with them, almost exclusively. He's very impressed with them. I haven't made it to their store yet tho.
Here's their website: http://www.saltwaterfishandcoral.com/  its still under construction. I talked to the owner last night and he's thinking about sponsoring Ohio Reef, along with some other clubs.

I haven't been there yet, but I think I'll have to check them out.  I'll let you know what I think.

If I am thinking of the right place (I live in Beavercreek), the store is operated by some brothers that do the "fish thing" on the side, as they own a construction company - pretty sure the hours are limited, but they are great at opening up the shop if you make an appointment.... the "expansion" has been an ongoing vision for a few years now... IMO, it's like anywhere else with regards to pricing - I thought some items were reasonable while others were way over priced....

Stay cool everyone...

Stopped by there this week. They had a large amount of corals, did some cherry picking and brought home some sweet pieces.
They have a blonde naso with streamers about 10" or more there very healthy. all their fish and corals looked healthy. They were setting up 24 new tanks when I was there as well. Spoke with the owners and they said they were looking into possibly becoming a sponsor of Ohio Reef. Give them a try.
