I've been cruising around, burning gas, reading books, and asking a ton of questions of the LFS guys in Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati.
Topnotch - Joel at Aquariums Etc. Great guy who takes the time to answer stupid questions from the newbie. Ditto the guys at Marine Solutions. Both of these places have earned my trust and my future business.
Phishy Business - Good guys, great livestock.
There are other good shops out there, but in my opinion, these guys are the BEST.
Cheers!
