Also I closed the store at the end of last January.
It's just too hard to run an honest store while trying to compete with
stores that are making 3 times the sales by telling the customers
anything and everything to make a sale.

That's hard Wayne. Sorry about that.

It seems that the Orlando area has quite a few fraggers that setup
business on ebay. It seems like an interesting line of business.

It just seems that a LFS has to run on something besides volume.

I have changed the nature of my business to aquarium consulting, and
maintenance.

That could be interesting.

There's lots of high end housing in my area and I've wondered if there
would be a business in leasing and maintaining reef tanks. Everything
would need to be automated with daily reports via an internet connection
and a weekly maintenance trip. It could be interesting and I know of
businesses that do this in other areas.

I need to remodel my kitchen and I keep thinking of a giant reef cube in
the middle of my kitchen/living room. Maybe 6ft cubed. Hopefully,
sanity and budgets will prevail, but it never hurts to dream.
