    They have some tanks for 50% off. Saw a couple 20H, one 40BR and lots of 10,5 and 2.5.
    For the most part, its' 10% off except for a few select items. They did have some Aqueon led hoods for 46 bow front for 75% off at 15.75. A few SW fish left at 10% off. Now that they own Liveaquaria maybe they're going to push the online biz harder.

    Yep. I'm not a fan of the chain pet stores, but Petsmart takes much better care of their animals and their store. They gave me a look at their filtration room once, and they definitely keep up with their maintenance. Also smart to just stay out of the SW side of things.

    I stopped in there the other day to snag some odds and ends. They had a couple cases of 5/8 vinyl tubing, not priced. I asked the girl at the register to scan a roll for me, she said it's $.99.... For the 25ft roll... Long story short, I have about 200 feet of 5/8 hose in my garage...
    Their fish department has been abismal for quite awhile. But, you get what you pay for when it comes to employees.
    I wish there was a lfs in the cedar valley, luckily I live in independence and bill at the fish shack in Manchester is just a quick drive east.
