"I recently moved to Nashville and wanted to startup a 150gal reef tank. Not knowing anyone in the area ,I set appointments with 2 different referrals from different fish stores. Neither one of them show up for our appointments we made. I started researching on the internet for someone to help me with the build and that’s when my luck changed."
