Is he open there yet or still getting everything set up? I have been dying to put something new in my tank and cant find what I want. I think the answer to your question is yes, they're open and yes, they're still setting everything up. I went by and looked around, I'd say it's about 1/2 way stocke...

I've got to by more salt mix. I have only used Oceanic. Should I try others ? Are they different ?

What would happen if it was more or less than that?
