Howdy,
I live in Overland Park, KS. I can strongly recommend "Overland Park Pets" on 95th/I-35. Sometimes "Mission Pet Mart" (Johnson Dr.) has a good selection, too. I got my 220 gal tank from there, they have the lowest "hardware" prices in the entire metropolitan area. These are both family-owned stores, where the people care about their fish. Please don't even consider PetsMart or PetCo. If nothing else, go to Lawrence and visit "Pet World". They also have great fish, and even some monsters! Hey, it's only 30-50 min away (depending where in KC you live). I always enjoy browsing their selection.
Let me knwo if you need more info,
