Why Would Zeeland have a Salt Water Aquarium Store?

It has not been proven by any alleged scientist anywhere that global warming could raise the ocean levels high enough to make Zeeland Michigan an Atlantic Coastal town. That is not why the Fernandez brothers, Adam and Nick are giving a face lift to their quaint store.
“Saltwater aquariums are a good allergy-free alternative to pets, but a lot of people see it as a hobby,” says Adam, 29. “Others see it as living art, an interior decorating design statement.”Two brothers renovate, reopen Zeeland’s best kept secret—a saltwater aquarium store

In addition to the new interior, the owners have reduced their operating costs by some 40 percent by taking some simple conservation measures. Placing acrylic covers on the aquariums when the store is closed reduced water evaporation from 30 gallons a day to two gallons a day. That alone saves the store about $700 a month in water and deionization costs.
A new ultraviolet sterilizer zaps parasites, saving anywhere from $600 to $900 a month by keeping the inventory alive and healthy.
MooPig Enterprises loves to see fiction turn into fact: "Eco Reef, owned by brothers Adam and Nick Fernandez since 2006, recently underwent an interior renovation to spruce up the store’s displays of live fish and corals. The inventory includes clown fish (Nemo), blue hippo tang (Dory), lion fish, stingrays, sea horses, and even shark eggs customers can hatch in their home aquariums."
Now that is foresight MooPig likes to trust. Zeeland is the New Atlantic City boardwalk... no? Prove it.
