There is a new local fish store in Dale City called Nova Tropicals. I have had a chance to talk with the owner, Dave Dempsey and he has agreed to give PVAS paid members 10 % off both freshwater and saltwater fish. Due to the problem with Covid, any membership card from 2019 and 2020 will be honored for the foreseeable future. Buying dry goods... ask to speak with Dave to see if there can be additional discounts. They are also interested in contact with local fish breeders.
Once we are over Covid and having club meetings, Dave showed particular interest in providing club buys. Hopefully we will see this in the coming year (fingers crossed).
Its a nice store with friendly workers who are well versed in the aquarium hobby. There are over 40 freshwater tanks, each one with its own filtration system. I have attached a few photos of the store.
Check out their website at https://www.novatropicals.com/. They also have a face book page.

I was there recently. They said I couldn't use my PVAS card (or GWAPA card). The person who rang me up showed me his PVAS card, and asked about how we were getting new ones for renewal.
