Unfortunately, not in Bishop. We have a couple of generalist "Pet Shops" 
here, but fish are really their weakest link. Their main products seem 
to be puppies, birds, rodents and foul odors.

They don't even carry the most rudimentary water test kits. I can get 
those at the local spa dealer, but the prices are simply outrageous.

Aquatic plants are out of the question, here, and no one has reef salt 
as there are no salt-tank suppliers closer than Reno.

I found some at "Big K" but they have metal hooks and look difficult to 
adapt to the post-type mounting of the Tetras.

My memory is that the Lee's are clear and last way longer than the 
original green ones. Those turn rough, crispy and useless after a few 
months, if not securely attached to the tank wall. I just need to get 
everything by mail, so would appreciate any leads to an on-line source.
