Fish stores in NORTH, NJ?

Hey i am looking around for new LFS but i have only been to 3 because i dont know anymore? Can someone head me to a good store.

I have been to:
Absolutely Fish
Reef Encounter
Fish Town USA
And every PetCo & PetSmart in the closest 15miles to me.
O and that small store on 208/rt 4 Broadway (horrible little store)
And The fish Tank(closed)

Anybody in this area know more?
 
there isn't any more in the north. unfortunately the only reliable ones are absolutely fish and reef encounter. the next one (45min) aquatic obsessions (mainly for fish and coral) or ocean gallery II (awesome store but not willing to drive an extra hour plus road trip every weekend or whenever i feel like having a look.

There's Hanover Pet (a.k.a. Aquatic Visions) in East Hanover:

973-386-0885
200 State Route 10 East Hanover, NJ 07936

They're in the strip mall by the Home Depot. And, there's Kam Man in the same mall where you can buy nori.
 
I was going to ask the same question today lol. Im in Kearny NJ and thus far the petsmarts around me seems to be fine. At times I will drive up to route 17's petsmart and check out reef encounter in 1 trip. Absolute is ok as well.

Im going to check out Ocean Gallery II today hopefully. If not i work around there and will check it out this week the latest.
 
Theres manhattan aquarium over in the city, few more but havent checked them out. Went there today, really nice store, awesome selection of corals. Picked up a purple plasma acro and ricordia frag. Uniquecorals.com
 
underwater (vendor) doesn't sound too far. it's close to jersey gardens. so if you drive like not to mention me. you'd get there probably in 30 minutes unless you go during traffic time. I couldn't even get around that.
 
OgerHanover pet is trash.

Absolutely fish is good for fish, reef encounters dry goods, ocean galley everything.

Personally I live in Caldwell and I make the trip to og every 2 weeks. The service and selection of corals is hard to match.

I might take a ride down to AO.

But can't beat og
