Heading down to South which fish stores?

Hey guys,
I'm heading down to Ocean city/Atlantic city area and i figured i would check out some fish stores on my way back. I searched a few that came to mind but they weren't in the area ::) So if you happen to know of a few that are worth stopping at lmk. I'll have to check them out tomorrow.
Thanks guys :)

Depending what way you are coming back I would hit up Tropiquarium and reef to reptiles as they are right across the street from each other in Ocean NJ. They are about 2 miles off the parkway which makes it easy to get back on and off (exit 100a if you are going north). Further up the parkway off exit 129 is Aquatic Obessions which is about 10 mins off the parkway and without a doubt worth the stop.

Sorry, thought you meant you were coming down from way up north. It is late and I did just finish watching Duke win so I am a little slow. Well hopefully it will help someone else out. :)

Thanks but uh actually those are north east of me. How is Ocean Aquarium?
AVOID. DO NOT GO IN THERE. When I was in high school, that store sold me (after assuring me I could keep them with no problem) a butterfly, a maroon clown, and a puffer FOR A 10 G. Now, Now, I've been back since, but I can't say it has gotten better. The last time I was there (about a month before MACNA, i was eyeing a pretty eel, and the guy tried to talk me into it for my 20g. . . only now I know better. AVOID.

Nikki- who talked to you about that? That doesn't seem like something that both my buds working in there would do?!?!? Could you let me know? Maybe they hired someone recently- or it may be one of the two hmmmmm.....

Sounds like John the owner.. Yeah he will sell you fresh water fish for a reef tank or visa versa.. He got me to when I first started reefing telling me a chocolate chip starfish was reef safe.. I still have the chocolate chip but he is in the Naughty tank now after learning the hard way :(
