Looking for a new store

S

SlingingBuddha

I live in Jackson, Nj I'm looking for a new saltwater store with a wider selection of fish and inverts. I currently go to tropiquarium but I feel like they don't have a huge variety and their prices are fairly high in comparison to online. That being said I haven't really been to any other real reef stores so maybe this is the going rate for fish in store. Regardless any recommendations to any nice stores in the area with a wide variety?

Ps I know we have the section for stores in the area I'm just looking for people's personal favorites

Its not. Im saying that the distance from where i am geographically located to a decent fish store like one of the three listed is quite expansive and requires multiple hours of driving.

Another Vote for Aquatic obsessions here. Will is a class act, and carries a great variety of live stock both sessile & motile. His display tank is something else too, he has a lot of very cool stuff in there. Additionally he carries lots of reefing odds and ends that I have a hard time finding elsewhere.

I would love to know where these stores are? I am in NNJ about 20 mins from Manhattan and the only stores by me are Reef Encounters & Absolutely Fish.

I highly recommend "Red Sand" I've gotten some quality frags from Feng, his fish selection isnt great but you'll be surprised once in awhile. Last I heard and on his subforum here that he has moved about 2 blocks down his current location. I havent checked it out yet and I do not know if he is open but once he does I highly suggest checking him out for some frags.

Hidden reef in PA really surprised me with their selection of dry goods and aquariums as well as their live rock bins. Some decent rock was only $3.99 a pound.
