Where to shop??

[Jennie]

Hello East Tennessee, I live in Southwest Virginia and I would like to know everyone’s thought on where reputable local fish stores are in the area. I am willing to drive the couple of hours to the Knoxville or Asheville area.

My tank:

Red Sea Reefer 250
Mostly softy tank
I will be upgrading hopefully to the 650 or 750 within the next year.

Also @parroki with Parrott Aquatics. They do installs too.

Wow thanks all, I will definitely check those out!

If you come to Knoxville, let me know. Maybe we could do lunch?

I second Coral Reef for fish. They quarantine and get the fish healthy before sale. Coral selection is somewhat slim compared to some, but they are expanding.

I went for the 1st time in October and loved it! I didn't have luck with the tang I purchased sadly. The selection there is amazing! I could have spent 1/2 the day in there.
