Hello, welcome to R2R!!

I live around the augusta, GA area. Got a good LFS here, Bob's tropical fish and got a great store as well in Columbia, S.C, Fishy business. Fortunately I live between the two lol. Not sure which would be closer to you though .

There is only one in Savannah and it used to be very good, has swapped over to more reptiles than aquatics. Exotic Underworlds. The old owner and his sons worked with me for a decade on my tanks.

Orlando is a short 4 hour drive for an amazing store - top shelf aquatics.

Welcome

Hey Everyone!

Already joined few weeks ago.

Thinking of moving to Georgia from Cali.

Just wanted to know if there are any local Savannah residents here. Beautiful city btw.

I don't see any local fish stores in the area worth checking out..I think like two that have horrible reviews... How do you guys get your corals and such other than online vendors?

thank you!

We’re in Richmond Hill. Not many great options for LFS here. There are a couple but I buy my livestock online.

Yeah .. I heard about that store... Too bad.
I believe its kinda near me. I'm over at Georgetown. Or I own property there that I'm thinking of moving into and not going thru with renting the house out.

Wow!!! No way! Top shelf is in Florida??!??

Man what the heck?! How come all the best stores are in Florida? Used to be so cal in the late 90s early 2000s. I guess southerners appreciate the hobby more than us yanks lol!

I'm still shocked how there are no stores in Pooler or any of the newer towns in Savannah!! Like I said.. I wish I had some capital to start a store out there.. question is.. will the locals get into it?

Hmmm..

Welcome, I am in Woodstock. There are 4 LFS close by, and a couple more about an hour away. Savanah is a nice place to visit... IMHO

In GA nw of Atlanta. Atlanta Reef Club is our local forum. We have members that live a few hours away as well. It can be worth making the trip from Savannah for our meetings/frag swaps for some killer local deals. Or just putting together deals on our forum and making a trip. I'm sure we have members that can guide you in the right direction for any stores closer to the area as well.

Hi and welcome to Reef2Reef!

 

[bnord]

Athens here and welcome too our fair state
Savanah will have no reef shops but your restaurants will make up for it

Atlanta is rich in quality shops and the Atlanta Reef Club has Georgia wide representation

best of luck

and avoid these…

Welcome to R2R! Georgia here, but I’m in North GA. I can’t help point you to Savannah LFSs but I can say that Savannah is probably GA’s most beautiful city. The entire downtown is all historic houses. I’m a SCAD alum and really loved it there when I lived out that way.
I live up in North GA now and we have the Atlanta Reef Club which meets for frag swaps every couple of months. We have a great forum for discussing reefing as well as buying and selling frags and equipment. It’s worth checking out and i bet someone there lives further south who can help point you in the right direction. Atlanta hosts a few conferences and events every year. Lots of reef stores up here as well.
