I have been thinking for awhile now that its hard to find good lfs. I travel a lot and I always try to find a shop to stop at but I always go to Google and it never helps. so I was wondering what everyone's favorite lfs is and say where its at like which state, if you don't feel comfortable saying what state that's fine.
 
Sadly most my LFS are shady and scammy. So unfortunately I do most my shopping online. I'd prefer to support local businesses. But really how many times can you get burned before enough is enough?
 
I'm lucky i live in the Tampa Bay Area and there are a lot of really good stores around. Fish and other itchy stuff is probably my favorite. John I think is name is is really cares about what he is doing and won't sell you anything you really should not have. Quarantines his new arrivals to make sure they are healthy before he puts them in the main displays too. One of many in the area and most are really good.

I miss the stores in Tampa!
 
I am lucky, its just a two hour drive down to the twin cities (Minneapolis/St. Paul) and there are a multitude of good LFS's down there. Bulk Reef Supply is also located there. Minnesota is rich with aquarium resources!
 
I live in manassas Va and have 3 LFS that I go to. Incredible corals, Capital aquariums and for SPS I go to blue ribbon Koi.
 
There's not a lot of really good stores in West Virginia so I always go to the ones in Ohio but I still want too see what all is out there
 
I go to cte aquatics in Timonium, MA The owner is very trustworthy and his corals and fish are always very healthy
 
Best in central Illinois is aquarium obsessions. Amazing corals and fish. Expending currently to new larger coral tables.

Second I go tonis Charlie's aquarium. They are more a pet store then dedicated salt, but she tries to get a good selection of fish in.
