I grew up in Huntsville, lived the last 3 years in Birmingham, and just moved back to Huntsville. I only got in to the hobby while in BHM, so I figured I'd go ahead and say hi on here and join in the discussions. I have a 60g Cube that is currently being set back up, all the livestock I kept for the move are in a 20g temporary tank ATM. Almost done getting the 60 ready though!

Also...anyone care to point me in the direction of some LFS around here? I'll always use the Google, but figured I'd see what you guys have to say first :)

Really only good one is the aquatic cove. There is one other but they are barely up and running.

Welcome back to HSV.
Agreed, 'Aquatic Cove' is really good; also, the people are always willing to help.

^^^This guy is a great spot to get quality frags

You've also got that new spot opening up in a couple of months in Hartselle.

If you drive to Nashville any, Aquatic Critter is also a nice reef store. As stated above, the cove is great for our area. Tony’s aquarium will be relocating to a new Hville spot. For now, he has a place in guntersville.

Aquatic cove off of hy 72 just west of wall triana and east of the target shopping center is the best.

Meant to post back the other day, but made it out to Aquatic Cove. Really nice, clean looking store! I'm talked with who I assume is the owner (?) but anyway, he was nice and helpful. Ended up buying a protein skimmer lol. My wife went with me, you know the frags look nice and the place is clean when even she was telling me "what I should buy" instead of trying to drag me out of there. Prices were sort of high for some of the corals, but man some of that stuff looked really, really good. My birthday is on Friday and I think the wife is going to let me go back :D
