Keep in mind we're talking saltwater store! For extra credit let us know what the name of the store it is!

Used to be Reef Oasis about 5 minutes away, which sadly closed :( Now it is Bluefish which is about 25 minutes away.

We have one and about 5 min from the house, but I wont mention the name because they are pretty awe-full and I wont hardly go in there unless i'm in a bind. There is a petco about 15 min away but that doesn't count either. The closest quality store is about a 2 hour drive from the house. The wife and I will take road trips sometimes just to get out of town and go there.

Absolutely Fish in Clifton NJ about 10 minutes from me and Sea Level Aquarium about 20 mins from me. But I buy almost all coral from Ultimate Corals about 50 miles away.

I have a fish store located in my home town. It's actually a couple blocks away from my house. However I won't go there. The condition of the fish and coral, and the overall cleanliness of the store is just unbearable. So with that being said I drive approximately 60 miles to two fish stores that are located in the same city. Both are well kept, and the fish and coral look healthy and thriving, the stores are always kept clean, and have a healthy amount of business running through them :)

Emperor reef, Buford ga is 4.6 miles away. My kids daycare is 5 miles in the same direction, so we stop by to look at the fish quite often

I used to dismiss the petco 2.2 miles away, until we figured out a way to get me notified of incoming shipments so I could pick them up without the livestock ever hitting their water.

There are 4 within a 10-15 mile radius of each other. I visit them all but prefer SEA LIFE ST PETE over the others just for the customer service they provide

Aquarium Care Center in Ocean, NJ is 27 miles from home but only 6 miles from my office. That's my nearest saltwater store. Aquaridise in East Brunswick is my nearest aquarium store. Both are great, although I do mourn the loss of Tropiquarium.

Cheers,
