San Diego county has like a dozen stores. I go to the the most frequently. Aquatic Warehouse, & AquaSD are the closest at about 15, and 16 miles and about midway between home and work which makes it easy. Also Pet Kingdom that I visit often. It is a little out of my way but only 5 miles from my work.

New to the area so we are still trying to find all the stores...

BioReef and Coral Logic are the ones we have been to and they are both about an hour south of where we live. Well worth the drive though :)

Always open to suggestions in the Jacksonville, Fl area (or north of there)

I have one that's <10 minutes away, but has pretty limited stock. Fortunately I can pick up my Liveaquaria / Divers Den orders in person, which is under an hour away.

The closest store I go to is Barrier Reef Aquariums in Renton Washington which is 56 miles each way.
Add in one of the most congested traffic freeways, just driving is a 3 hour round trip.

Closest is Aquatic Marine, small but I love them. 18 miles away or 30 minutes. Then Aquarium Connection is about 40 minutes away, big store, good quality stock.

I love Aquatic Art Inc. (20 miles) I have other lfs closer to where I live but this is my go to store. On Google reviews it has a 5.0 rating and they deserve that.
