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

This was tough to answer as there is a pet store in town that concentrates on freshwater, but the guy does a tank of saltwater. I don't consider it a saltwater store at all.

I had a very good one 1.5 miles from my house, but they just closed last Saturday. Shoreline Pet and Aquarium in Old Saybrook. Sucks.


Yep I also enjoyed shore line shame to see it go out of business, bought a lot of fish from my tank from there.

I'm fortunate to have TSM Corals (R2R sponsor) about 15 minutes away from where I live now. Previously, I lived in the Jersey Shore area and had Tropiquarium (RIP) nearby and Fish Tails (way back when - RIP) around the corner.

Well I consider myself very fortunate to be living in the beautiful city of Orlando, FL. Just went to Reefapalooza last month for the first time ever and it was amazing. As far as saltwater fish stores, here is my list
1- The closest store to me is World Wide Corals about 20 min away.
2- If I drive a little further (30 min) I can go to Reefers in St. Cloud
3- I also have Living Reef in Waterford Lakes which is amazing. Also 30 min away.
4- Last but definitely not least is Top Shelf Aquatics in Winter Park, FL.
These 4 stores in my opinion are some of the best around.

I'm 12 miles from Old Orchard Aquarium in Skokie, Illinois, but my preference is Insane Corals (Tank it Easy) in Chicago, 22 miles away from home...
