Reef stores in Birmingham

Jmonks · Jul 11, 2017

going to be in town this weekend, any stores worth visiting ?

Aquarium Imports and Reef Life are the only non big box stores in the area. Both leave a lot to be desired. If you're from the Tampa area then you're going to be disappointed, lol.

Thanks for the info, is reef life aquariums any good?

What's your main shop in Tampa? Reef Life reminds me of the LFS in Brandon (can't remember the name) as it's pretty small but has a decent selection. If you're driving up here I would suggest stopping by Atlantis Aquariums in Montgomery.

Main shop in Tampa was Creative Aquariums. I need to update my signature I actually live in Jackson Mississippi now. We were just driving over for the weekend. I will check it out if I ever head that way.

I think know the store you are talking about but never went in there. Cant think of the name either

Lived in AL for two years. I would always drive back home to Atlanta for anything I didn't get online and for frags, etc from ARC. B'ham is pretty bad in terms of sw stores.

I hate to say it, but the best frags and corals for sale or trade in Birmingham area are in other members tanks, there are several stores that sell salt water , but just because you have four tanks, with dying frags and a yellow tang with a good case of ich, really doesn't qualify as a good salt water store, just my opinion. There are several members here that have really good frags, at good prices, and most like to trade.
