Best LFS in Area

[alpha0r]

Hello, I will be visiting my parents in Lakeland, FL and I would like to know what are the best LFS to visit during my trip. Thanks so much.

We encourage people to not compare stores since Orlando has quite a variety and you usually can find something different and great at each one so check out our list of stores

There really is no decent stores in the Lakeland area. You have to drive to Orlando or Tampa/Oldsmar to find any decent ones.

Agreed. Both cities have GREAT stores.

AlphaOr when are going to be in Lakeland?

I hear you saying there are many good stores in Tampa and Orlando but what are their names? I can probably only go to 1 or 2 so I don't want to waste my time.

I'll be in Lakeland from the 22-28th.

If you decide to go to Tampa - Fish & Other Ichthy Things

I'd say in the first 20 posts of this page you could probably find several recommendations to get a good idea..

WWC would be the closest store with the biggest variety of corals.......but if you don't mind traveling a bit further north, there are some other pretty nice stores as well!

world wide corals is my favorite store for corals and inverts.....Ocean blue is my favorite for dry goods and equipment.....Ocean direct is my favorite for live rock

it kinda depends on what you are into.....each store seems to have their niche

Thanks for the breakdown. Each store has it strengths and weaknesses and thanks for pointing them out.
