Buffalo Trip!

[xmike24]

I will be heading out to Buffalo tomorrow! Which saltwater stores should I stop at? If you could rate them top to bottom what order would you give them?

Second, if there is anyone willing to entertain a new guy please PM me as I would love to meet others, see what you guys have, etc.

Edit:
Through another post, I've come to the conclusion that "Saltwater Paradise and A Reef Creation" are the top 2 shops that are a must see in the buffalo area.
Definitely still interested if there is anyone looking to show off their tanks.

A Reef Creation and Saltwater Paradise are by far the best two shops around, hand's down. There are a couple others, but they're all a cut below those two. A new startup whose name escapes me is right by ARC, hence worth a trip.

Hey Ski, when I just Google mapped A Reef Creation, 2 popped up.
I'm guessing it's the one located at, "4700 Genesee Street #112
Cheektowaga, NY 14225?"

Yes. That's my favorite place around. Awsome stuff there.

Mike the other "new" store is on Genesee St basically right in front of ARC but ARC is back in the business park. The new store is towards the airport from the drive to the business park. ARC is pretty non-descript so just a word of advice, you just open the door next to the garage door on the backside of the building. I kinda wandered around for a minute looking for a proper entrance or a sign then had to ask some guys unpacking a tank in the garage. Should be a GIANT clam as soon as you open the man door.

ARC is the place to be! I think every store is worth stopping by to check things out. The crucial part is buying form a store with clean systems, knowledgeable staff, and healthy looking live stock. Have fun, enjoy your trip!!
