you only need to go 2 places down there ,,, Reef systems and Phishy business ,,, buy far two of the best reef stores in Ohio

Agreed. Go to phishy business and reef systems they are in the same general area but on the opposite side of Columbus than Hilliard. Bring a big cooler with you! You'll need it.

Thanks. So the two stores or on the east side? I will look them up and bring a cooler.

Those two are the best around hands down. Also, if you are looking for frags, may want to give Zeppelin a shout to se if he will be around.

Phishy will be the first stop on Saturday.

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I am also going down there this weekend for a wedding. The wedding reception is at 6:30, I am planning on staying there till about 10-11 then heading back home. What is the best way to keep stuff alive if I am going to purchase anything from the fish stores down there? Any advice guys? I am bringing a cooler but don't know what else to bring as the stuff I might buy would be sitting in my car for at least 4-6 hours, thats not counting the time it takes for me to get home.

If you are really worried about the heat you could bring a cooler pack (ice substitute thingy) and place it in the cooler but far away from the livestock to keep the inside a little cooler for a few hours. I would not worry too much personally. Just use a good styrofoam cooler and it will keep things pretty stable for hours. They also reflect most of the light and heat that are hitting them since they are bright white.

I have an old Omaha Steaks cooler that keeps things just right. I have left fish/corals in my car during the frag swaps and then a long ride home without issues.
