Hello everybody, My name is Oscar and I live in Spain. I have a 450 liters aquarium and I love corals. In coming dates I am going to travel to the United States on business. The thing is that I would like to visit coral and fish stores in my spare time and enjoy the wonderful corals you have in the United States. I am going to stay in Tampa (Florida). It would be great if anyone of you could tell me about stores in this place. If forum´s rules do not allow to give this kind of information in the thread, please send me a private mail. Thank you very much in advance for your soon reply and help.
 
Fish and Other Ichthy Things in Oldsmar is one of the best stores I've ever been to. Wonderful place. It's just a few minutes west of tampa on Hillsborough ave, past the airport about 10 miles.

There is another store on Hillsborough on the way to Ichthy things, but I cannot remember the name.... it's not too bad either. They were upgrading their tanks as I was moving away from Florida, so I think they're even better then they were. Someone will know what the name is....
 
I am not planning to buy any animals. I will buy dry goods and I don´t think I will have any problem to carry them with me back to Spain. Thank you for your help.
 
I'm headed back to Tampa over the Thanksgiving holidays to see the folks. It's been a while since I've visited some stores but here's the ones I know of. Not sure if all are still open.

Beauties of the Sea - I believe it was off Waters west of Dale Mabry. May not still be open.

Creative Oceans? or something like that. Dale Mabry south of I-275 on the East side.

Tampa Bay Saltwater used to be open to public but I hear they are not anymore. It was off Waters also.
 
you may want to look up the local reef club or marine society in that area. they usually have a list of local fish stores in thier area..you should be able to get phone #'s and addresses from there..good luck.....jaime
 
Fish and other Icthy things is a must see if you are in the Tampa area. It is actually in Oldsmar right outside of Tampa.Hereisalinkto their website:

Fish and Other Icthy Things

Marine Wharehouse is also decent and near Fish and Other Icthy Things but I don't know their website. Good luck and have fun!
 
Oscar Spain,
FAOIS, Fish and other Ictchy Stuff is probably the best in Tampa. Also, Finz of Tampa(S.Tampa), Coral Reef Aquariums(Waters/ Armenia), Marine Warehouse(W.Hillsborough), just to name a few. Also some others I won't mention. For dry goods though, I would say FAOIS, or Marine Warehouse. While in Tampa, you have to go to the FL Aqaurium, great time.... Just my 2 cents....lol...
 
Also,
Like blackwell0488 said, Go to Local Forums, and visit Tampa Bay Reef Club, it is a great local forum that is very active with alot of cool people....lol.....
 
plyle02, thank you for the information and sorry for not having replied to you before. I have had some problems with my computer. Tomorrow I depart to the USA. I will try to visit as many as possible. Thanks to all of you once again.
