Fish Stores in Kingsport area?

[Neowind]

I know of Pet Cove and Sea Oddities, but are there any other Saltwater fish stores in the Tri-Cities? I am starting up a new reef tank again and can't find a 24w Compact Florescent bulb for my Bio-Cube.

I found the LFS thread and found a bunch of ones listed in Johnson City. Anyone know if they are still open? I drove by Pier 13 the other day and its closed. I also when by one that was listed Aquatix and Exotix and it was closed or has moved. Any info would be great.

Yeah...some of the stores in that thread are getting old and have closed. Sorry!

The only other one I could find open was the Aquatix and Exotix. They relocated to Bristol Highway near Fun Expedition. Going to go check it out tomorrow.

Let us know what it's like. I'll put the info in that LFS thread.

The store was awesome. They had a very large selection of coral and fish. They even carried large stingray's to purchase. I was very impressed. They probably had at least 100 corals to choose from. I didn't count but that would be my best guess.

Neowind, aquatix is probly the best in tricities when it comes to coral. They have been very responsive to special requests and they keep new stuff coming all the time.

Interesting!

Yea it reminded me alot of the Coral Reef in Knoxville except with more coral selection. Maybe a bit less on fish selection though.

More coral selection? Nice! How were the prices?

They have recently changed ownership. That's when they started stocking the good stuff. Initially the prices under new ownership were quite high. I think after watching their stuff sit in the tank for months, they have become more reasonable in pricing. And this week they had a very nice shipment of fish. Constantly adding more tanks for new stock.
