Florida shops to visit?

[Craig 63]

Hi all. I will be in Florida for a few weeks very soon :dance::dance: and was wondering if you guys can advise me of shops that are worth a visit to drool over?
Obviously will not be able to buy any livestock but am planning on buying some dry goods.

I will be travelling round a bit so any area is fine. In particular I will be going to Miami Tampa Naples and anywhere in between basically. Please post on here any and all suggestions.

Thanks Craig.

Your best bet would be check one of the local club forums. I will move this thread to one of them.

Thanks again Craig.

If you are passing through Stuart. These guys are honest, cheap and have a Marine Biologist full time. Good people, but not so much dry goods stock. Otherwise thats about it for Stuart. Miami has a ton of shops, but 2 hour ride for me.

For Miami area best bet is the ones on bird road (SW 40th St). You have 4 LFS on same street within a mile of each other. Ocean View, ReefBox, Exotic Aquariums, Strictly Fish. These are right off the highway so it's a quick stop.

Hi Sanan922. That is the ONLY day I cannot be there due to my son being booked in to swim with the Dolphins :sad2: Sod's law, it would have been great to come have a look.

Thanks Craig.

If you start at ocean view and work west it will save you a bunch of uturns. That being said i think strictly fish and exotic aquariums both have alot more in the way of dry goods than the other two.

Well swimming with the dolphins will be a great experience for your son. Hope your family has a great vacation. Be careful with the wacky weather we've been having down here lately, check the weather reports before heading out in the morning.
