Help Needed - Finding LFS

[GregDoug]

I am fairly new to the area and have visited just about all the LFS in Tampa and Orlando areas (an everywhere in between). There is one particular store that I want to go back too but can not remember where it is or the name of it. I know it is from a highway, down a main road and found on the left side in a shopping plaza with a resturant on the right hand side of the store as you face it. I remember when I tried to find it originally, it had me turn down a street with a 711 on the corner but the address I had was wrong and actually you just drive further down the main street. I know as you walk into the store, the dry goods and tanks are stacked up front and the counter is off to the right side. As you walk back, the tanks are in the back. I remember the (possible owner) was a very helpful man, of asian type decent. He had (and may still) nigripes clowns, which I had gotten a pair of. Several months ago, he had a pair in a small display tank too. Does anyone know the name or address of this store? PS, it could be in Orlando but I am pretty sure it was Tampa area.

"There is one particular store that I want to go back too " I mean there is one store that I can not find to go back, there are many other nice stores that I still go too, I just know where those are

Could that possibly be Coral reef Aquariums off Waters Ave? That's the only LFS I can think of with an Asian owner and there is a 7-11 on the opposite side of the street. The last time I was in the counter was on the left though. Do you remember if there is a blockbuster vidoe in the plaza?

I thought it could have been Coral reef Aquariums because the street name could have been armenia but I was there last week and it was not the particular store I was thinking of. Your right though, the owner and his daughter was there and he too was of asian decent. I remember it being in a plaza and as you face the plaza, he was the second to last store on the right of the plaza, with a resturant being the last (which I dont remember its name either)
