[Surferlopez]

[Brazengrrl]

FAOIS, very nice store

 

[Pterodactyl]

Check out Finz.
It is on Dale Mabry on the left, south of 275.
Very friendly there and are willing to give a discount to ORCA members.

 

[hexedagain]

So did you get anything good in Tampa?

 

[chrismhaase]

I live here, I would go to FAIOS and Marine Warehouse. I do not recommend Finz, they are overpriced and the store was a mess last month when I was in there. I however havent checked out Exotic Aquatics, but have heard good things. Life Oceanic has Walt Smith Fiji for 2.50 lb. and some nice Bali for i think 8 a lb

That's what I was thinking.

Ok I went to Itchy Things this weekend while I was over in the tampa area. HOLY COW thats a nice store. And they have everything. They have a huge area for corals, live rock and fish. They had everything. I really dont know much about corals but I thought it was hard to get ricordias over here, they had a half of tank decated to them. I didnt know if it was pricy though, they wanted 20 bucks a head. Is that high or avg. priced.

I couldnt buy anything cause I was there for the whole weekend and I didnt have anything to store the corals in. So that sucked, but if someone wants to car pool down there, im down with a day trip to Tampa. Maybe we can go down there on a sat. and catch there Reef Meating. That would be kewl. Anyone interested?

 

[jay24k]

depends on the type. Your florida rics I wouldn't pay 20 a head. Generally they go from 10 to 15 tops. Now your Yumas are a different story depending on color

 

[Mr Neutron]

Orange rics still command $15-20 a head, retail.
