Approx. how far are these places from Venice? Approx. drive time?

 

[stymee69]

underseas is no longer!!!!!! hit coral connection they are on clark rd.

 

[lostl13]

from venice to coral connection is anywhere between 5 to 15 miles...

what happened to underseas?

 

[stymee69]

they moved not sure if they are set back up yet or not...

 

[Jacwil]

Dang coral conn closed...any others opened today?

 

[stang02]

none that are worth it ... FAOIS is phenominal but they are in Oldsmar south Tampa worth a trip though... very knowledgeable and lots of corals

 

[a2fire2i]

I really wouldnt care what Jamie thinks, just my .02

 

[stymee69]

cfmx you have a good point I dont realy care either lol but none the less they are not scoring any points for originality...

So went by Coral Conn on Clark today and was a touch disappointed. Any others? Also rt around the corner from CC was SeaClear Aq. Any other LFS's in the area? We are staying in Siesta Key 'til Saturday and I figure I have one last shot to chk one out but don't really want to drive more than 45 mins or so. I am quite surprised that back home in Upstate NY, there are 4+ LFS's that have a huge selection of corals/fish but here in Fl not so much...baffles me!!

 

[stymee69]

well jacwil unfortunatly thats it ...

 

[Jacwil]

wow...well stymee thx for the replies.

 

[stymee69]
