Looking for LFS's that aren't so L

[Mizzuffinmizzan]

Hi, I live in the Duncansville area near Altoona Pa and I'm looking for some LFS's just outside the area. I used google but not every one is always listed and I don't want to miss any of them. I just set up a new tank recently, it has cycled, and I'm gonna need stuff to put in it. Thanks

Knockout Aquatics

Ultra Corals

Something Fishy

Those stores are all near Allentown. You should also be aware that RCS (formerly NCPARS) has a frag swap coming up soon. If you go to the bottom of the forum and adjust the display options to go back a little further, you will be able to find the date. It is usually at That Pet Place, but they are doing some construction and it will be held at another location this time.

Ricky Fins Aquatics is right there in Duncansville. The owner is very nice.
I'm thinking your other options would be towards Pittsburgh since you are in the western half of the state, but I'm not familiar with what's out there. And there's That Fish Place in Lancaster.

If you search this forum he has taken multiple member's money and never provided livestock or refunds, and has been kicked off other websites as a sponsor for also stealing from members of those forums.

I was unaware of the past issues. I only stopped by the store, got friendly service and a nice fish.
That's unfortunate because that's the closest store to me, even if it is 75 minutes away.

Thanks for the heads up everyone. I'm well, well, well aware of the lfs's in my area, that's why I'm willing to travel.

Looks like Elmer's Aquarium should be roughly 90 minutes from you if you haven't been there before. And this time, I searched from them on reefcentral before saying anything.

Awesome, thanks CzarQwerty. I've been to Elmer's before. That's where I got my 48" Aquatic Life with t5's and halides for $150 at one of their monthly basement sales. They have a lot of cool stuff cheap when they have those sales. I'll have to check out those other places as well. Thanks again.
