Aquarium Fantasies in Homewood is the only store in Bham worth going to. I just moved back to Bham after being gone a couple years, and this store is what the area was lacking. AI is overpriced, run down, and has consistently gone down hill since the death of the owner's mother (the original owner) 10 years ago. I lived in Montgomery several years ago, and that store is very nice. If you do go to the one in Homewood, take cash. They do accept CC, but have to call the store in Montgomery and give your info over the phone. If they are very busy down there, it can take a while. Apparently the owner doesn't trust the employees with a cc machine (you can get them for the iPhone for free) but does trust them with $1000s of dollars in livestock. The SPS is extremely nice, and the fish are quite healthy. I'm in the process of moving tanks, but when I do get the new one set up, AF will be the go to point for my fish and sps frags.
