there are lots of great saltwater stores opening upstate . capital district of NY has some very knowledgable stores/ staff. its a booming time up here as everyone is seeing the hobby more and more and getting interested. the city has lots of stores some badly managed and others a true great secret. most of the time you have to know where to look or youll never find them. you can find some real deals when your willing to walk alot and spend time on subway shopping around.

Hey Lekic & all...
I used to go to Columbia U and also lived out in Queens for a while. While there I wasn't into reef tanks yet, but I was thinking, why not join one of your local reefing clubs in that area and check out their forums, they could probably suggest good stores to go to!
Here's a manhattan reef club:

And here's LIRA's website for the long islander's:

I hear good things about them. I used to go to a great saltwater store up by bayside, but I know even that can be a hike for Manhattanites that take the subway, plus I can't remember the name.

i have taken the subway twice a day everday for the last 9 years and have explored every area of manhattan and most of brooklyn and queens. There are really two main lfs in the city, fishtown usa and new world aquarium. Now there are other stores such as around mott street in china town that are hit and miss, and if you dont quarintine then dont bother. There are two other petco type stores on on 14th and another uptown that also sell saltwater but i dont think anyone on reefcentral would shop there. The place i mentioned in the threads title usually just sells fish to the tanks they service, but have a very impressive selection (NYC standards, probably nothing compared to house of fins).
ReefD, can you tell me some of the spots you are talking about. Then maybe i could stop searchings. Also, I go to school in Saratoga Springs, 40 miles away from albany. Can you suggest some stores that i could get to without a car, basically a cab ride from a train ride.
