Socal traveler looking for 1 day LFS suggestions

[m0nkie]

Hello folks! I'm visiting Miami in March, spending a few days diving and snorkeling in Key West. I want to visit some LFS in Miami, wondering what are some good shops to visit?

I'll be staying near Miami international airport.

Looking for higher end SPS / Anemones.

thanks

Strictly Fish
Exotic Aquariums
Ocean View Aquarium
Reef Box
These 4 stores are on the same street, all within 2 miles of each other.

Further South
Aquarium Kingdom

Strictly Fish will probably be the only one with nicer acros. Second, would be AK, not really frags there, but probably around 50 nice mini colonies of acros.

Good Luck...

If you can't visit all of them, this would be the stores I would recommend by priority.
1. Strictly Fish
2 Aquarium Kingdom
3 Ocean View
4 Exotic Aquariums

There is a new store in west kendall, somewhere around 160 St and SW 137 Ave... I heard it's nice but I haven't been there yet.

If you plan on buying stuff, I would bring a styrofoam box to ship stuff back. Better yet, bring styrofoam pieces that fit in a box. You can flatten the box and put in your luggage.
If you do this don't forget tape to seal the box, markers or anything else you might need. It will keep you from running around looking for supplies. You could also make it easy and take it to a FedEx or UPS place and have them pack and ship it. Don't forget you will have to check the box and can't take it thru TSA. Hope you find some good stuff.

Fedex right by MIA.
