Store advice needed

[Jeff]

I have the day off tomarrow and plan on taking my daughter along with a friend and spend some money. We are looking for softies. Anybody seen some nice ricordea, zoas, paly, etc frags around town lately. I called Reef Depot but Mark said his stock is really low.
Any advice is welcome.

Get a ton of dough and go to LSA with their huge sale and new "coral/frag" tank GL and watch your bank account

 

[Jeff]

I think that we are all set on high priced brown corals Thanks though Wiz.

Last I was there Ocean Design had a pretty good supply. That was a couple weeks ago.

 

[Jeff]

I was in there today Joel. The corals looked pretty good but I am not willing to spend their prices on the frags. I almost bought a clam though.

If you go out to Schaumburg Advanced Aquatics had a bunch of zoas and other softies. Beyond the Reef had a few too.

 

[Jeff]

Thanks flapjack. I hate to sound so picky but its hard to find good frags in the city for a decent price. We will venture out and have a look out in the burbs.

Actually jeff you should check it out. I was surprised myself when I saw the new setup plus the colors but this time they have decent prices

What about sea shor...I hear they just got some get things in.

 

[Jeff]

Sea Shor is a possibility. I always get good deals there.

not meaning to hijack but did you say you are on eng. 26?

 

[Jeff]

I used to get detailed there when I was in the first district. I am on Trk 58 now.

Update:
We just got back from Advanced Aquatics and Beyond the Reef. Myself, Wolf pup (Jon) and my daughter Kristen actually ventured west of Harlem avenue. Advanced Aquatics was a candy store for us since we were looking for low priced frags. The selection was great and Glen was extremely helpful but we really had to take our time to find the gems. Beyond the Reef had nice fish but not so great corals. The prices were kind of on the higher end of average which was suprising since it is so close to AA.
We are planning another wallet-draining adventure to Sho Tank soon.

I must have seen you mention it on here recently. I see CFD all day everyday and never really paid attention. But lately I seem to notice Eng. 26 all the time. I was trying to think who was talking about it and thought it had to be you.

 

[MBasile]

My dad and jeff used to be on the same rig. Maybe we were talking about it....

Hey jeff, theres lots of softies and lps and frags like that in my tank plus you can talk fire with the old man. win win!

 

[JPSKI25]

Thats gotta be where I saw it. Its funny how you might not be paying attention but the subliminal mind remembers all.

Reef Depot has an awesome softie tank without the LFS price.

[Pufferpunk]

Yeah Jeff, when ya going to RD?

 

[Jeff]

Not sure. I was going to drag Wolf Pup there but when I called, I was told that the stock was way low so we held off and headed to Schaumburg.
Maybe in a couple weeks.
