Visiting area...LFS info needed

[Ladipyg]

Hello fellow reefers,
I will be visiting the area, Dunedin, for a couple of weeks starting Monday the 15th. Anyone local have suggestions for LFS stores I can visit? I know about the one in Clearwater on 580 just west of US 19..any other suggestions? I always drive down with a large cooler, buy what I want, put it on hold and the last day just make the rounds picking stuff up. It gets a much better ride in my Excursion back to Chicago...I've never had a problem.

I will be posting some pics of pieces/frags tonight that I have available to bring down with me if anyone is interested in buying or trading? Favia, acan, zoas, etc.

Thanks for any info you can give me....Nina

Hello Nina and welcome to Florida! The cleanness and nicest place that I've been to would be Fish and Other Ichthy Things that is located in Oldsmar. It's very easy to get to from Dunedin. John the owner is very nice and he runs a very clean and well stocked store. Here's their address:

105 Fairfield St
Oldsmar, FL 34677
(813) 891-4291

Fish and Other Ichthy stuff is my favorite, finz is another good one.

What about PetMart? I live near the one on Bay Pines and I see signs that they sell saltwater but have not had a chance to stop in.

Please - lets not go there and leave it at that.

ladipyg, how about some pics of the zoa frags you might bring,or a list?

Fish and Other for the healthiest fish and some of the nicest corals.
For nice corals and fish at some of the best prices you cant beat Marine Warehouse. It's just a few miles East of Icthy Things.

Perfect thread.

Perfect thread.

Kind of funny actually that this thread came up because I will be visiting Tampa also on a short business trip and I was going to run out and see my old friend Chris Jessen's new store Aquarium Architecture but I would love to see a few more places and maybe even bring home a colony or two.

Also are there any local hobbiest with really impressive setups that I might try to contact?

Thanks for any help,

Joe
