Anyone have any suggestions on interesting reef related stops I should make during my visit, or any other must see areas or events? I will be in from march3 to march 11.

SF is a long way from T-town, I made the journey several years ago myself never to return. If Tallahassee is anything like it used to be, you could probably hit any local store here and be overwhelmed with the selection. This area is pretty spread out so if you can be more specific you will prpbably get lots of suggestions.

I will have to talk to my friend and see where he lives, since i will be staying with him. I will let you know. Thanks thus far for the advice.

i will be staying between the presidio and golden gate park.

YOu'll have a bunch to see...

There Fish FIsh and more fish
there another one in Duboce
Taraval st.
a couple more in the avenue's... most of these stores are in SF

1 in San Mateo- Ulitmate Aquarium

Just don't bother with 6th ave. I( fish ) corals are decent . Unless you really know what your doing.

people help me out name some of these stores... Across the bay has a bunch of nice stores as well...

I second the suggestion for the drive to Monterey for the aquarium. Its the best in North America!

Please do not waste your time at Monterey. Wait until the SF one open or go to the Long Beach Aquarium.

Monterey Aquarium owns. SF aquarium sucks and is filthy and boring. Monterey has much more exibits and things to see =)

Eeks, that link has some mighty old stores in it. Daltons store has been closed for what, 3 years now?

Here's a bit larger picture of the Bay Area.
