Where IYO is best in Albuquerque to buy 120g aquarium?

[wintercool97]

Hi guys. Greetings from Farmington. I am planning out my new 120 gallon adventure and would like some input on good stores to visit in Alb. I would also be looking to maybe buy lights and sump at the same place too. There is just one place around here to get marine equipment, so I wanted to check out some other places too. I wouldn't mind a little vacation to go shopping

Thanks so much!

You will definitely enjoy seeing the stores here in ABQ. We are fortunate they have all recently opened for our business!

Note that two of the stores are within a mile of each other. Southwest Reef and Coral Island are on different E-W streets, but both very near I-40. Emperor's Ocean and even Clark's Pet Emporium should not be forgoten...just hit the other two together during your visit.

NMOK does have meetings monthly on Friday nights. If interested, you might consider coming down to ABQ on one of those evenings and meet some NM reefers....NMOK has been the best source of info, advice, and corals for me since start-up.

greg, wow I guess they opened just in time for me! ;P I will put the other 2 on my list for sure.

I have to plan any trips around my dh strange days off so I doubt that I will be able to make it on a Friday but thanks for the invite
