LFS Props!!
I thought it would be good to start a thread about good LFS's. Since I am from the Houston, TX area (SW side) I am going to recommend
T&T Fish and Reptile 6862 Highway 6 (@ Bellaire Blvd) Phone: 281-933-3367 Houston, TX Website: www.ttfishreptile.com This place has been very good to me for years. They have a lot of knowledge and they have absolutely amazing display tanks in the store. Just reply with your favorite LFS and maybe another member that lives in the same area as you will visit that store and give them business. A lot of folks do online shopping, but I just felt that it would be good to give our favorite LFS's some props. Thanks

Re: LFS Props!!
I am in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia and I would have to say Reef Chief is the best in this area. There are some other good ones but Reef Chief runs circles around most.

Re: LFS Props!!
Aquatic Critters in Nashville is hands down the best place here.The only thing I wish is that the doctors and lawyers that visit the store woundn't snatch up all the good stuff(acans,micros,blastos)before everyone else gets a chance.....leaving the brown mushrooms for the rest of us commoners.

Iraq Vet.
Have you shopped at fish r us houston. It is north of houston just a little bit. Whenever we are down there visiting friends we always stop by and take some stuff home. The always pack everything up for us like they would ship because it is about an 8hr drive for us. They have good selection of frags also. http://www.fishrushouston.com/ Current Aquarium(s) Description: 165g Reef, 50g sump w/fuge, Metal halides. 75g Planted Freshwter.

Re: LFS Props!!
Hoopsdaddy.....I have not been there yet. I actually have never heard of that store. I live about 30 miles south to southwest of Houston (plenty of Hurricane Ike damage for me too). I mainly get my stuff through www.Liveaquaria.com . I bought 2 five gallon buckets of instant ocean salt mix for less than the cost of one bucket at Petco and that included shipping cost.
As far as the hurricane....my tanks faired well....I lost my blue-throat trigger fish due to it though.
