Fort Lauderdale reef shops

[Janci]

I am travelling to Fort Lauderdale this week and was wondering of there are any reef shop worth to visit?
Unfortunately I will not have to time to go to Orlando so local Fort Lauderdale it will have to be.

Happy to hear your suggestions

Aquarium Show, brand new store really nice.

Blue Seas Aquarium, Great prices for corals and the size that you pay for what you get is great.

Exotic Aquatic, large selection but... the owners are kinda rude.

Thanks
Blue Sea Aquarium I found on the internet already, but Aquarium Show does not have any link.
Would they have a web page?

Besides corals, I wanted to buy a Milwaukee digital refractometer. Any idea where to find that?

I would try either of those 2. They are right down the street from one another

what's the issue?

I've been there a few times, mostly for fish they QT them in separate systems.

they also have a deal where you earn points for free water tests, frags, etc. I've gotten a few $15 frags this way.

their stock changes frequently.

the staff and owners are friendly and knowledgeable and willing to discuss just about anything with a customer, they also don't seem to push any specific idea/belief.

Well mostly right their quality is kinda low. The price you pay for most of their stuff is sad looking

Are you sure you’re thinking of the right place?

I’ve been to hydra numerous times and have been extremely happy every time. They’re pricing to me is pretty on point and quite fair. Plus with some pieces there is room for negotiation. I have yet to have any losses from them however that’s just my experience It may be different for others.
