Hello All...
I'm traveling on business to Houston in a week, can anyone point at local coral LFS.
Thx!

Fish Gallery - Impressive facility, but more geared toward corporate setups and maintenance

City Pets - Large family run store. Best prices in town on dry goods. Have a decent supply of fish and corals (depending on when they get shipments, they see allot of traffic every week)

All About Fish - Smaller store, very clean with the best corals in town. Little more expensive

All are good in their own way. Usually if I'm looking for fish or dry goods I go to city pets. If wanting corals, I check out All About Fish. Unfortunately they are all spread out. City Pets is on the west side of town on the belt way, Fish Gallery is in downtown in the wealthy part of town by the Galleria, and All about fish is off of 45 and the belt way on the west side of town.

Sorry couldn't find a address from CityPets or All About Fish as they not in the sponsor forum.

Houston will also have a new store soon and it will be state of the art.
They're a few weeks shy from being open but you can drop by anytime as the owner is there everyday.

Or give me a ring and see the Diesel Tank.

I'll second FJW Aquarium. Dennis there has the best equipment and corals I have see in Houston.

Forgot about T&T and thanks for the heads up on the new store. Looks like it is going to be nice!

How was your trip, did you like any of the stores?

Had a great time and the folks at City Pets are very pleasant and welcoming, if you are in the area stop by and say Hello, I guarantee you will not be disappointed with the selection. I picked up a few things I needed for the room and had some corals shipped back. Thanks everyone!
Drive over to airport...
