Looking for a store in Buffalo, NY

choob99 · Nov 6, 2019

I was at a saltwater store probably 4 or 5 years ago in Buffalo.......They sold live rock that was fresh from the ocean with corals and other growth still on the rock.....I can't remember the name of the store or where it was located, I'm 99% sure it was in Buffalo but it may have been Rochester or somewhere else around the Buffalo area.....If anyone knows the name of the place please let me know, I appreciate the help.

A Reef Creation?
Not sure about live rock you are describing no one really does that anymore except TBsaltwater but A Reef Creation is probably the most popular reef store in Buffalo, at least I think so, I haven't been there in many many years..

I admit whatever store it was may not sell rock like that anymore, it was 4 or 5 years ago, but it was the only store I was ever in that sold it, I'd love to make a trip back to the store if they still sell it

Your probably thinking of Saltwater Paradise in Tonawanda. Joe still carries some ocean rock also other kinds as well. Plus, he’s nice to deal with and has fair prices.
Randy and the guys are awesome at A Reef Creation in Cheektowaga. He has a lot of high end corals and fish. Aquacultured Clownfish of different types, and they are highly knowledgeable.
Mike at Buffalo Coral Reef in Cheektowaga is also great and has some hidden gems all the time.
The other one I would recommend is Mystic Blue Aquarium. Dave has a nice selection and great prices. He also has freshwater if your into that sort of thing as well. He and his father know their stuff.

Hope that tour helps. It leads to a fun relaxing Saturday doing the fishstore crawl..... enjoy, wherever you end up, they are great people and love what they do. (Always makes it more fun when you go to and speak to people who genuinely love what they do)
