All the way down under, Brisbane Qld Australia!

The amount of product and live stock they carry on a postage stamp size shop amazes me every time I go and visit...

I wish I could join in. I am close to Colorado springs and pueblo... there is not a single shop that deserves a shout out

Shout out to nemos reef in Matthews NC (suburb of charlotte) awesome selection of all corals especially aussie acropora when they are in season. Very knowledgeable staff, and the best prices around. I pass 3 other reef stores on my way to nemos!

I will give a shoutout to Southwest Reef Company in Albuquerque. They practice good quarantine procedures and always give great advice.

Shout out to J&L Aquatics in BC, Canada! Im fortunate to have them as my LFS! Super friendly and knowledgeable staff. And last time I was in I saw they have a growth chart posted for a hippo tang that shows how quick they can grow and how big they are when fully grown.. so impressed!

Shoutout to Greenwich Aquaria in the southwest corner of Connecticut!

They're not huge, but they've always got something cool on tap, their prices are pretty good considering the neighborhood they're in (and they run a few sweet weekend sales each year!), and their staff is - literally - world-class.

Also a fan of Shoreline, but that's a pretty long drive for me, as well as NY Aquatic. Longer drive than Greenwich, but sometimes very worthwhile for a special trip, and his fish are always healthy IME.

~Bruce, who would _much_ rather see it swim and eat than purchase based on a photo, no matter how well-lit.

Everyone in the Midwest knows, the number one reef store is Aqua Pros!

Shout out to Discount Aquarium in Tempe, Arizona.

Long known as the place to get great deals and good-condition used equipment!

Great advice, very fair pricing on fish, corals, live rock and a willingness to search for anything you ask!

I love Shoreline Pet and Aquarium in Old Saybrook, CT. The owner is great, very knowledgable and always takes the time to help/answer questions/provide advice. Great coral selection as well as fish selection too. AND there's a parrot named Jade who is just so much fun to visit.

Reef Oasis in Cleveland for being so amazing-theyre definitely more than just a store!
Also not so local or a technical LFS lol but I love visiting Cherry Corals-their place is always so clean.

Hard to pick between these 2 but shout ot to @WWC and REEFERS DIRECT but if you want WWC fire talk them into letting you in the farm and I bet you'll wish you brought more money

 

[Squirrel_reefer]

dang! wish I had some pictures!!!

Shout Out to HighTide Aquarium in Tallahassee FL, best LFS in the Panhandle area, I like that he has frag tanks and fish only tanks but a lot of the livestock he sells lives in actual reef tanks like you would see at home.

The Reef Rack in Overland Park KS is awesome and always has top notch show pieces as well as a wide variety of frags. Here's just one example of a crazy lobo they had last time I was in there.

If I'm not mistaken they even sell online and ship nationwide. Matt the owner is also one of the nicest and most genuine people I've ever met, he seems to remember everyone's name and always makes you feel welcome without crossing that line into hovering over you uncomfortably. (Bonus is that the shop is less than 10 minutes from home)
