Stafford, VA or close by?

[sm66th]

Any members around Stafford, VA? Just checking...
Any hints on good stores or supply shops close by. Besides petsmart and PETCO, have one lfs (pets plus) within 45 miles that I know of. Or is online ordering the way to go these days...
Closest club I can see is DC or Richmond...I am pretty much right in the middle.

Hmmm...I don't know of any stores nearby (I travel in Virginia a lot).

I live in South Jersey and end up ordering most of my stuff online even though Philly is 10 minutes away and I have a LFS that everyone raves about down the street from me. I get a better guarantee and more quality livestock. I also try to go to frag swaps when possible (I have made a 2 hour drive to do so).

I'm in Stafford. There aren't any local stores unfortunately. The closest good stores are about an hour from us (Atlantis in Richmond, Romping stomping pets in King george, Aquatic Obsession in Manassas). I'm part of the DC and richmond clubs. Drop me a line if you want to chat.

Cool. I haven't been to those stores yet, but good to know something within driving distance. Still new tank, but once I have it worthy of some corals and show pieces would like to check out club events. Nuthin much I can bring to the table right now.

I'm in the valley but go to Richmond fairly often. I asked the Richmond Reefers for a recommendation on a store there and got a very mixxed bag so decided just to order online. About the best response was something like, "if you don't mind overpaying and getting little help than xxx is good." Haha, not exactly highly recommended. But others did say they really like some of the stores or certain people at certain stores. Wish there was a really quality fish store within an hour or two from here.
