I use Pet Experience in Bethpage. Prices are decent. I bought my whole setup from them. Havent checked any other place out yet. If you go there ask for Jason. He's usually there from 5pm-close.

i just got back from fish town usa with about 15 lbs of live fiji rock at $3.99 a lb. i thought that was a great price as opposed to country critters 8.99 a lb and aqua huts 7.99 a lb. anybody else now of anywhere to get live rock for cheap? i live in mastic beach, and fish town usa is really far to go just for some rock. since i was there today i should of got more rock like 30lbs, im soo mad now.

Just got back from Fishtown USA and $600 later i got a MTC protein skimmer with all the plumbing done($350), tap water filter($54), 50lbs of tonga rock($3.99 a lb "semi-cured"), blue background for the tank. Dealt with Noel. Very knowledgable and nice. Ill try and find the name of that place in Syosset for you. Found it.... Mega Pets in Syosset. Corner of Woodbury rd and S. Oyster Bay Rd.

Ive never been there only heard they have nice stuff. I also checked another place out. Its PETS on Jericho Tpke in New Hyde Park. They had a huge selection of fish and a nice selection of corals. I found the prices to be kinda high though. They wanted $11.99 a pound for tonga branch and $8.99 for Fiji rock. The place is big and you cant miss it. Its about 1/4 mile west of new hyde park road on your right. good luck.
