Good LPS in Washington DC/Northern Virginia area

[spider crab]

I was wondering if anyone knew of any good LPSs in the Washington DC, Northern Virginia area. I'm traveling to Herndon VA next week and thought I take a look around at some of the saltwater stores. I'm looking for LPS that stock fish and corals.

Thanks Moga! That should keep me busy while I'm up there. Most of those are close to where I'll be.
That Roozen Nursury sounds interesting. They open to the public? Where are they located? It looks like a Maryland area code.

Theres a great one in Herndon called the Marine scene. Check out the Yahoo yellow pages for the # and address. If its the only one you see while your here your going to leave happy.

definitely check out marine scene in herndon, right off fairfax county parkway and dulles tollroad. best salt store in the area. you can skip roozen's. they have a ton of stuff but i compare the quality to that of *****. lots of ich from super overcrowding of fish. they should stick to trees and shrubs. if you dont mind the drive up to baltimore i recommend the aquarium center in randallstown. probably an hour's drive from NOVA. very good deals on dry goods and lots of decent fish

all of my fish are from roozen..i keep them for at least a year..no problem at all..

Roozen in ft washington is a good place. Funny thing though is that you wouldnt know it was a saltwater fish store by riding by.. they had the cheapest LR $5 a pound. Bigger selection IMO.

Roozen's is a death camp
