lfs near harrisburg????

[gharner]

just wondering if anyone knows of any decent lfs near harrisburg pa that sells saltwater fish other than "that pet place". isnt there something nearby called like the hidden reef or something???? ppl near harrisburg....where do u shop for your saltwater fish and supplies???

I usually make the trip to That Fish Place, but there's a place in Mechanicsburg that's called Treasures From the Sea. The supplies cost a fair bit more than TFP and I don't know how their coral stock is anymore, it was getting rather limited last summer (new owner doesn't know a whole lot), but they're all saltwater.

Oh, and all the really knowledgeable people were let go when the new owner came in.... so you won't get much in the way of info, if you need it.

hmmm, mechanicsburg huh.....i may need to check it out. have you ever heard of "The Hidden Reef"??? aparently its near h-burg.
(i also usually make the trip to that fish place. its only about 20-25 minutes from where i live if i drive fast enough haha. im trying to find somethin new to supplement tfp)

 

[m0nk]

Nope, never heard of it, but when I did a google search I came across a place in Levittown....that's out near Philly.

Agree with m0nk, not a good selection of stores in our area, there is a nice place in Allentown, can't say the name, they do online stuff too. The Hidden Reef sounds familiar, don't know where it is though.

That's because it's hidden?
Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hidden Reef is in Levittown. It is best place, IMO, for livestock in the greater Philly area and TFP is the best for dry goods and as mentioned, is in Lancaster.

That would be really cool, though I have a feeling we'd be our own best customers.
