I am curious as to where World of Tropical fish is? Ive never heard of that one. IMO the best in Ft Laud is Exotic Aquatic. I ONLY deal with Rob the owner, whatever you want to know he can tell you or he will find out for you within a day or so. ive never really had a good experince at Coral Seas...and I HATE the fact that they smoke in there! ewww!! Going to Check out Coral reef farm tomorrow, but Ive heard great things about it so far...Ill have to get up there and check out the other one there on Commercial...Another good one worth mentioning although their prices have gone up a lot lately is Reefs Edge in Davie. Very nice fish and corals...ANd how can you not Mention The Amusement park of Big Als! quality sucks but its still a pretty cool store!

Any CT residents know of any other good ones? How about other states?
I'll add West hartford (forget the name though
Emmon's - Simsbury
Western MA
Coral Reef - Southwick (GREAT advice- talk to the guy with sideburns)
Aqua Dreams - Feeding Hills (bit expensive sometimes, but great LR)
Fish Frenzy - Indian Orchard (mostly fresh, nice looking reef tank though, LOW prices -at least for repeat buyers, lol- and a lot of great advice)
James Tropical - IO... used to be good

I love south Florida, so many good stores and the prices are great.
Oh, by the way, the Old Interocean is now called Carribean Reef Aquariums, but the sign isn't up yet. He is having his grand opening this weekend (June 30 - July 2nd). All livestock and corals are 10% off! Also, he said he was going to have great deals on equipment this weekend also. NW Corner of Federal and Copans if anyone's interested.

Mountain Shadows Marine in Bountiful he is not open during the day much since they run a large tank care facility for most of the corporations in the SLC area but they know their stuff and are quit fair on prices. They also has a lot of used equipment and will deal on. They is also the local distributor for the rest of the LFS. I have never had a problem with their fish or advice.
